The Alphabet of Paradise: An A Z of Spirituality for Everyday Life

Paradise is not some far-off distant time or place, nor is it beyond death. It is here and now, according to Howard Cooper one of the most eloquent new voices in spirituality.

The Alphabet of Paradise contains twenty-six chapters, A Z, on such topics as: Awe Bodies Creativity Dreams Emotions Food Humor Illness Justice Kabbalah Love Money

Throughout each, Cooper uses the ancient Jewish mystical interpretive technique of PaRDeS, examining:

The Plain or literal meaning of the subject Reminders, hints, or allusions that the subject evokes Deeper spiritual meanings And the Secret or mystical meanings that are sometimes present

Demonstrating a remarkable range of cultural understanding and spiritual insight from Salman Rushdie to soccer to sauerkraut The Alphabet of Paradise uncovers the mystical meaning of our everyday lives."
