PETER HIMMELMAN / Suspended by No String: A Songwriter's Reflections on Faith, Aliveness, and Wonder

A thought-provoking collection of spiritual reflections echoing the lyricism of Leonard Cohen and the uplifting messages of Anne Lamott.
This is a book for readers of all spiritual stripes:those who are consistently devout, those who aren’t sure what to believe, and those who may not be religious in the traditional sense, but who nevertheless want to view the world as something other than a place of randomness, and build a relationship with a force infinitely beyond themselves. The creative mind of Peter Himmelman is illuminated through the lens of his philosophical and existential reflections in this fascinating blend of memoir, personal journal and self-help inquiry.
“In a time of relentless information, it feels like we’ve lost the ability to appreciate the mystical. In
Suspended by No String, Peter Himmelman shows us how to recapture the mystic in a tangible way.
By putting hand to musical instrument, pen to paper, and thought to action, we can become a little bit
holy.” —Sherman Alexie, poet, bestselling author
“Peter Himmelman is one of the most talented, smartest, coolest cats I know (or “Katz” – depending on where you grew up.) The breadth of his knowledge, interests and curiosity is remarkable, and here he has tapped it all to concoct this delicious, fun-to-read, inspiring, spiritual soup. Grab a spoon and dive in. I promise you, only good will come from reading this.” —Paul Riser, Comedian, actor, and author
