Publisher Description
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

This book brings me peace I have been angry lately at my priests for ignoring my pain these last months by not visiting to see how we are coping and it made me very sad to feel like this. I blamed god and felt guilty and thought he was keeping them away. I now realise they stayed away for their own reasons and do not blame god. I now accept god did not take my child I now realise we have to make choices and god does not influence our choices as he gave us the brain to make our own whether good or bad and we must live with the consequences. Thank you so much for the hope this book gave me back.
