As a congregational rabbi for half a century and the bestselling author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, Harold S. Kushner has demonstrated time and again his understanding of the human spirit and how to apply the timeless wisdom of religious thought to everyday challenges. Reflecting here on a lifetime of service and on the world of today, Kushner relates how his time as a 21st-century rabbi has further shaped his sense of religion and morality. In such chapters as "Religion Is What You Do, Not What You Believe," and "Forgiveness Is a Favor You Do Yourself," Kushner offers lessons from the sum of his teaching, study, and experience, providing spiritual food for thought, pragmatic advice, inspiration for a more fulfilling life, and strength for trying times.
