5.0 out of 5 starsSpiritual Cross Training: A Loving Midrash For Now
ByBenBuddy in Calion January 22, 2016
Rabbi Ben Shalva takes us on a journey of his spiritual quest. Within that quest he defines three key areas of "action" within which he enlightens the reader. Written in a familiar and loving style, this book exposes the depth of feeling and inspiration that Shalva has achieved in layers of living. In many ways this "how to" is more a how not to. The good rabbi with great love exposes the pitfalls of the zealot. Not in criticism, but through enthusiasm, Shalva shows that an individual can connect to something greater than oneself by a path of love and humor and careful dedication. Not a book of yoga poses or a life philosophy, this moderately sized work allows the reader to access very special and personal history about the author, and still find the seeds of planting new spiritual meaning in one's own life.
