This book deserves a large and thoughtful readership. . . . the insights are worth the effort.May 13, 2009 (online) -- Robert L. Perkins * Stetson University * In a world filled with war, torture, and cruelty, where millions of people die of diseases related to malnutrition or inadequate health care each year, Martin Beck Matustik's book is an important and innovative inquiry into an age-old problem. -- Rabbi Michael Lerner * Tikkun *
