Softly, but unmistakably guiding it. Most of the time, we are unaware of it. Yet, every now and then, on account of some 'fluke, ' we are startled by the results of its presence. We realize we have been part of something with neither consciousness nor consent. It is so sweet--and then it is gone. You say, 'But I don't believe in God.' And I ask, 'What makes you think it matters to God?\"' \u003cbr\u003e--from \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Lawrence Kushner, whose previous books have opened up new spiritual possibilities, now tells us stories in a new literary form. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough his everyday encounters with family, friends, colleagues and strangers, Kushner takes us deeply into our lives, finding flashes of spiritual insight in the process. Such otherwise ordinary moments as fighting with his children, shopping for bargain basement clothes, or just watching a movie are revealed to be touchstones for the sacred. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a book where literature meets spirituality, where the sacred meets the ordinary, and, above all, where people of all faiths, all backgrounds can meet one another and themselves. Kushner ties together the stories of our lives into a roadmap showing how everything \"ordinary\" is supercharged with meaning--if we can just see it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jewish Lights Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683361336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Lawrence Kushner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40367006941365,"sku":"9781683361336","price":22.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_dc81ba09-c0fb-4fe1-8080-7fb8bcf5992b.jpg?v=1624979423","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/invisible-lines-of-connection-sacred-stories-of-the-ordinary-9781683361336","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
