(and no, i'm not a relative of Neil's)
Gem of a book July 23, 2008
I always return to this book to be inspired, amazed, and when I need to remind myself of my own humility, insignificance, and connection to the cosmos. Neil's poetic verse captures something substantial and solid. These waters are pristine, so drink deep. This wisdom may transport you somewhere else, it may transform the way you view the world. Klotz is one of the few men on the planet who I admire - not only for his creative insight - but for his far reaching authenticity. His words are visionary and meaningful interpretations of the Aramaic prayers of Jesus. You cannot go wrong with this book, my friends. It is a spiritual guide in times of darkness. Moreover, it awakens the imagination (a portal if you will) and throws you out of dogmatic sleep and binding chains into another place where surprise captures what is essentially human and unique in each of us.
The Truth about what Jesus Said June 4, 2008

This book reads like poetry. The meaning behind the words that Jesus spoke and are quoted in the Bible come to life when you hear them from his native tongue. With wonderful textual notes so that you get the full meaning of each word, these verses come to life with a whole new meaning.
When I read this book I knew that this was the Jesus I knew in my heart. It just made so much more sense and touched my heart so deeply it was like the love song I have been waiting to hear.
This book is a must for anyone wishing to hear the Truth of what Jesus was saying to us.
An absolutely masterpiece!!

I very much enjoyed this book. Language is a reflection of how a group of people think and interact and this book brings out additional nuances to Jesus' teachings that led me to a deeper understanding -- always a good thing, to my way of thinking! If you like digging deeper into the meaning of things, you'll like this book, too.
