How to Be a Holy Rascal

A Magical Mystery Tour to Liberate Your Deepest Wisdom, Access Radical Compassion, and Set Yourself Free

By: Rabbi Rami Shapiro

Narrated by: Rabbi Rami Shapiro

God is real. Everything we say about God is made up. How to Be a Holy Rascal is a rousing guide for the spiritual adventurer ready to go beyond "isms" and ideologies and live in the world as a liberating force of compassion, joy, justice, and love.

Navigating the Five Existential Questions Everyone Asks

Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? How should I live? And why? The world's religions have all sought to tackle these perennial questions for us - but what happens when their answers no longer work for you? The path of the holy rascal is one of committed yet playful inquiry into the ineffable mysteries of our existence. Through the course of eight illuminating, entertaining, and provocative audio sessions with Rabbi Rami Shapiro, you will meet some of history's original holy rascals, including Jesus; Mohammed; Buddha; Rabbi Hillel; Sister José Hobday; Krishnamurti; Dorothy's dog, Toto; and others, reexamine the mythic dimensions of the religious stories we grew up with, test-drive the holistic spiritual practices of the holy rascal, and much more.

"The most important goal of this program is to inspire you to find your own way of being a holy rascal - so you can live in harmony with whatever is happening both within and without," explains Rabbi Rami. With How to Be a Holy Rascal, now you can begin blazing your own trail of transformation as you do your part to set humanity free.

LIFE CHANGING

I am a young woman who has struggled with religion and spirituality since I understood the concepts of these two things. I grew up southern baptist, but never felt like that was who I was as a person. I felt that all of my religious views were chosen for me at a young age. I am finally able and curious to dive into myself now and choose for myself, and this book changed my life. I related more to this book than any sermon I’ve ever listened to. I am excited to begin my Holy Rascal adventure and to share these ideas and compassion with my future children.

Fantastic!

One of the best books on spirituality (or should I say religion) I've ever read!

Encouraging!!

Loved it!!!!! So very encouraging! Looking forward to reading more from Rabbi Rami!!! Highly recommend!

Life changing truth you already know (and don’)

This will help any spiritual wanderer in their journey for perennial wisdom. Rabbi rami uses humor and kindness to gently nudge the reader to expand their views of the divine and self. He does not encourage leaving ones faith behind, instead he beautifully encourages the reader to draw from their experiences as a foundation that they can build on towards a more loving, compassionate, and kind way of life towards others and ourself.
I can’t recommend this book enough.

Fun

Funny informative inspirational. I’m what I call a progressive Christian and I loved what this rabbi has to say about spirituality
