"We can go through each dayor a lifetimeas sleepwalkers while awake, tossing and turning on pillows that are as hard as appointment books, wandering a paved spiritual wilderness from bank window to house of worship to hospital bedside. But if we are fortunate enough to happen upon a vision of the Divinein a chance chat with a semi-stranger or a lingering conversation with a good friendwe can awaken to the spirituality between people that Martin Buber called I-Thou."from God in Our RelationshipsIt is possible to infuse every moment of life with meaningfrom the routine act to the once-in-a-lifetime situationand this first-of-its-kind introduction to Martin Buber's I-Thou shows you how.Drawing on Jewish tradition, the science of human behavior, Buber’s ideas and the Hasidic stories that he loved, Rabbi Dennis Ross illuminates a theology of relationships in easy-to-understand, accessible language. You will clearly see how to use the principles of I-Thou to create new answers to critical issues in life, such as:
- How do I react to others in times of stress?
- How do I relate to strangers?
- How can I take full advantage of the time I have to spend with my loved ones?
