"Love like Fire and Water" is the foremost primary source on Jewish meditation. In Hebrew and English, this is a translation of Kuntres Ha'avoda of the Rebbe Rashab (1860-1920), with indispensable contemporary commentary. When paired with "Praying like Fire and Water," it presents a complete guide to Jewish meditation.

This is a siddur (Jewish prayer book) with the Hebrew on the right side of the page and English translation on the left side of the page.  The prayers are accompanied by Chassidic explanations on both sides of the pages.  Each Chassidic explanation is a self-contained "meditation," comprised of four components: 1) A quotation from the original 2) A summary of the Kaballah that is part of the meditation 3) A summary of the Chassidut that is part of the explanation, and finally a section called "Within the Words" that directs the reader how to apply the meditation to his or her prayers.  Each element is accompanied by an "icon" for identification purposes. The content for the meditations is culled from ALL of the Chassidut of the Rebbe Rashab, as well as from about half of the Chassidut of his father, the Rebbe Maharash.  On the page is also a commentary composed by the author, demonstrating the relevance of the prayers to a book that he previously translated - "Love like Fire and Water" (Kuntres Haavoda - an essay on Jewish Meditation).Preceding the text of the siddur is an introduction by the author, and several letters of approbation from significant rabbis: R' Menachem Mendel Glucovsky, R' Levi Wineberg, R' Zalman Dubinsky, R' Shneur Zalman Gafne, (Sh'yichyu) and R' YY Schochet alov hashalom... At the end of the siddur is a glossary to explain technical terms, and an appendix comprised of a translation of notes from the Rebbe Rayatz that is germane to the subject of Chassidic meditation, as well as copious endnotes. citing sources and offering explanations,
