RABBI JEFFREY SALKIN, WRITING FOR THE RELIGION NEWS SERVICE, REVIEWS A GOD WE CAN BELIEVE IN HERE:

(Spoiler alert: It’s a great, brief, insightful overview of the book!)
RABBI STEPHEN WYLEN, WRITING FOR OHR L’NAORRR, HAS THIS TO SAY ABOUT A GOD WE CAN BELIEVE IN:
“The counter-revolution to restore the original vision of Reform Judaism is past due, and here it is, in the form of this collection of essays . . . “
“The writers are relentlessly positive. They write about what they and we should believe in, not against what we should not believe in.”
“ . . . it would be sufficient if all liberal rabbis and Jewish intellectual influencers would buy a copy and think about what this book is saying. If we believe that Truth and Religion have anything in common, we must take this book seriously.”

This book is inspiring and enlightening. It broadened my understanding of three key topics: a Believable God, Believable Words, and Believable Holiness. The author of each carefully written and easy-to-follow essay looked at ideas about God, religion, and spirituality from a unique perspective. At first the essays encouraged me to reach out and learn more. “Reaching out” was soon followed by “reaching in.” I found myself looking inward and responding on a deeply personal level.

I'm going to be digesting this book for a long time - fantastic thoughts! All of the chapters are thoughtful, helpful, and respectful of any ideas anyone might have - or not have - about God. The questions posed by Rabbi Agler at the end of the book are perfect.

Got the book soon after I ordered it, with a nice note form Richard Agler. Great book. Lots of diverse approaches to God, something for everyone to identify with.
