Excellent exposition.:
This book is an excellent exposition of the jewish beliefs system from the perspective of a prolific conservative rabbi. Some of his viewpoints will, of course, be debated by orthodox rabbis, but in general, his down to earth approach to the more difficult ideas make this book a most for all avid readers of religious jewish and christian books.
Great Introduction to Judaism:
I had read two dozen intro-to-Judaism books, but found Rabbi Kushner's explanations to be comprehensive, accessible, profound, and quite moving. He provides a great overview in the broadest sense of the word - instead of focussing on the details of Jewish history, ritual, practice, prayer, or belief, he does a superb job of summarizing or encapsulating the underlying attitudes, assumptions, values, and "whys" of Judaism. "To Life" is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to know what Judaism is *about*,... more info A must read:
This is an amazing book by an amazing man. It's valuable for Jews and people who want to know about Jews as well. Additionally there is a good section in the book about Jews and Christians and why we ought to get along. It's the kind of book that makes you feel good after you read it. Down to the point.:
I was born to catholic parents, later in my teens became a methodist, about two years now I've been doing a lot of reading about judaism.
