A guide designed for those who wish to actively participate in spiritual practice.  The book is divided into the following sections: Basic Jewish Meditation Practices,  Jewish Retreats, and Kabbalistic Meditations.

God in Search of Man combines scholarship with lucidity, reverence and compassion as Dr. Heschel discusses not man’s search for God but God’s for man - the notion of a Chosen People, an idea which, he writes, "signifies not a quality inherent in the people but a relationship between the people and God." It is an extraordinary description of the nature of Biblical thought and how that thought becomes faith.

A supportive and wise guide for beginners that answers commonly asked questions about the nature and history of Jewish mediation;  shows beginners how to start their practice;  gives step by step instructions for meditations that are the core of Jewish meditation;  and explains the challenges and rewards of a Jewish meditation practice.
