About this product

Product Information

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The inspirational classic from a renowned spiritual leader that "offers a moving and humane approach to understanding life's windstorms" (Elisabeth Kübler-Ross). When Harold Kushner's three-year-old son was diagnosed with a degenerative disease that meant the boy would only live until his early teens, he was faced with one of life's most difficult questions: Why, God? Years later, Rabbi Kushner wrote this straightforward, elegant contemplation of the doubts and fears that arise when tragedy strikes. In these pages, Kushner shares his wisdom as a rabbi, a parent, a reader, and a human being. Often imitated but never superseded, When Bad Things Happen to Good Peopl e is a classic that offers clear thinking and consolation in times of sorrow.

Explaining why we are free agents
The book left others to understand on their own terms why bad things occur in the world, to seemingly otherwise religious and good people. It doesn't defend G-d, but does help one to see that good and evil have been prevalent since the dawn of time. Our behavior and response to these occurrences is the only thing that we can truly control.

A new way to look at the problem
Rabbi Kushner tackles a question that has been asked for years. He offers compelling arguments that offer new ways of viewing the problem and how one’s faith in God can serve as a means of dealing with trouble that you encounter in life.

Perfect reading if someone you love has died.
Rabbi Kushner is a wonderful author with charm and a sense of humor. He reminds us that focusing on the good in life and God is more productive and will assist us in our times of trial and help us overcome all challenges and obstacles. This book is hard to put down. Kushner references his own life experiences and personal questions about God. This book was given to be after the sudden death of my husband 3 years ago from a brain aneurysm and it helped me tremendously.
