Reimagining the Divine

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Embark on a transformative exploration of the divine, guided by Rabbi Toba Spitzer's illuminating insights into the nature of God and spirituality.

In God Is Here, Rabbi Toba Spitzer invites readers on a profound journey to rediscover the sacred in everyday life. Drawing upon the rich metaphors found in the Hebrew Bible, such as Water, Voice, Fire, Rock, Cloud, and the process of Becoming, Spitzer reveals a diverse palette of divine representations that can resonate deeply with those seeking spiritual fulfillment.

Recognizing that traditional religious concepts often leave spiritual seekers unsatisfied, Spitzer addresses the limitations of viewing God as a "Big Powerful Person." By delving into ancient Jewish and Christian sources, as well as teachings from other spiritual traditions, she uncovers a wealth of alternative metaphors that can guide us through challenging times and help us experience holiness in our daily lives.

Each chapter of God Is Here offers thought-provoking insights accompanied by practical suggestions for bringing these divine metaphors to life. Whether you are a believer, a fervent disbeliever, or somewhere in between, Rabbi Toba Spitzer's transformative approach to spirituality will inspire you to find new and surprising ways of encountering the divine, right where you are.
