Reviews
Philosophy and Religion Editor's Recommended Book
Rarely does a book come along that tackles a perennially difficult human issue with such clarity and intelligence. Harold Kushner, a Jewish rabbi, 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?"

From Booklist
Kushner, best known for his best-selling When Bad Things Happen to Good People, here deals with an equally vexing topic, overcoming shame and guilt. As in his other books, Rabbi Kushner turns to the Bible to find answers to hard questions, and when it comes to guilt and shame, there is no better place to start than at the beginning, with the story of Adam and Eve. Always thought provoking and people centered. Kushner is clearly writing to bring comfort and to show his audience how to find forgiveness in their own lives, whether that forgiveness is directed toward others or oneself. This is one psychological self-help book that deserves the popularity it is likely to achieve.

Larry Whittington, Atlanta, Georgia
Rabbi Kushner does an excellent job of putting a new light on life at 50. Male or female, Jew or Christian, or anything else, the insights offered here apply to us all. We all were taught. We all learned. This book evaluates what we came away with.
