When bad things happen to good people

In When Bad Things Happen to Good People, rabbi and spiritual leader Harold S. Kushner brings comfort and hope to all who have been devastated by irreparable loss and calls the reader to reflect on God's relationship with evil.

When American rabbi Harold S. Kushner saw his infant son diagnosed with a rare and fatal condition, he found himself questioning his own faith. How could the Almighty, such a just and loving being, allow evil to exist in the world and harm good-hearted individuals?

When Bad Things Happen to Good People exists as an attempt to understand how faith in God can coexist with the idea that He can do anything. If God is omnipotent, then do all the world's tragedies pass through His scrutiny? In this book, Kushner dedicates himself to redefining religion's role in guilt. He challenges the theory that people deserve the suffering they endure and also reformulates God's role in the face of human suffering.

This book is Kushner's gift to all who seek comfort in a moment of helplessness. *When Bad Things Happen to Good People* argues that it is possible, and advisable, to continue believing in God and His mercy even in the most difficult times.
