"Sure. But this might take a while," is how Bob Alper responds when the passenger flying next to him asks what he does. He's a rabbi who earned a doctorate at Princeton Theological Seminary, has performed stand-up comedy hundreds of times with Arab and Muslim comedians, and is heard daily on the Sirius/XM clean comedy channel. Life Doesn't Get Any Better Than This is a collection of true and moving stories, from tales of fatherhood ('The Glance') to a touching recount of the way small gestures lodge themselves in your heart and memory ('Old Lovers'). "It is hard to choose a single story in this collection and to say: 'This is the best,' or 'this is the one that you really have to read,'" writes Rabbi Jack Riemer, co-founder of the National Rabbinic Network, "Almost all of them pull at my sleeve and say: 'You're not going to talk about me? How can you skip me?' and I am really torn between them." This volume of spiritual gems was awarded four stars by the Detroit Free Press.
