Creating a Genuine Relationship with the Divine
In this deeply compelling work, world-renowned author and spiritual teacher Rabbi Manis Friedman takes on a topic that is as revolutionary as it is essential to the spiritual path.
Many of us have grown up with the idea that God is simply a giver of guidelines, a kind of crossing guard at the crossroads of life who points us in the right direction, punishes us when we don’t obey, and is far beyond having any needs of His own. If the Creator is perfect and all-powerful, how could He possibly need anything from us? And yet He does. In fact, Friedman boldly claims that God needs us more than we need Him.
Filled with real-life examples and enlightening stories from Jewish tradition, this profound and provocative work offers new perspectives about the nature of the Divine and all-important questions like “Why am I here?” as well as what it means to have a genuine relationship with God. Perhaps most importantly, you’ll explore the surprising and extraordinary truth that’s been hidden in plain sight yet is crucial to living a full and meaningful life—the truth that God is vulnerable and depends on us.
Popular author of The Joy of Intimacy and Creating a Life That Matters, Friedman is known for his incisive wit, refreshing insights, and universal wisdom that speaks to readers of all traditions. With guidance that is both empowering and practical, Divinely Vulnerable invites us all to create a close relationship with our very personal, intimate, and vulnerable God.
