Summary

"I can't remember the last time I felt pulled to underline a book constantly as I was reading it, but Judaism Disrupted is exactly that intellectual, spiritual and personal adventure. You will find yourself nodding, wrestling, and hoping to hold on to so many of its ideas and challenges. Rabbi Strassfeld reframes a Torah that demands breakage, reimagination, and ownership. Not only did I learn so much from Strassfeld's 11 principles; I was changed by them."
 
—Abigail Pogrebin, author, My Jewish Year; 18 Holidays, One Wondering Jew
 
How do you hold on to faith in a modern world? Rabbi Michael Strassfeld digs deep into the Jewish tradition to help us get to the root of the matter: our need to create connection - to our past, to our present, to each other. To connect with the unity underlying the universe that draws us all together.
 
Judaism Disrupted is about the future of Judaism-starting now. Do the time-honored traditions of rabbinic Judaism meet our spiritual needs? Do we feel spiritually sated after a Shabbat service? Is there another way to be a Jew? It's time for a new Judaism.
 
Strassfeld outlines a path that leads to a new Judaism-a new framework with practices that you can start putting into use right away to live a life of meaning. Judaism Disrupted is Judaism revitalized.

    In Rediscovering Wisdom - The Forgotten Gift, Marius Botha (an experienced insurtech and financial services executive, as well as actuary and pastor in Johannesburg, South Africa)  highlights how mainstream Christian culture under-appreciates divinely inspired wisdom.  His book serves as a comprehensive Biblical guide that aims to enlighten and revive Christians on the various expressions of wisdom and how to live wisely.  He offers insight's on Jesus's embodiment of wisdom, the Holy Spirit gift of the word of wisdom and why its a critical ministry for churches, practical guidelines on how to make sound decisions when balancing the gift of faith and wisdom, and does a deep-dive into the manifestation of wisdom in the Old Testament and its relevance for discipleship today.  He interweaves personal testimonies from the business and church environments, as well as difficult seasons in his life, and challenges the reader to speak truth to power when confronted with foolishness.  He also challenges the reader to confront their own foolish ways, and pleads for a healthy recognition of the gift of wisdom alongside other ministry gifts.  He summarises protocols for ministering in the gift of the word of wisdom, why it needs to be done with Christlike love as guide, and how to restore redeemed decision-making through the power of the Holy Spirit.  He narrated the Audio-book version himself.

    John Piper Offers 6 Habits to Spur a Lifetime of Wisdom and Wonder for the Glory of Christ 
    Humans are hardwired to learn. We immerse ourselves in stories, observe the intricacies of the world, and seek educational opportunities. But lifelong learning is far more than acquiring information or completing a degree. It is a happy quest informing the habits of our minds and the affections of our hearts. And for the Christian, the goal is richer and deeper joy, to the glory of God and the eternal good of others.
    In Foundations for Lifelong Learning, longtime pastor John Piper casts Christian education as the process of growing in our ability to navigate God's word and world. Piper introduces readers to 6 vital habits—observe accurately, understand clearly, evaluate fairly, feel appropriately, apply wisely, and express compellingly. Ultimately readers will be encouraged to find Christ in and above all things—seriously and joyfully glorifying God, no matter their vocational calling. 
    
    - Appeals to Students and Educators: Explores 6 habits to inspire a lifetime of learning, wisdom, and wonder 
    - Offers a Biblical Perspective: Teaches how lifelong learning ultimately connect to God, his word, and our world 
    - Countercultural: Explains how one's vocation, degree, and monetary success are not always representations of quality lifelong learning 
    - Written by John Piper: Author of Don't Waste Your Life; Come, Lord Jesus; Desiring God; and Providence
