Deepen connections with the people you love. Build relationships with the people you meet.

We can go through each day or a lifetime as sleepwalkers while awake, tossing and turning on pillows that are as hard as appointment books, wandering a paved spiritual wilderness from bank window to house of worship to hospital bedside. But if we are fortunate enough to happen upon a vision of the Divine in a chance chat with a semi-stranger or a lingering conversation with a good friend we can awaken to the spirituality between people that Martin Buber called "I-Thou." from "God in Our Relationships"

It is possible to infuse every moment of life with meaning from the routine act to the once-in-a-lifetime situation and this first-of-its-kind introduction to Martin Buber s "I-Thou" shows you how.

Drawing on Jewish tradition, the science of human behavior, Buber s ideas and the Hasidic stories that he loved, Rabbi Dennis Ross illuminates a theology of relationships in easy-to-understand, accessible language. You will clearly see how to use the principles of "I-Thou" to create new answers to critical issues in life, such as: How do I react to others in times of stress? How do I relate to strangers? How can I take full advantage of the time I have to spend with my loved ones?

By unlocking the depths in Buber s concepts for spiritual growth, Ross supplies you with the tools you need to communicate better, love more completely, and find the sacred in everyday life.
