Bible Dreams is the how-to book that describes how the Bible can be applicable for everyone.

• How the dreams in the Bible can shape our destinies.

• How Abraham's mid-life crisis can help us through our own.

• How Jacob's trials of estrangement, death, and divorce can help us bear our own separations.

• How we can recapture and apply Joseph’s gifts for vision and prophecy.

• How we can find the potential for healing and transformation in the dreams of  Samuel and Solomon.

From the sages of old to the "Holodeck" of "Star Trek," from the visions of Elijah to the dreams of Einstein, from the ancient biblical landscape to the personal landscape of our night visions, from the technology of the ancient Greeks to the REM-sleep laboratory--Bible Dreams offers a tour de force for the modern imagination.

Using insights from anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, physics, and dream research, Bible Dreams bespeaks a practical spirituality that all of us can share.

In the foreword, Eugene J. Fisher (Associate Director, Secretariat for Ecumenical and Inter-religious Relations) of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, comments:

Seymour Rossel is on to something of great importance here, both for the field of biblical scholarship and, I believe, for the spiritual life of anyone, Christian or Jew, who believes the Bible to be a sacred text...

This is not "grocery store spirituality" or "new age mysticism"... This is the real stuff. Here, the Bible itself speaks to each of us in a way most readers will have never been aware it could...
