4.0 out of 5 stars Wrestling with divine concepts, May 21, 2007

Dear One "Yiddish Book Worm" (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wrestling With the Divine: A Jewish Response to Suffering (Hardcover)

I particularly like this book as it is one of the first books I ever purchased that introduced me to Jewish mysticism. I read to my unbelieving father from this book and even he found it enchanting. The language of Mr. Boteach is equisite. He words these difficult concepts in such a way as to make them understandable to the scripture novice. If you are trying to "witness" to an intelligent unbeliever this is the book I highly recommend. It is especially appealing to the person who believes in an intelligence in the universe, but finds it difficult to call it God. After reading this book, the person will take one giant leap toward a personal relationship with God.
