 le\nSunday\, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM\, January 21st\, 2018\nMichael Gellert's ne
 w book tells the story of the Abrahamic God from a viewpoint that is imagi

 is a journey from affliction to redemption\, from trauma to enlightenment.
  Spanning from the scriptures of Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam to the
 ir later mystical teachings\, the book explains many of the Hebrew Bible's
  darker moments yet concludes on the same joyful note as his journey\, nam
