Reviews of God Is Here: Reimagining the Divine
"I opened God is Here with exceedingly high expectations, and I was not disappointed. Rabbi Spitzer is one of our most intelligent and thoughtful Reconstructionist rabbis, a leader in the non-Orthodox Jewish world. Indeed, she calls upon multiple Jewish sources—biblical, rabbinic, Hasidic, and mussar texts— along with a host of contemporary writers, from visionary science fiction author Octavia Butler to feminist activist adrienne marie brown. Throughout, Spitzer’s gifts as a teacher, preacher, and spiritual guide shine through." - Rabbi Nancy Fuchs KreimerRead the entire review here
"Spitzer writes with philosophical and religious depth and wisdom and yet has ability as a writer and a storyteller to pass on this depth with lucid, engaging storytelling and prose. Each chapter is eye-opening, inspirational, and invitational, while a pleasure to read. For this Christian theologian and disciple of Jesus, Spitzer shares theology and spiritual practice which both deepen my appreciation and honor for a tradition that is not my own, while at the same time giving me permission to receive from and welcome beliefs and practices from a tradition that is adjacent to mine as well." - Rev. Steve Watson
