Bluebird Books for Life|When Bad Things Happen to Good People

People who pray for miracles usually don't get miracles, any more than children who pray for bicycles, good grades, or good boyfriends get the?n as a result of praying. But people who pray for courage, for strength to bear the unbearable, for the grace to remember what they have left instead of what they have lost, very often find their prayer answered.

Since its original publication, the bestselling When Bad Things Happen to Good People has brought solace and hope to millions. When Harold Kushner lost his son, 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. This is a classic that offers clear thinking and consolation in times of sorrow.
