Taking Miracles Seriously | Free Book
Miracles are possible.
An accomplished storyteller with a refreshing, humorous voice, Rabbi Zedek draws on a range of materials including biblical tales, Indian and Japanese folklore, the works of St. Augustine, Einstein, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Groucho Marx to take readers on a truly original search for spiritual sustenance in everyday life. Readers will learn how to identify and appreciate the miraculous in an often mundane world; how to take God seriously when much of the intellectual world doesn’t; and how to make the most out of underutilized spiritual resources such as poetry and prayer. Heartfelt and amusing, Taking Miracles Seriously is a master course on how to craft an enriched and enriching spiritual life.
In The Press
“This book, like the everyday miracles it asks you to appreciate, is modest and profound, amusing yet deep, entertaining but deeply meaningful. Rabbi Zedek uses wit and wisdom to present a roadmap for leading a more appreciative, meaningful life. We'd be fools not to follow his suggestions.” —Peter Grosz, actor and comedy writer.
“Rabbi Zedek weaves a tapestry of stories from a thousand sources—novels, movies, Hebrew texts, religious and political leaders. His teachings offer clarity, comfort, and often a good laugh. Your 'everyday' life will be all the richer and more confident for this inspiring and insightful book.” —Deborah Szekely, co-founder of Rancho La Puerta.
“This slim volume, with grace and humor, is a valuable tool to understanding the everyday problems we all encounter and a wonderful guide to making one's life more meaningful.” —Stanley Gold, former chair of the USC Board of Trustees.
“Michael Zedek is an elegant thinker and writer who draws on years of experience as a religious leader, scholar, theologian, and pastor. A wise, helpful book and an absolute delight to read.” —John Buchanan, former editor/publisher The Christian Century.
“An exciting and wonderful excursion into a spiritual world in which we should all spend more time. I learned and relearned much wisdom. I love the book and the man.” —Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, Missouri's 5th Congressional District.
“Music is important to me because it can help us find beauty in the world, in other people, and ourselves. Rabbi Zedek's book also encourages us to hang on to that part of ourselves that's open to everyday beauty.” —Jeff Tweedy, Wilco.
