"This is a fantastic book that isn’t just about the author’s experience in the army. The army is just a way to tell the story of how to deal with life and its challenges. It wraps into it the Emunah within you and how that helps you navigate every day life and how to create the right positive perspective on how to live your life. This is highly recommended and inspirational for anyone looking at how to change your perspective to live a more fulfilling life."

"Alone with God gives a raw, personal look into Rav Gabi Katz’s time as a lone soldier in the IDF. What stood out to me was how open he was about his experiences—sharing not just what happened, but what it meant to him. The way he kept himself grounded by remembering that he chose this path, and that Hashem was always with him, really hit me. It’s the kind of book that makes you think about your own mindset and what keeps you going."

"Gabi Katz is a wonderful teacher, Chayal and person... The book has given me an abundance of motivation in preparation for the army. It is a true gift to be able to see inside the day to day life of a chayal. The divrie Torah that he writes in the book is especially special because he wrote them all amid the difficulties of being a true servant of klal Yisroel... If you lack motivation or inspiration in your life, then this book is what you need."

"An absolutely incredible read! Combines an interesting look into the life of a lone soldier together with torah thoughts in relation to army service – completely unique and unlike any other book I’ve read, but a definite favourite nonetheless!! Highly recommended."

Mickael Topiol, London
"A personal, eloquent and refreshing story of light in the midst of the chaos and darkness. Gabi takes us right back to the times of David, showing the world what it means to be a warrior Talmud chacham. Hazlacha raba!"
