Where Does God Live? [Mass Market Paperback]

Rabbi Marc Gellman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 20, 1992

This book might be good for you to read alone. It might be good for your parents to read to you. It might be good for your parents to read alone. What we hope is that as you are reading this book, you will also be talking with your parents about God. Believe us! Talking about God is much better than talking about homework and slightly better than talking about baseball.

A book for parents

Parents usually don't know how to answer their children's questions about God, and Jewish and Christian children ask the same questions about God. These are the reasons we wrote this book. These are also the reasons we wrote this book together. What we hope is that these questions and answers will help you in talking to your child about God. The questions are not the only questions, and the answers are not dogma. They are just a way to begin.

Winner of the Best Literature for Young People Award from The Christophers.

This review is from: Where Does God Live? Questions and Answers for Parents and Children (Hardcover)

This book by the "God Squad" is a MUST have for couples and families of all faiths. This book explores the many questions both children and adults have as they walk the path in their spiritual journey. My husband and I are an interfaith couple and love to share this book with everyone we know. Some enjoy it so much, they won't give it back. Rabbi Gellman and Msgr.Hartman are humorous and insightful. Add this book to your home library - you won't regret it!

This review is from: Where Does God Live? Questions and Answers for Parents and Children (Paperback)

As the owner of a bookstore for many years, I cannot tell you how many copies of this book I sold...or how many parents came back for second copies after they wore the first one out reading it to their kids. My Jewish friends were especially pleased to find a book that answered so many important questions in an inclusive way. Rabbi Gelman and his close friend, Fr. Hartman, have a website, a weekly column and lots of wisdom to share in ways we can all appreciate no matter what our age or spiritual persuasion.
