| Kabbalah: A Love Story:
Novel Mystical Approach and Mystical Novel Reviewed by Arthur L. Finkle I have used this gem in a serous study group on mysticism. What is arcane, Kushner explains simply. Like the Zohar, its explanation involves becoming part of the cosmos; not looking from the outside. Providing the ambience and involving the reader with the word, this novel provides the flavor of mysticism, which tastes delicious and will endure longer ... Read More: |

| Kushner walks us through the exegetical vantage points of seven different rabbis, each looking at the same text. Jacob awakes from a dream about a ladder (Gen 28:16), and declares that he has experienced God. Kushner then poetically imagines the seven rabbis ascending and descending the ladder to teach us how to read the text. What results is a beautifully poetic look at the biblical text itself, a clever mode of teaching us Jewish history and midrash, and a fully postmodern system of acknowledging the ... Read More: |

| It was one of my great privileges and honor to have had the opportunity to study under Rabbi Kushner while a gradate student at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. Rabbi Kushner is a wisdom teacher of the highest quality and his book Honey from the Rock is one of those rare books which touches the depths of our own hearts, and speaks forcefully to the quiet voice of wisdom inside of each of us. Moreover, Rabbi Kushner can open doors long sealed shut, and reveal some essential beauty within those rooms, hidden and lost ... Read More: |

| 6.Because Nothing Looks Like God (Teacher's Guide) by: Karen Hushner, Lawrence Kushner, Karen Kushner 2003-07 |

| Introduced to this book a few years ago by a friend's rabbi during a children's sabbath celebration, my husband and I were quite impressed. The art is so inviting to look at. But more importantly, the content is worth sharing with children you want to share a positive image of faith with very early on -- whether they are children who share your own religion or are in another religion that you respect.
We are Christian and have now shared this lovely book with children in our congregation, children in other Christian denominations (both ... Read More: |

| I found "Invisible Lines of Connection" to be a really insightful, enjoyable read. In fact, I didn't want the book to end!
Through a series of true, personal short-stories, the author (Lawrence Kushner) shows how sacred our daily experiences/lives are, and how everyone & everything is ultimately connected to everyone/thing else. The stories are categorized under four "main" topics - that of reverence, inheritance, responsibility & connection - with each story providing examples of how each of these topics can show up ...

| 8.Where Is God? by: Lawrence Kushner, Karen Kushner 2000-11 |

|
| Kushner's Where Is God is a wonderful introduction to the concept that God's presence infuses nature and all human exchanges and experiences. I actually prefer this board book to the full-size, older-children's book it is drawn from (Because Nothing Looks Like God), because the board book forces one to linger on the poetry of the text and the tenderness of the cropped illustrations. I get choked up almost every time I read this little book to my two-year-old son, simply because it is so simple and so true, and because I feel it expresses exactly my belief ... Read More: |

| I had never read anything by Lawrence Kushner before, but had heard some of his commentaries on National Public Radio. Recently a friend gave me this book as a birthday present. What an absolute pleasure it has been to read! Each essay is usually only a few pages long so it is an easy book to find time to read. He is a great writer, with a wonderful sense of humor, but he delivers some amazingly creative insight and makes you look at your world and what you believe in in a completely fresh new way. I would highly recommend ... Read More: |

| 10.What Does God Look Like? (20000) by: Lawrence Kushner, Karen Kushner 2001-03 |

| Finally, a children's book about God that won't give anyone a headache or a cavity. This book is beautiful and poetic in its approach and pretty much unbiased, other than leaning towards monotheism somewhat. A good antidote to the religious imperialism and sickly sweet treacle being passed off as religious education these days. |
