Rabbi David A. Cooper has written book for the newly interested in Kabbalah, or those like me who has studied it for years. This is a remarkable explaination of one of the oldest spiritual philosophies placed into a modern perspective. May Sinclair, Author, Infamous Eve, A History

Absolutely a wonderful read. It was exactly what I was looking for as a sort of practical introduction to Jewish mysicism. In my case there was a decent level of Jewish background understanding and a lot of prior reading and formal philosophical study including Taoism, Buddhism, Christian mysticism, as well as many years of yoga and meditational practice.

I still find the approach to meditation through hatha yoga approach to be the most useful, but as a Jew it was great to build this familiarity with the traditional Jewish side to mysticism.

Rabbi David A. Cooper's, 'God Is A Verb' succeeds in being both a highly accessible primer for those uninitated into the kabbalistic mysteries while at the same time containing enough depth of material to attract the attention of the well-trained practitioner.

This 333 page paperback takes the reader on a wonderful mythic journey through 3,000 years of haggadic tales and imagery. The mystical understanding you will glean from these ancient myths and legends of the Jewish faith will become the essential building blocks to your mystical understanding of the cosmos. Come climb the 'Tree of Life', the adventure awaits!

A must read for the novice mystic and a valuable refresher course for the adept.

Highly Recommended!

I always hoped that my personal experience of mysticism might be part of my Jewish tradition. David Cooper's book has assured me I am on track. I am delighted with its clarity, wisdom, practicality and authenticity. For me, it's water in a desert.
I don't think I need another book on Kabbalah. This will last me for the remainder of my life.

I have been a student of the Kabbalah for the past 12 years. Rabbi David A. Cooper's Book is a great light in the sea of confusion which the study of Kabbalah can bring. It allows for the seeker to find understanding with out the costly classes which some perscribe. The book allows one to gain a deep understanding into the Kabbalah on a personal level and clears much of the haze which a paradoxical system can cause.

Rabbi Cooper has written a wonderful---and very useful---book. His explanations are clear and the meditative exercises are great. Read it and it just might change your life!

Rabbi Cooper's book is the finest intro book on Kabbalah I've read. This book is not for those interested in an indepth understanding of theoretical, speculative Kabbalah. However, most people get so bogged down in theory that 10 years and 20 books later they still have no real idea WHAT Kabbalism means or how to apply it. So if you want to actually learn how to APPLY Kabbalah in your daily life, and not just learn to spout strings of esoteric jargon, buy THIS book.

Although much of what is written here went over my head, I was able to glean a lot of answers to questions I have had for many years. I have never been able to see God as some amorphic humanoid blob living in some altered universe, but I am able to see God as a power, or energy as described by the Rabbi. I found I had to read several paragraphs over to catch their meaning, but once I understood, it was as if a puzzle had been solved. If you are looking for a sensible explanation of "God" without all the kiddy stories and gobbly guk, this will be a great read. Not for the narrow minded or fundamentalist though.
