From the author of the international bestseller WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE, comes a profound and practical book about doing well by doing good.In this inspiring, uplifting and timely book, Harold Kushner addresses our craving for significance, the need to know that our lives and choices mean something. We sometimes confuse power, wealth and fame with true achievement. We can do great things, and occasionally terrible things, to reassure ourselves that we matter to the world. We need to think of ourselves as good people and are troubled when we compromise our integrity to be successful and important.Rabbi Kushner suggests that the path to a truly successful and significant life lies in friendship, family, acts of generosity and self-sacrifice, as well as in God's forgiving nature. He describes how, in changing the life of even one person in a positive way, we make a difference in the world, give our lives meaning, and prove that we do, in fact, matter.

Living a Life That Matters : Resolving the Conflict Between Conscience and Success

<p>There is only one question which really matters: why do bad things happen to good people? "Out of a faith-shaking and senseless waste of a life comes this remarkable and caring book, which will help many. It has sensible and unorthodox and mind-opening things to say about God - and about ourselves. Its author has wisdom and no bitterness. We can learn from him, about acceptance and guilt and despair and the helplessness we all feel when 'none of it makes sense' when we say 'why them?' or worse 'why us?'. We owe him our thanks" - David Kossoff. "Rabbi Kushner writes from a wealth of Jewish wisdom and pastoral devotion, but his theology is, I find, is wholly in keeping with contemporary Christian thought. So far as there is an answer to the conflict between the goodness of God and the bitterness of suffering, this is it" - Gerald Priestland. "It will bring new meaning, strength and hope to many" - Dame Cicely Saunders, DBE, FRCP.</p>

When Bad Things Happen to Good People (Pan Self-discovery Series)

History

Science is powerless to answer the most important question of all: Is the universe a friendly place, supportive of human hopes? The 23rd Psalm, with its image of the Lord as our shepherd, responds to that concern. It gives an answer, not in theological language, but in well chosen images, and we respond to its optimism as much as to the beauty of its language. It comforts but its message goes well beyond comfort. It teaches us to look at the world we live in clearly, without illusions. The world may be a frightening place but it becomes less frightening when we know that God is there with us. At time of deep confusion, fear and war, this meditation brings hope and Rabbi Kushner weaves his own magic to interpret this Psalm for a new generation.
