Summary:
"Most of us are hungry for a system of meaning to make sense of our lives, yet traditional religion too often leaves those seeking spiritual sustenance unsatisfied. Rabbi Toba Spitzer [the first openly lesbian or gay rabbi chosen to head a national rabbinic association in 2007] understands this problem firsthand, and knows that too often it is traditional ideas of the deity -- He's too big, too impersonal, and too unbelievable - that get in the way. In '
God
Is
Here
,' she argues that whether we believe in
God
or fervently disbelieve, what we are actually disagreeing about is not
God
at all, but a metaphor of a Big Powerful Person that limits our understanding and our spiritual lives. Going back to the earliest sources for Judaism as well as Christianity, Spitzer discovers in the Hebrew Bible a rich and varied palette of metaphors for the
divine
-- including Water, Voice, Fire, Rock, Cloud, and even the process of Becoming. She addresses how we can access these ancient metaphors, as well as those drawn from rabbinic tradition and modern science, to experience holiness in our daily lives and to guide us in challenging times. Rabbi Toba Spitzer has helped many people satisfy their spiritual hunger. With '
God
Is
Here
' she will inspire you to find new and perhaps surprising ways of encountering the
divine
, right where you are."--From publisher.
