God Hold Me

About the Book

God Hold Me is the story of a personal healing, born of the courage to embrace one’s own deepest fears. Raised as a secular Jew, Joshua Chasan grew from being unable to relate to traditional religion to depending upon a personal relationship with the spiritual source of his being. His story is not for Jews only but for all who seek integrity in their personal identity. God Hold Me is both a narrative of a spiritual journey and a source book of short poetic meditations that offer help in the personal struggle for integrity which is a hallmark of our time. These spiritual exercises, which appear in sans-serif type, were developed by Rabbi Joshua over the years of his own seeking, and he has taught them over the course of the past twenty years.
