“Rami Shapiro gets the real secret of religions: at their very heart, the best of them are meant to free us from dogma itself. Here are some great ways of thinking hard, laughing loud, and breaking free that should make any reader—naïve believer or cynical outsider—into a spiritual revolutionary.”

“Why did Bodhidharma come from the West? To borrow my copy of this book.”

“Wake up! Buckle your seat belt. Be prepared for a raucous ride into the future. With his wit, creative use of language, and a twinkle in his eyes, Rabbi Rami gives name and voice to a movement that has been brewing for a long time. Holy Rascals delights and challenges us to open our thinking while we laugh at our own foolishness and gain wisdom in the process. This reverent/irreverent book is filled with practices and memorable stories that support those of us who know we are subversive holy rascals as well as those who will recognize that they too are a member of this tribe. Highly recommended!”
