Synopses & Reviews
There is no easy prescription for how to know God, yet
everyone can pursue a personal relationship with God,
just as our patriarchs and matriarchs did in their lives.
How we come to know God, however, is unique to
each of us, influenced by our study of Torah, the
insights of the Rabbis of antiquity, as well as our own
experiences throughout our lifetime.
To open the way for you to find God's presence in
your life, Rabbi David Lyon uses the central prayer in
Jewish worship, the Amidah, as a starting point, and
guides you through familiar and classic Torah texts and
related rabbinic midrash. He follows the progression of
your understanding of and relationship with God, from
the earliest ideas of a bearded Diety on a heavenly
throne to the mature image of God as a spiritual
companion and source of comfort. He helps you cut
through any preconceived ideas of God you imagined
in your childhood and any dogmas that have stifled
your creativity when thinking about your personal
relationship with God. He shows you that you can
enjoy a unique relationship with God the God of you.
