I Don't Know What to Believe | Free Book
Americans—especially young people—are more un-churched and less affiliated with organized religion than at any other time in our history. I Don’t Know What to Believe addresses that decline and presents an insightful examination of authentic spirituality for those who desire answers, guidance, and perspective regarding an important aspect of their lives: their beliefs, and relationship to, a higher power.
Rabbi Ben Kamin addresses questions he has received from real people over the thirty years of his ministry, such as: Why does my parents’ religion have to define me? Am I God’s child even if I don’t go to religious services? Does scripture include me in its ideology regardless of how much scripture I know? How do I follow my own spirituality while still respecting my parents’ traditions?
Ben Kamin is the award-winning author of ten books and is a scholar on the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He has led congregations in Toronto, New York, Cleveland, and San Diego since his ordination in 1978.
In The Press
Rabbi Ben Kamin is a compassionate expert on spiritual
inclusiveness, especially as it applies to a generation of deeply
feeling yet religiously disenchanted younger people. In this
refreshingly accessible guide for those seeking a place to alight, he
builds a bridge between ironclad traditions and newer demographics
that require flexibility. His enlightened application of spiritual
pragmatism’ liberates biblical characters from theological traps and
makes them as real, flawed, and human as we are.”--Eric Fingerhut, Former US Congressman and President of Hillel International
An
extremely timely and insightful book written for the many people who
are dissatisfied with religion but want more than strict secularism.
Millennials are looking for meaning, an older population is rejecting
materialism, conscious capitalism is ascending, and Pope Francis is
more and more appealing as a world religious leader. Rabbi Ben Kamin
has captured the old-time spiritual values hidden in scripture. This
is a must-read for everyone, regardless of faith background.”--Joseph W. Jordan, Author of Living a Life of Significance
Rabbi Ben
Kamin’s new book is filled with hope and tolerance and a unique
understanding of the original intentions of the Bible. As a survivor
of four Nazi death camps, I can attest to what happens when people
completely judge and humiliate others just because we have a different
view, a different background, or a different understanding of God.
Kamin’s book is the inspirational opposite of racism and separatism.
In speaking to people around the world about religious bigotry, I have
found that so many are afflicted with the need to make themselves
bigger by making others smaller. Rabbi Kamin reminds us that in the
eyes of God, we are all the same size and we all have equal
value.”--Lou Dunst, Holocaust survivor and inspirational
speaker
This is a book for all those who have voted with
their feet and walked away from organized religion, yet, at the same
time, have a spiritual yearning to deeply connect with what is holy
and sacred in the world and make meaning of their lives.”--Rabbi Kerry M. Olitzky, Executive Director, Big Tent Judaism, Author of
Life’s Daily Blessings
