When Bad Things Happen to Good People Then Where Is God
Finally something that pricks my heart
Has been one year since my four-year-old passed away. I have attempted to seek out religious instruction from members and leaders of my own faith (I am not Jewish). Looking back at the challenges I have had to go through in the past tear I should've read this book 1st. I shouldn't have attempted to answer the question why so quickly. Instead I should of been looking for the answer to the question what now. Thank you for your insight and God bless

A profound and honest book about the power and limitations of god
In my eyes, this book is a deeply religious book, but also a religion agnostic book. If you believe a god (any god) exists, but life or circumstances make it hard to believe in his goodness. If you are part of a tragedy, if you believe the world is unfair because of it, this will book will offer you an answer, a response as Mister Kushner eloquently phrases. It is the power of love, the power of human goodness and its humanity that will bring you relief. I just finished this book and i feel that it has planted a new perspective on life and the world around me that can only be recognized by someone who has seen suffering, loss and pain, and I know that this idea will take root, until it fills my heart with love.

Enlightened
As someone who lost her son to suicide., I have not had the best relationship with God or my faith. Harold Kushner opened my eyes and heart to a new perception of God, Life and Universe. I will be forever broken, but I feel I have begun to feel a strength I hadn't felt before. I am grateful for his words and Love of God.

Changed my life
This book changed my life and it will change yours as well. Our world is full of pain and full of people who don't know how to cope with such pain. Rabbi Kushner explains the limitations of our understanding while also giving us tools to help cope with painful tragedies that befall many people. This book is one written from the heart and its one I will cherish for a long time to come.

A spring of fresh water amidst the desert of uncertainty
I recommend this book to everyone who is engaged in the mother of all battles: the battle to keep your faith in God. I am Christian but I found Kushner's argument consistent with my views on God and Jesus Christ. I find that his take on God, life, and the issue of bad things happening out of nowhere is one that is helping me by opening my eyes to a more spiritual view of God. A view that is consistent with God's infinite love, his gift of free will, and the nature of the world he allowed us to live when Adan and Eve made the wrong move. If you are struggling with faith because you are witnessing something bad happening to someone good or loved one, if you find yourself in fear and terror because that uncertainty that seems to disrespect righteousness; then this book will help you. May God bless you with his presence, peace, and faith.

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.
