“The most
recent, and arguably one of art’s most complete and compelling integrations of
the sacred and profane. Mel Alexenberg
shows the way to the divine via digital imagery and heightened perception of
its presence in the moving face of every person, place, and thing. The book is
packed with wisdom and learning about Talmudic tradition, creative expression,
and cyberangels. It reads like a swift and soulful breeze. I love every “byte”
of it.” - Dr. Shaun McNiff, author of Earth Angels: Engaging the Sacred
in Everyday Things and Imagination in Action: Secrets for Unleashing
Creative Expression; university professor of Lesley University, Cambridge,
Massachusetts
“If a
picture is worth a thousand words, Through a Bible Lens offers a
template, a guidebook on how to experience innumerable images of the Divine in
every moment and use blogging technology to disseminate them worldwide.
Professor Mel Alexenberg invites us to share the story of our own Divine
journey through the wisdom found in this unique book.” - Bishop Robert
Stearns, Executive Director, Eagles’ Wings, New York
“The book's
wonderful synthesis between spirituality and technology, heaven and earth, is
exciting and thought-provoking. It is a practical demonstration of Solomon's
wisdom: "Acknowledge God in all your paths." Alexenberg's affirmation of the spiritual
potential of the Internet, blogging, photography, new technologies and social
media, brings to mind the dictum of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, the first Chief
Rabbi of pre-state Israel: "The old will be renewed, and the new will be
sanctified." - Rabbi
Chanan Morrison, author of Sapphire from the Land of Israel
Photo above is one of the 50 photos in Through a Bible Lens. The author's grandson Or Alexenberg photographed his brother Razel catching the Sea of Galilee in his hand. It is believed that Miriam's well that sustained the people of Israel in the desert on their exodus from Egypt came to rest after her death beneath the Sea of Galilee.
