Summary: Great ideas and I love the intentions but
Comment: ....However, difficult it could be to change the world we are living in to a better one as the book suggests, it is not just a challenge, but a must try.
I have a feeling though that Michael is not trying to reach the general population but is aiming at the intellectual world. His writing, although very high level, seems to be quite challenging for people of a lesser education or younger age.
If we already know that it'll take years to incorporate this new way of living, maybe we should also include a younger audience.
Aren't the children of today, the leaders of tomorrow?

Summary: Wonderful Book About an Idea Whose Time Has Come
Comment: Rabbi Dr. Lerner has written a wonderful book about an idea whose time has come. If the media and politicians would act upon these ideas, our national life would benefit immeasurably. Rancor and discord would be replaced by harmony and dialogue. Senator Hilary Clinton embraced this book, and her espousal of its ideas no doubt helped her win election as our junior senator from New York.
Dr. Lerner is in the forefront of Jewish thought today. He seeks to engage the culture at large in a way that is beneficial for Jews and Gentiles alike. His efforts in this book and elsewhere are to be applauded.

Summary: Refreshing challenges
Comment: People either like or dislike Rabbi Lerner, who makes no secret about being a liberal, progressive Jew. And whose congregation in San Francisco reflects the wonderful diversity of the city.
What I like about his writings is his ability to challenge people. To ask people to get out of their comfort and safe zones be it home, work, community and simply see all of Gods creation and realize that we are all flawed and in need of care, compassion and dignity. That one persons transgressions (I dislike the term sin) are no worse than another's. That any inhumane treatment of another is wrong.
Personally I would hope and pray that more religious leaders would embrace the compassion Rabbi Lerner has and cast off the fear, loathing and outright hatred of anyone that doesn't agree with them
