$19.95  Read Customer Reviews Discover God's understanding of Buried Treasure: Secrets for Living from the Lord's Language gives you a glimpse into God's understanding of love, happiness, faith and wealth.
Join Rabbi Daniel Lapin on a fascinating treasure hunt through the Lord's language - one which will excite and inform those with no knowledge of Hebrew as well as those who are fluent in the language.
Unlike any other language ever spoken, Hebrew words reveal their meanings through the very order, composition and even shape of the letters that God chose for each word. Among other nuggets of insight, discover why in Hebrew the word "face" only appears in the plural, why a table is a place of grace, and why it is more important to have a spouse who is committed to you than one who professes love for you.
Using real-life antecdotes drawn from his many years in the rabbinate, as well as from the hundreds of thousands of people he has touched while teaching throughout America and overseas, Rabbi Daniel Lapin uncovers a wealth of insights that will enrich your life. Buried Treasure is an easy-to-read, practical book that will entertain and instruct you while revealing the awesome power of God's chosen tongue.

This past month Mom and Dad moved to a new home. Since they moved into a place 70% smaller (and 100% nicer!), the family had to pitch in and determine what to pitch out. My job was to sort through the thousands of books and determine which ones to keep. (I am happy to report that we were able to get rid of three of them!)
As I was sorting through the books I realized that many of them had been read and underlined by Dad. Jackpot! There is nothing better than reading through a book and seeing what your Dad thought was important, and then really understanding where your Dad’s ideas came from. And of course, when your Dad is Zig Ziglar, it is even better.
As I was flipping through one of the underlined books I came to a part that caught my eye. Dad had underlined a great deal over a series of pages on the subjects of faith, business, and prosperity. The author was making the point that in Hebrew the words for faith and business are very close in meaning. The author pointed out that in order to be truly successful in business (or in sales), you do the work first and then you get paid. This takes faith! Faith that your hard work will be rewarded. The author then points out that societies that have a high level of faith in God tend to be much more prosperous than those that don’t because faith is like a muscle; the more you use it, the bigger it gets. Faith in God literally allows you to have more faith in your business and that your hard work will pay off.
This belief is really a cornerstone of Dad’s philosophy, “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” I think it’s pretty amazing that Hebrew, God’s language (and which Dad cannot speak or read), is in perfect harmony with this major principle. It really does help when you know the author personally!
Speaking of authors, and the book I am referring to, the story gets better. Finding the underlined words from Dad was like finding buried treasure. The coincidence (God’s way of staying anonymous) is that the title of the book I am referring to is Buried Treasure by Rabbi Daniel Lapin. Imagine finding buried treasure in Buried Treasure! What a double blessing!

This book led me to order the complete package of Rabbi Lapin's books. It was given to me by a friend, who underlined like crazy. It clarifies many words in our translation of the Bible and the understanding of what is written. I was especially struck by the definition of laugh. I am part of a women's interfaith Bible study, and I think I will find the rest of the books helpful in all of us understanding our beliefs. My husband thought it was funny that I asked for this set of books/cds for a Christmas present. |
