Toba Spitzer's God Is Here is a thoughtful exploration of the idea of God and how we can reconsider the deity through metaphors and daily practices.

Most of us are hungry for a system of meaning to make sense of our lives. Rabbi Toba Spitzer understands this problem firsthand, and knows that some are unconvinced by traditional ideas of the deity--he's too big, too impersonal, and too unbelievable. In God Is Here, Rabbi Toba Spitzer explores the many ways you can redefine God in order to connect more deeply to your spirituality.

In the Hebrew Bible, there are many things considered sacred--water, place, voice, fire, rocks, clouds, even the process of becoming--and Rabbi Spitzer's book addresses how we can use these ideas to experience holiness. In the section on water, for instance, she looks at the myriad ways water flows through the Book of Exodus and frames the liberation story of the Israelites. She considers how phrases like "drinking from God," "rain of Justice," and others imbue water with a sacred quality, and then provides "God as Water" Practices: easy daily exercises that can bring God into your life simply by, for example, washing your hands accompanied by a meditation. Each chapter contains insights from the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Bible as well as accompanying practices specific to each new way of envisioning God. Rabbi Toba Spitzer has helped many people satisfy their hunger for a god they can believe in. With God Is Here she will inspire you to find the idea of God that's right for you.
