Summary: INSPIRING!!! EYE-OPENING!!! INSIGHTFUL!!!
Comment: I just finished reading this book by Rabbi Kushner. It was an easy book to read and understand. I recently experienced the loss of my beloved brother. He was 36 years old and a murder victim. I am a practicing Catholic and I never questioned God. However, I found myself wondering why this had to happen to us. My brother was just an innocent bystander. A victim of being at that wrong place at the wrong time. Rabbi Kushner's book opened my eyes. His book offered me comfort and let me understand my faith a little better.
I highly recommend this book to all who question God. If you find yourself asking, "How could there be a God when bad things happen to good people?" get this book ASAP!! Rabbi Kushner offers a logical and intelligent answer to this question. He makes sense. If you think you are not a religious person this book will change that.
I am passing this book onto my mother. I know this will bring her comfort.
Thank you Rabbi Kushner for this wonderful insightful book. It has helped me with my grieving!
GOD BLESS YOU!!

Summary: A promising premise, but a disappointing outcome.
Comment: I have read other books by Kushner and I admire him as a caring pastor and knowledgeable theologian. I was intrigued by this title and hoped to gain some valuable insight from the book, some lesson I could walk away with, feeling better equipped to deal with the danger and seeming unfairness that is so much a part of life today. Kushner asks all the "right" questions, the questions that most people, worried, frightened, and in highly stressful situations would demand answers to. But his position, that ill befalls people simply out of bad luck, of "being in the wrong place at the wrong time," falls short of satisfying. And his contention that God is powerless to intervene in the acts of evil perpetrated by some of His children is disheartening, to say the least.
The book does reassure that God is always there to provide comfort and strength, but this part of the message is outweighed by the unsettling notion of God's impotence against much of what causes our suffering today.

Summary: A sincere and thoughtful book
Comment: I must admit, I have not read this book yet, but aim to do so. I heard Mr. Kushner speak about his book on the God Squad and the message of his book .I found it extremely sincere and thoughtful. I think this book would put many people at rest with some of their un-answered question.
