When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold S. Kushner

For Anyone Who Has Ever Been Hurt by Life

“I knew that one day I would write this book. I would write it out of my own need to put into words some of the most important things I have come to believe and know. And I would write it to help other people who might one day find themselves in a similar predicament. I would write it for all those people who wanted to go on believing, but whose anger at God made it hard for them to hold on to their faith and be comforted by religion. And I would write for all those people whose love of God and devotion to Him led them to blame themselves for their suffering and persuade themselves that they deserved it.” --Harold S. Kushner

“This is a book that all humanity needs. It will help one to understand the painful vicissitudes of this life and stand up to them creatively” --Norman Vincent Peale.

“When Bad Things Happen to Good People offers a moving and humane approach to understanding life’s windstorms. It raises many questions that will challenge your mind and test your faith regarding the ultimate questions of life and death.” –Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

“Almost every great novelist has dealt with the theme of inexplicable illness… Harold Kushner deals with this question with deep insight and provides invaluable reassurance.” –Norman Cousins

“A touching, heart-warming book for all those of us who must contend with suffering, and that, of course, is all of us.” –Andrew M. Greeley
