Where Is God When You Need Him Most?Every day we see evidence of innocent people suffering from catastrophe and cruelty, and yet we can't understand or make sense of the question "why?" If there is a just and all powerful God, then why do bad things happen to good people?
Based on the nationally acclaimed bestseller, this program features the distinguished Rabbi Harold S. Kushner in a touching, heart-warming conversation. Inspired by the death of his 14-year-old son and his family's shared ordeal, Rabbi Kushner tells how to deal spiritually with an unfair loss or tragedy. He gives us wise and compassionate advice on how we can cope, what we should do about our anger and how we can keep from feeling guilty that we are the cause of bad things that happen. On this cassette Rabbi Kushner reaches out to people of all faiths as he offers a message of love and peace.
Rarely does a book come along that tackles a perennially difficult human issue with such clarity and intelligence. Harold Kushner, a Jewish rabbi facing his own child's fatal illness, deftly guides us through the inadequacies of the traditional answers to the problem of evil, then provides a uniquely practical and compassionate answer that has appealed to millions of readers across all religious creeds. Remarkable for its intensely relevant real-life examples and its fluid prose, this book cannot go unread by anyone who has ever been troubled by the question, "Why me?"

Thus, while he apparently believes the Bible's references to God's goodness, he totally discounts the manifold references to God's awesome power and might. For myself, I understand that an... more info
Great transaction:
This was a wonderful transaction. The book was in better condition than stated and the shipping was quick. He says God can't...but God can!:
This was a book I got my husband Tim after his son was killed. I just thought it would be a good book but it goes to show you that you "Can't Judge a Book by looking at the Cover." Tim opened the book and read the chapters, and one was called " God Can't do Everything." And another, "Sometimes there is no reason." This is about the worst selection you could ever get for someone who is greiving. Why? Because God can do everything and anything, and this Rabbi doesn't know that. What a shame.
