How do you encounter the mystery of the other? This is the central question at the heart of spiritual direction and central to the human quest.
Hineni--presence--is not an answer to the mystery but a response to the challenge. At a time when people on the edges of religion increasingly seek out spiritual direction as a way of confronting life's unanswerable questions,
hineni indicates a fundamental reality beyond labels. And in an age that seems to suffer from disconnection,
hineni indicates a way in.
A helpful resource for anyone interested in spirituality beyond easy answers or (in)convenient labels, Hineni: In Imitation of Abraham is a stark exploration of what it truly means to be present--to yourself, to the one before you, and to the one we call God.
