Description
Paradise is not some far-off distant time or place, nor is it beyond death. It is here and now, according to Howard Cooper--one of the most eloquent new voices in spirituality.
The Alphabet of Paradise contains twenty-six chapters, A-Z, on such topics as:
Awe - Bodies - Creativity - Dreams - Emotions - Food - Humor - Illness - Justice - Kabbalah - Love - Money
Throughout each, Cooper uses the ancient Jewish mystical interpretive technique of PaRDeS, examining:
- The Plain or literal meaning of the subject - Reminders, hints, or allusions that the subject evokes - Deeper spiritual meanings - And the Secret or mystical meanings that are sometimes present
Demonstrating a remarkable range of cultural understanding and spiritual insight--from Salman Rushdie to soccer to sauerkraut--The Alphabet of Paradise uncovers the mystical meaning of our everyday lives.
