When Bad Things Happen to Good People
Harold S. Kushner, 1957
GenevaBookClub: The book features Rabbi Kushner's perspective on how people can better deal with evil that enters their lives. Rarely does a book come along that tackles a perennially difficult human issue with such clarity and intelligence. Harold Kushner, a Jewish rabbi facing his own child's fatal illness, deftly guides us through the inadequacies of the traditional answers to the problem of evil, then provides a uniquely practical and compassionate answer that has appealed to millions of readers across all religious creeds. Remarkable for its intensely relevant real-life examples and its fluid prose, this book cannot go unread by anyone who has ever been troubled by the question: "Why me?"
