Hineini in Our Lives Learning to Repsond to Others Though 14 Biblical Texts & Personal Stories

Hineini (Here I am!). This single spoken word appears only fourteen times in the Bible-each time in a memorable and meaningful story: Abraham offering Isaac as a sacrifice to God, Jacob deceiving his father for Esau's birthright, Moses answering the call that comes from the Burning Bush. Popular teacher and scholar Norman Cohen explores each of these powerful stories and shows what each can reveal about you as parent, spouse, sibling, lover and friend. By probing these dynamic biblical relationships, Cohen challenges you to think about the ways you relate to the people in your life and to God. And, to add other fascinating perspectives to the conversation, eleven insightful authors and teachers share personal reflections that exemplify each of the hineini passages. Contributors include: Rabbis Lester Bronstein, Laura Geller, Neil Gillman, Richard Jacobs, Lawrence Kushner, Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and Harold M. Schulweis, and Phyllis Trible, Alan M. Dershowitz and Peter Pitzele.Cohen, Norman J. is the author of 'Hineini in Our Lives Learning to Repsond to Others Though 14 Biblical Texts & Personal Stories', published 2005 under ISBN 9781580232746 and ISBN 1580232744.
