Synopsis

One day, Israeli scientist and spiritual teacher, Michael Kagan, sat down to say his morning prayers. As he was about to take up his prayer book, he suddenly heard—"Are you ready?" Ready for what? he thought. "Ready to write," came the response. Somewhat bewildered, he argued that it wasn't appropriate now. But the voice insisted, "Write!" What could he do? He found a notebook and began to write. The words poured through him from a voice protesting our abuse of the planet and our fellow human beings. It carried a reproving message for the three children of Abraham—Jews, Christians and Muslims—and called upon these siblings of the same Divine Parent to stop their fighting and come together to fulfill their purpose on Earth as true partners in God's plan! Whose voice was it really? Who can say? But what is clear is this—its message is uncomfortably compelling, utterly necessary today, and as difficult to ignore as it is to hear. It's message has been supported by leaders among Jews, Christians, and Muslims, some of whom have written: "Listening deeply to the inner voice, Michael Kagan has placed himself in his own and other traditions; he has listened to the outcry of our Mother the Earth, and is sensitive to the voice of the feminine presence. He shares with us here a 'treasury debt' issued from the Divine Source." (Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, Founder of the Jewish Renewal Movement) "God's Prayer is a unique inter-faith challenge that befits a teacher who has lived what he preaches. ... Will we turn our backs on this challenge? You cannot read Michael's prayer of exhortation and walk away unmoved." (Reverend Richard Cizik, President of the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good) "Not everybody can write or translate what he has experienced, but Michael has succeeded in translating for us what came down upon him ... To Michael I say: be blessed for being this channel that is bringing forth this enlightened revelation, for being a vessel connecting us to the vertical plane that unites all of humankind." (Sheikh Ghassan Manasra, the Qadiri Sufi Order in Nazareth)
