Editorial Reviews
Review
“In “Grammar for the Soul,” Weinstein coaches us not only on how to write, but on how to live. With wit, mischief, and wisdom, he shows us the inner workings of the English language so we can unlock our best selves. Strunk and White, move over!
” –Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, scholar, Congregation Emanu-El of San Francisco; author of “Kabbalah: A Love Story
“
“”Grammar for the Soul” is an entirely fresh, amusing, and authentic approach to spirituality. Expressing ourselves through language creates the way that we sculpt reality…and allow ourselves to be sculpted by it. If you read just one book this year, let this be the one. I loved it!” –Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of “Your Soul’s Compass” and “Minding the Body, Mending the Mind”
“This book is a true gem — finely honed, deeply reflective, and lit from within. It brought the wonder of language back to me, but that was only the beginning. Weinstein’s mini-essays are sensual, provocative, filled with stunning new insights about turning written expression into a transformational quest. He demonstrates how any humble paragraph, when blessed with exquisite attention, can become a perfect prayer.”
–Raphael Cushnir, author of “Unconditional Bliss, How Now,” and “The One Thing Holding You Back
“
“Lawrence Weinstein confirms what we literary types have always known in
our hearts: grammar equals virtue.
” –Anne Fadiman, author of “Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader” and “The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down”

In chapters like “Tolerating Ambiguity” and “Getting Out of One’s Own Way,” he describes how the proper use of an element of punctuation or syntax, even the simple reversal of an object and subject, can help one become a whole human being. Clear examples, amusing anecdotes, and telling quotes support Weinstein’s technique for teaching self-improvement through improved grammar.”,”bookEdition”:”1st Quest Ed”,”url”:”https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0835608654/”,”bookFormat”:”http://schema.org/EBook”,”additionalType”:”http://schema.org/PDF”,”fileSize”:”54 MB”,”accessibilityFeature”:[“login required”,”member access only”],”accessibilitySummary”:”PDF version available to authenticated members only.
