Lionel Blue has a very individual way of looking at his religion. He crosses our self imposed boundaries of creeds and denominations with humour and obvious delight. Although a Reformed Jewish Rabbi, he is comfortable with Christianity and takes what he needs to nurture his soul wherever he finds it. If you are a follower of his pieces on ‘Thought for the day’ or have read any of his previous books, you will know exactly what I mean. His sexuality and Jewish upbringing, the Holocaust and all it meant to his family and community, are never far from his thinking, but on every page there are flashes of his humour, as he tries to encourage each ‘Dear Godseeker’ ‘to make a spiritual journey inside you and maybe a physical journey outside you.’ Plenty of food for thought among the chuckles as you would expect from this author.
