Judaism in a Nutshell: G-d

Large View 

For over three thousand years, from biblical times until the present, Jewish prophets, preachers, mystics, philosophers, and rabbis have been talking about, thinking about, teaching about, and writing about G-d. Now, for the first time, all of that talking, teaching, thinking, and writing has been condensed into one neat little package. Meet -- G-d in a Nutshell.

Written by two-time Benjamin Franklin award-winning author Shimon Apisdorf, this book is a combination between a biography of G-d, a guided tour of the core philosophical and mystical elements of the reality of G-d, and an introduction to developing a profound relationship with the Source of all existence.

This book is unique on two counts. It achieves what would seem to require hundreds of pages in just ninety-six pages, namely, a summary of Judaism's essential understanding of G-d in a remarkably brief format without sacrificing sophistication, and a genuinely thought-provoking presentation of ideas and concepts.

This is no dumbing-down of G-d. Just the opposite -- in clear, incisive, easy-to-read, and often humorous language, the author is able to present grand ideas without compromising depth or skirting the profound.

"A delightful and creative work that helps those of us struggling with the concept of G-d. This book allows us to get in touch with the unfathomable."
-- Dr. Sonya Friedman, psychologist, author and host of CNN's Sonya Live

"Inspired, clear, succinct and insightful. A singularly reliable and easy to use text for anyone on a quest for Jewish knowledge."
-- Rabbi Michel Twerski, noted rabbi, author and lecturer, Milwaukee, WI
