Rabbi Lionel Blue has written this book to answer questions posed by young people starting out on their life's journey, oldies finishing it and the many muddled rest of us in between. Can we trust, albeit cautiously, our own religious and spiritual experience? How do we get it? Will we like it? And will it lead us to common and uncommon sense or cloud cuckooland?People start out on the God search for all sorts of reasons - a broken love affair maybe, being stood up, seeing the good and recognising its beauty (and conversely seeing evil and shuddering fascinated at its ugliness), burial arrangements, addiction, shocking your nearest and dearest, and falling in love with Love.Learning from radio and lecture listeners, theatre audiences, and his own varied life experience, Rabbi Blue shows how we can fit common honesty and higher truths together. As he himself says 'I went into religion because I had problems and stayed with it because it worked.' To his surprise it taught him laughter as well as compassion, even for himself.
