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 Often imitated but never superseded, When Bad Things Happen to Good People is a classic that offers clear thinking and consolation in times of sorrow.

5By Ghost297Fresh 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.
