Amazing Chesed : Living A Grace Filled Judaism

The question isn t whether grace-God s love freely given-is there for you in Judaism. The question is, do you have the courage to accept it?

Ask almost any Jew whether grace is a central concept in Judaism and an essential element in living Jewishly, and, chances are, their answer will be no. But that s the wrong answer. This fascinating foray into God s love freely given offers the reader a way to answer that question in the affirmative.

Drawing from ancient and contemporary, traditional and non-traditional Jewish wisdom, this book reclaims the idea of grace in Judaism in three ways:

It offers a view of God that helps the reader understand what grace is, why grace is, and how grace manifests in the world.
It sets forth a reading of Judaism that is grace-filled: an understanding of creation, Shabbat and other Jewish practices from a grace-filled perspective.
It challenges the reader to be embraced and transformed by grace, and to live life as a vehicle for God s grace, thereby fulfilling the promise of being created in God s image and likeness.
