"Mark and Renee lead you into an encounter with that mysterious side that reaches out beyond words. They lead you toward a discovery that those whispers of the sacred in the best of the old folktales and rabbinic literature are also found in the shape of our own personal stories. In the generous space that Mark and Renee create, we learn of all the many ways--sad, beautiful, humorous--that God finds us in our lives." - Jay, Vancouver Theological Seminary student
