The Book of Miracles Reviews

Many religion books give our young people facts to learn; here is a book which gives them wisdom to remember. -Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, author of God's Paintbrush and Adam & Eve's First Sunset: God's New Day The beauty of The Book of Miracles is its universality. Its message, although coming from a Jewish tradition, speaks to the souls of all. -Dr. Ronald J. Valenti, Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Archdiocese of Baltimore A well-written, easy-to-understand, very lovely guide to Jewish spirituality. I recommend it to all teens as a good read. -Kimberly Kirberger, coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul A wonderful introduction to Jewish spirituality for children but just as importantly, for their parents; it belongs in every Jewish home. -Dr. Ron Wolfson, Whizin Institute for Jewish Family Life, University of Judaism; author of The Art of Jewish Living Series

About Rabbi Lawrence Kushner

Lawrence Kushner, author, lecturer and spiritual leader, is regarded as one of the most creative religious thinkers and writers in America. A commentator on National Public Radio's All Things Considered, he has focused us on spiritual renewal with wisdom and humor. Through his books and lectures, people of every faith and background have found inspiration and new strength for spiritual search and growth. It has been said that some spiritual leaders blend religion and psychology to help us walk better on the ground, but Lawrence Kushner draws on the wisdom of the mystics to help us dance better on the ceiling. Kushner's acclaimed books include I'm God; You're Not: Observations on Organized Religion & Other Disguises of the Ego; Honey from the Rock: An Easy Introduction to Jewish Mysticism; Invisible Lines of Connection: Sacred Stories of the Ordinary; The Book of Letters: A Mystical Hebrew Alphabet; Jewish Spirituality: A Brief Introduction for Christians; and In God's Hands, an inspiring fable for children, with Gary Schmidt (all Jewish Lights). Kushner served as rabbi at Congregation Beth El in Sudbury, Massachusetts, for almost thirty years; he is currently the Emanu-El scholar at Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco, and an adjunct faculty member at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. He is fascinated by graphic design and computers (designing most of his Jewish Lights books). He enjoys Mozart, hanging around sailboats, and making his granddaughters giggle.
