“We are secret agents in the secret life of God,” says Rabbi David Aaron. “God lives His secret life on earth through you and me—if we let Him in. Our mission is the meaning of our life. This is our ultimate purpose, power, passion, and pleasure.”

In his landmark new book, THE SECRET LIFE OF GOD: DISCOVERING THE DIVINE WITHIN YOU (Shambhala Publications/May 11, 2004/$21.95), Rabbi David Aaron tackles life’s most basic and complex paradoxes head-on, offering revolutionary answers to age-old questions about God and our purpose on earth. In simple, straightforward language that is equal parts rich theology, soulful wisdom and compelling page-turner, Aaron shares mystical, personally-transformative secrets. Readers from all religions, lifestyles and spiritual paths will find reassuring guidance and inspiration within this monumental book.

“A major achievement,” proclaimed Publishers Weekly of Aaron’s previous book, Seeing God: Ten Life-Changing Lessons of the Kabbalah. The third in a series of ground-breaking works by the author whom Deepak Chopra calls “inspirational, wise, warm and witty,” THE SECRET LIFE OF GOD is invaluable for anyone who is longing for deeper meaning, personal fulfillment and a renewed commitment to a purposeful life. Moving yet accessible, steeped in spirituality, THE SECRET LIFE OF GOD challenges traditional notions of God and humankind, presenting a refreshing alternative view of divinity and humanity based on the teachings of Kabbalah that were secret for millennia.

Infused with profound clarity, heart-felt compassion, humor, wit and personal anecdotes THE SECRET LIFE OF GOD illuminates the surprising paradoxes of spiritual growth and answers questions such as:

  • Why did a perfect God create such an imperfect me?
  • If God is so good, why is there so much suffering in the world?
  • What is my life’s deepest purpose?
  • What difference do my choices make?
  • How can I connect to God in my day-to-day life?
  • How can I cope with my daily challenges and achieve true peace of mind?

“David Aaron is a wise, compassionate, brilliant teacher who uses irony, paradox, and gentle humor to reveal the deepest, ultimate teachings of Jewish mysticism, a truth that is hidden in the core of consciousness,” says Rabbi David A. Cooper, author of God is a Verb. “It is simple and simultaneously profound; a secret that can transform lives. This is an essential read for any serious spiritual aspirant.”

Rabbi David Aaron is the founder and dean of Isralight, an international organization with centers and programs in Israel and throughout North America. For the past 18 years, Rabbi Aaron has dedicated himself to sharing the spiritual basics of ancient Jewish wisdom and inspiring others to embrace a life-long process of personal transformation and empowerment in order to experience a joyous relationship with the Divine.

A popular lecturer and a frequent guest on radio and TV, his weekly television program in Israel, “Endless Light,” is soon to be aired in the United States. Rabbi Aaron’s other books, Endless Light: The Ancient Path of the Kabbalah to Love, Spiritual Growth and Personal Power and Seeing God: Ten Life-Changing Lessons of the Kabbalah have attracted national media attention including Larry King Live and E! Entertainment.

I am delighted to make a review copy of THE SECRET LIFE OF GOD: DISCOVERING THE DIVINE WITHIN YOU available to you.

Rabbi Aaron will be in New York the week of May 17th and is currently accepting interview requests on a select basis. To arrange an interview or to receive a copy of THE SECRET LIFE OF GOD, please contact Shira Dicker at 212.663.4643 or 917.403.3989, or e-mail Shira Dicker.

Advance Praise for THE SECRET LIFE OF GOD: DISCOVERING THE DIVINE WITHIN YOU

“The Secret Life of God is the most brilliant and profound exploration of the Kabbalistic teachings and philosophy about our transcendent and immanent relationship with the Divine that I have read in twenty-six years of Kabbalah study. Rabbi David Aaron has revealed and clarified deep Kabbalistic insights in a way that make them accessible to every level of spiritual seeker.” —Gabriel Cousens, M.D., director of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, Patagonia, Arizona

“With David Aaron’s characteristic common sense and extraordinary array of life experiences, he fills The Secret Life of God with wise advice that can help every reader.” —Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, author of The Book of Jewish Values

“Many signposts are needed in our lonely spiritual journey. Heartwarming, personal, and soulful, The Secret Life of God is a very welcome companion to travelers on the challenging roads that lie ahead. It infuses us with hope and direction.” — Simon Jacobson, author of Toward a Meaningful Life

“One can study music in two ways: looking at the notes written on paper or hearing the music. The same is true for the study of Kabbalah. With Rabbi David Aaron we hear and feel the marvelous music of this ancient source of wisdom.” —Dr. Gerald Schroeder, author of Genesis and the Big Bang Theory, The Science of God, and The Hidden Face of God
