The feel-good place to buy books
Genesis: the Beginning of Desire by Aviva Gottlieb Zornberg
Offers an exploration of Genesis. This title presents stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac, Jacob and Esau, Rachel, and Joseph. It illuminates the tensions that grip human beings as they search for and encounter God.
"..an extraordinary book. Not quite scholarship as such, nor exegesis, nor literary criticism or theology, it partakes of them all, filtering familiar texts through a richly intelligent and transforming sensibility." - The Jerusalem Report "... sinewy, powerful and hauntingly beautiful." - Publishers' Weekly"
