Toba Spitzer's God Is Here is a transformative exploration of the
idea of God, offering new paths to experiencing the realm of the
sacred. 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
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, Spitzer
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. In the section on water, for instance, she looks
at the myriad ways water flows through the Biblical stories of the
Israelites and emerges as a powerful metaphor for the divine in the
Prophets and Psalms. She invites us to explore what it might mean
to "drink from God," or to experience godly justice as something
that "rains down" and "flows like a river." Each chapter contains
insights from the Bible and teachings from Judaism and other
spiritual traditions, accompanied by suggestions for practice to
bring alive each of the God metaphors. 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.
