Sun, Sand and Soul. How to have a Happy Holiday - Hardcover
But don't just expect this to be another holiday guide! True, it tells you how to plan, budget the cost, read with the brochures, deal with the accommodation and have a romance. But, the insights go much deeper so that all aspects of taking a holiday become food for thought about the bigger journey of life itself.
SUN, SAND AND SOUL, reminds us that God is everywhere from the guy or girl you dance with at the hotel barbecue, to the holiday brochure as well as in the Bible. It is a joy to read and an inspiration to holidaymakers everywhere. To use the Rabbis' wisdom remember, 'Happy Holiday! Life is tough and you deserve it!'

Review:
Rabbi Lionel Blue cuts right to the heart of the matter when he says: "Holidays are about happiness." He recommends you invite your body, mind and soul to a tea party before going away. Let them discuss what they each want from a holiday and "don't let two of them gang up against the third and suppress it".
Book Description:
Blue's gift for discussing spiritual matters in a practical way without sounding preachy or mawkish is well-suited to his subject matter. Each chapter follows a similar format to BBC Radio 4's "Thought for the Day" slot (to which Blue is a well-known contributor): personal anecdote followed by wisdom in the form of thoughts, exercises, prayers, jokes and advice. In some ways, both Blue and his co-author, Rabbi Jonathan Magonet have written a kind of spiritual diary, charting what they have learned from a lifetime's worth of holidays in the broadest sense, including package tours, unexpected stays in hospitals, retreats, pilgrimages and conferences.
From the hard sell by time-share holiday companies, to worries about using foreign toilets; from one-night stands, to arguing with your partner on the journey home, Sun, Sand and Soul is a pleasing, and considered look at holidays and the quest for happiness. --Zahavit Shalev
Full of practical advice for body and soul, this book shows us how to have a happy or happier holiday as Lionel Blue and Jonathan Magonet steer us calmly through every possible holiday scenario
