Synopsis

Co-author of A New Setting of Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, Brian J. Shircliff takes us on a journey into the first strand of the Bible — buried under at least two later writers’ work in Genesis. Scholars call this first strand, this 3000-year-old first storyteller of the Bible, “J.” 
What “J” offers in her stories gives birth not only to incredibly strange characters and plots with wild twists-and-turns but three religious traditions . . . Judaism, Christianity, and Islam . . . the nonviolence of Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and all who practice clever nonviolence . . . and neuroplasticity (our brain’s ability to change very quickly through gentle surprise & mindful movement) through Feldenkrais Method® and Movement Intelligence®.
“ Brian Shircliff is a hands-on guy who connects people in a generous vision that is larger than ourselves. That vision is grounded in a theological sensibility, rooted in tradition and alive in the world. This book bears witness to his wisdom, his passion, and his generative imagination.”
 Dr. Walter Brueggemann Columbia Theological Seminary
