Rabbi Sasso (God's Paintbrush, not reviewed) is a woman with a
mission: She wants to show that a singular God is universal,
despite cultural variations of God's identity. She creatively ties
in the names people choose for God with their experiences. A young
mother calls God "Mother," a freed slave calls God "Redeemer," a
nurse calls God "Healer." But what all of them don't understand is
that, despite the various names, God is one and the same for all of
them. Finally, the people meet by a lake, God's mirror, and realize
that there is just one Creator, Healer, Redeemer, Father, and
Friend. And they rename God together, calling God "One." A little
too earnest, perhaps. Stone's illustrations are fine and uplifting.
(Kirkus Reviews)
Everyone and everything in the world has a name. What is God s
name?
In poetic text and vibrant illustrations, this modern fable
celebrates the diversity and, at the same time, the unity of all
people.
God must have a single name this greater and more powerful than
all other names. All the people of the world set out to find God s
name and each of the many seekers is sure that he or she alone has
found the right name, the "only" name, for God. Finally, they come
together and at last learn what God s name really is.
"In God s Name" is a spiritual celebration of all people of the
world and their belief in one God.
