Description

#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 Often imitated but never superseded, When Bad Things Happen to Good People is a classic that offers clear thinking and consolation in times of sorrow.

    The author does an incredible job sharing his thoughts and ideas. Initially, I read Conquering Fears and it was so well written I found this book. I am starting Overcoming Life's Disappointments. Outstanding scholar.

    Fresh from the scar of my yonger brothers death who was killed just fortnight back in an road accident. It was and is a very traumatic experience , to get myself out of the anger and anguish I took to this book. It was a real comfort and I felt someone journeying with me in my hard hours. The book was very well structured and there couldn't have been a better way to end where a sufferer forgives God . I could moist my eyes with Kushner for feeling his pain as well and felt that united in our tragedies.
