Publisher's Notes
Abraham Joshua Heschel was one of the most revered religious leaders of this century, and God in Search of Man and its companion volume, Man Is Not Alone, are two of his most important books and classics of modern Jewish theology. In God in Search of Man, Heschel discusses in rich and lucid prose the nature of biblical thought, how that thought becomes faith, and how faith draws man to God. His words have inspired readers from every tradition since the book was first published almost fifty years ago.

Man Is Not Alone
by Abraham Joshua Heschel
Man Is Not Alone is a profound, beautifully written examination of the ingredients of piety: how man senses God's presence, explores it, accepts it, and builds life upon it. It is a major theological work, which led Reinhold Niebuhr accurately to predict that Heschel would "become a commanding and authoritative voice not only in the Jewish community but in the religious life of America".
Essential Judaism
by George Robinson
The Jews are known as the "People of the Book." But even though a library on Judaism would fill many miles of bookshelf space, there has been no single comprehensive, hands-on volume that provides an up-to-date overview of Jewish practices and beliefs. Until now. For the Jew and non-Jew alike, Essential Judaism explains not only what Jews do and believe, but why -- and in the process answers such questions as: What happens at a synagogue service? What do the prayers and rituals mean? What is the Jewish calendar? What is in the Hebrew Bible? What are the Jewish holidays and what do they signify? ...and much more. With insight and clarity, George Robinson illuminates the Jewish life cycle at every stage -- from birth and circumcision, to bar/bat mitzvahs, to weddings, to death and mourning -- and places 4,000 years of learning and belief in a practical context for living a good Jewish life in today's world.
