| 2. |  | A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam from Gramercy Price: $14.00 Customer Review:  Karen Armstrong has incorporated the ideas of probably every blasphemous heretic that has ever lived in an epic, but futile attempt to discredit the Holy Bible and the God and Savior of the Bible, Jesus Christ. And of course, it is praised by the enemies of God (e.g. the New York Times, the... |

| 3. |  | Living a Life That Matters: Resolving the Conflict Between Conscience and Success from Pan Publishing Price: $9.97 Customer Review: Harold Kushner writes in a style that is engaging. This was not a book that requires you to muscle through a difficult opening to get to a good book, it's good from cover to cover...and at times, great. I've read several of his books now, and this one is my favorite to date and has inspired me... |

| 6. |  | A Code of Jewish Ethics: Volume 1: You Shall Be Holy from Harmony/Bell Tower Price: $17.48 Customer Review: I purchased vol. 2 of this series, and this first volume also looks worthwhile. However, I'd like to put in a word for Immanuel Kant. Kant wrote an entire book on religion emphasizing its ethical (moral) center. Statements made in the beginning of this book appear to be quite in agreement with that... |

| 8. |  | The Jew in the Lotus: A Poet's Rediscovery of Jewish Identity in Buddhist India (Plus) from HarperOne Price: $7.88 Customer Review:  There are probably few books about spirituality and religion in modern times that confront the problems of faith as truthfully as The Jew in the Lotus. Since this book is about Jewish awakening through the agency of Buddhist-Jewish dialog, the work compares and contrasts the two faiths, showing... |

| 9. |  | God in Search of Man : A Philosophy of Judaism from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $10.01 Customer Review: Heschel's God in Search of Man is a penetrating analysis of Judaism in the modern world, attempting, and largely succeeding, in showing the human relationship to God in a modern, Jewish framework. Heschel's thinking is very subtle, so this work needs to be read slowly and carefully, with... |

| 10. |  | The Thirteen Petalled Rose: A Discourse On The Essence Of Jewish Existence And Belief from Basic Books Price: $6.76 Customer Review: I have to admit that most books I read, others consider very heavy and difficult. For me, this book was very difficult, until I had a study session about it. This book should be savored, and shared. Laura Weakley |

| 11. |  | This Is My God: The Jewish Way of Life (This is My God) from Little Brown & Co (T) Price: $3.68 Customer Review: I've studied the Christian religion with some intensity as a layman. Having attended a Synagog with my Jewish friends I still couldn't get a handle on what it was the Jewish religion taught their members about God or what it meant to be a Jew who was part of a Jewish nation. Mr. Wouk explained it to... |

| 12. |  | The Prophets (Perennial Classics) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $10.00 Customer Review: Before reading The Prophets by Abraham Heschel, I had thought of the writings of the Prophets as angry diatribes against the people they were intended for, but Heschel sees these men, on the one hand, as passionate lovers of God who must relate to their people the wrath of God and the consequences... |

| 16. |  | The Lonely Man of Faith from Three Leaves Price: $5.75 Customer Review: Whenever I read anything by Rabi Soloveitchik, he blows me away. The reader may find it benefitial to learn something about the ideas of covenant before engaging this book. It is also benefitial to learn the concept of revelation as understood in Judaism. Otherwise, a dictionary will do. Among... |
