Accidental Grace: Poetry, Prayers, and Psalms - Paperback

by Rami Shapiro (Author)

Spiritual teacher, writer, rabbi and poet, Rami Shapiro has taught thousands of people in workshops across North America for a quarter century. His books have sold in the hundreds of thousands. But before he did any of those things he was writing poems, prayers, and psalms that were anthologized in the Jewish siddurim of different denominations.

Now, those spiritual teachings have been gathered together, incorporating all of Rami's poetic work over the course of his long and varied career. The result is startling--as if we've discovered a new spiritual teacher of great importance, in verse.
