Stupid Ways, Smart Ways to Think about God

by Michael Shevack and Jack Bemporad

Book Overview

Is God the "Cosmic Bellhop," indulging our every need? The "Marquis de God," ready to punish us for any transgression? In this delightful, yet serious, book the authors - a rabbi & an advertising executive - survey 10 of the "stupidest" notions most adults have about God. These are exchanged for "smart" notions of a God in sync with our human adventure. A God that makes us feel whole. Illustrated throughout.

Customer Reviews

They put the real God into human prespective...

This is a profound and thought-provoking rendition of how we often see God, why it is usually narrow-minded and incomplete, and how we can adjust our view of God to be broader and more accurate. The authors chose not to render a prespective based on any single faith, but instead embraced the fullness of God through all faiths with our inadequate human understanding in mind. Readers will come to appreciate the greatness of God as well as the intimacy that God seeks with each of us. Anyone wanting a less subjective explanation of our God will benefit from reading this book.
