About Listening for God in Torah and Creation

Terry Waite CBE says of the book:

'As the world changes at an ever increasing pace it becomes increasingly important for followers of the various traditions to have a greater understanding of faiths other than their own. Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, writing from a Jewish perspective, has written a profound and eloquent series of reflections which show how directly relevant they are to the followers of Judaism today but also to followers of other major faiths ... These reflections ... will immediately be appreciated by anyone who is concerned about the moral, ethical and spiritual issues of our time.'
