Arnold dispenses much practical advice while exposing the roots of such human perennials as loneliness, frustration, alienation, and despair. Sometimes his medicine is Zen-like in its common sense. -- Booklist
Escape Routes is a gem of a book from an infinitely wise pen a lucid, poetic, and pragmatic companion for people who feel trapped in lifes hells. Though rooted in the authors personal faith, it transcends religious boundaries and has universal, ecumenical appeal. -- Shira Dicker, National Foundation for Jewish Culture
