Post Dawkins, how can people believe with their hearts, minds and souls? Rabbi Blue has written this book to satisfy a need, especially among young people. Post Dawkins, how can intelligent people believe, with their hearts their minds and their souls. Learning from problems posed by his audiences and his listeners, he attempts to map out how we can fit common honesty and higher truths together. The issues he considers are much simpler than issues in Churches of Synagogues. There are many reasons for starting out on this journey- a broken love affair, being stood up, seeing the good and recognising that it is beautiful, curoing your own loneliness, trying to believe you matter, because you want a divine daddy, because it helps alcoholics and so forth. As the Rabbi says of himself 'I went in to religion because I was in trouble. I stayed in it because it works'. This is a consumer's guide to religion. It is eclectic in its range but the conclusion is that inspite of the pain and the effort, it works!

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.
