When Bad Things Happen to Good People

The #1 bestselling inspirational classic from the nationally known
spiritual leader; a source of solace and hope for over 4 million
readers. 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 Often imitated but never superseded, When Bad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.
