The God Between Us by Lyn Brakeman
Human relationships are complicated. We love/hate, hurt/heal, fight/forgive. And we look for help on fixing our relationships in many places: TV talk shows, therapists, friends' advice, books on relationships. Rev. Lyn Brakeman, a therapist herself, suggests an often overlooked source for clues to healing relationships: the stories of ancient Scripture. What if, she proposes, the major message we're supposed to get out of Scripture is not so much the story of God but of God's relationship with humanity--and how this primary relationship affects our relationships with each other. From this premise, Brakeman uses the Jewish interpretive storytelling known as midrash to take a deeper look at the universal cycle of intimacy, separation, and reunion. Through the age-old stories, THE GOD BETWEEN US explores the relationships of some well-known--and others less familiar--players. THE GOD BETWEEN US speaks to all Judeo-Christian traditions. The inclusion of meditations, prayers, and questions for self-reflection at the end of teach chapter adds a rich dimension for individual or group use. Eminently useable for seminary and women's study programs.
