This book answered all my questions

Howard kushner is wise kind and dead on. I am grateful for this book. If you are trying to accept the existence of a higher power in a world where bad things happen to good people, read this book. It is not dated. Still absolutely relevant. Thank you.

a wonderful outlook on life and loss

after the loss of our child our priest suggested this book took me 5; years to get to read it but it's great spiritual guidance is enlightening.

Definitely helpful

I am a Congregationalist, but have strong connections with the Jewish faith, so this was a lovely convergence of the two, for me. Being 30 years old and diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer 4 years ago, I have struggled with my “surviving … for now” stage. Rabbi Kushner’s words, allegories, and personal stories have helped me shift my perspective a little. Enough to help. I will definitely be rereading. Give it a shot. If nothing else, it might give you a better perspective of someone else’s struggles.

It

As wonderful now as the first time I read the book, 25 years ago. I have changed, the book’s message remains relevant.

I was very frustrated that the volume level could not be raised. Could not listen in my car. What happened in the recording?

God’s love

We are all flawed — but we should have grace & realize that bad things happen to everyone— it’s not conditional on whether or not we are righteous, good people.
