by Rabbi Levi Meier

Deep feelings of depression and giving up hope are often part of the human experience. Second Chances explores strategies that serve as models for a more positive and optimistic life, transforming tragic circumstances into a force for healing. Drawing upon years as a clinical therapist and spiritual chaplain, Rabbi Levi Meier (author of the best-selling book, Ancient Secrets) paints a fresh approach to the Bible and draws relevancy and sage advice from an ancient text.


Rabbi Levi Meier, Ph.D., is Jewish Chaplain of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He is a licensed clinical psychologist and a marriage, family and child therapist. He has authored numerous books on psychology and spirituality. His award-winning book, Ancient Secrets, was nominated as a finalist in the National Books for a Better Life Awards in the Spiritual category.


Praise for Second Chances:

"The beautiful story of Ruth comes alive in this newest book by Rabbi Levi Meier. Gounded in his Biblical scholarship as well as in the writings of Viktor Frankl and Carl Jung, Rabbi Meier presents a model for what real second chances can be. Using anecdotes from clients he has encountered in his role as chaplain and clinical psychologist, he insightfully reveals how the past need not necessarily predict the future. With hope, commitment and a living relationship with God, a second chance can be used to achieve anything  even something that is seemingly fixed, closed and impossible."
-Kathleen M. Wulf, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus at USC


"A wonderful mix of deep spiritual insight and practical wisdom. Rabbi Meier's profound observations are at once illuminating and inspirational. Ruth like you never before experienced."
-Rabbi Dr. Reuven P. Bulka, founder of the Journal of Psychology and Judaism


"Dr. Meier's wise and compassionate rendering of this ancient biblical tale provides us with a profound lesson in optimism."
-Estelle Frankel, author of Sacred Therapy
