The Loretta Brown Show - 08 - 05 - 21 - Radical Loving

Alternative Talk- 1150AM KKNW

In the challenging times we live in today, there is an ominous sense that the world is breaking apart. Long-held comfortable beliefs are being shattered, and we face unprecedented questions and challenges. Radical Loving: One God, One World, One People, by Rabbi Wayne Dosick, PhD, DD, is a compelling appraisal of the state of our present-day world and a bold, visionary, spirit-filled blueprint for its transformation and evolution through Radical Loving and Awesome Holiness. With the fervent urgency of a biblical prophet, Rabbi Dosick asks, “How do we heal the harsh divisions of class, race, religion, and cultures that plague us? How do we vanquish sexism, rigid fundamentalism, unabashed nationalism, senseless hatred, and violent terrorism? How do we save our precious planet from the threats to its very existence? How do we restore civility, decency, grace, and dignity to our lives?” In this, his latest book, we are joyfully reminded that—as children of the universe, children of God—there is much more that unites us than divides us. We hear the Divine Voice calling to us to transcend our darkest impulses, to elevate our human spirit, to make acts of righteousness, goodness, compassion, kindness, and generosity our guiding principles and our highest good. We are given a wide array of practical, everyday ways to implement the book’s ideas and proposals in order to both enrich and ennoble our own lives and advance our communal quest. We are guided to see the Face of God—the reflection of the greatest love, eternal love—in ourselves and in each other. With age-old wisdom wrapped in contemporary garb, the Rabbi’s sweet, inspiring stories, keen insights, and gentle guidance are calls to a renewal of our emerging new world of Oneness, a promise that Earth can be Eden once again. RABBI WAYNE DOSICK, Ph.D., D.D., teaches and counsels about faith, ethical values, life transformations, and evolving human consciousness.

The recipient of honorary Doctor of Divinity degrees from both the Hebrew Union College and the Jewish Theological Seminary, he has been called a “rational intellect with the soul of a mystic, a “prophet for modern times,” and a “gentle master of the human heart.” Described as “one of the most gifted teachers of our generation, who understands the mindset, needs, and yearnings of people, and responds to this intellectual and inner searching in peerless fashion,” Rabbi Dosick has been proclaimed “a spiritual master of our time.” With his wife, Ellen Kaufman Dosick, MSW, he resides in San Diego, where their home is celebrated as a center of prayer, learning, healing, and a gathering place for spiritual seekers.
