"No human relationship is without betrayal, irritation and annoyance, but Kushner makes clear that it's what we do about such obstacles that matter." -Los Angeles Times Book Review "Compassionate and wise, Rabbi Kushner is a master of the story that heals." -Deborah Tannen, author of You're Wearing That?: Understanding Mothers and Daughters in Conversation "An articulate, no-nonsense treatise.... A readably inspirational homily leavened with subtle humor.... Kushner's book can serve to fortify us in times of loss and frustration." -The Jerusalem Report From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis
From Harold S. Kushner, the author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, a book that shows us how to be our best selves even when things don't turn out as we had hoped--that is, how we can overcome life's disappointments. Kushner turns to the experience of Moses to find the requisite lessons of strength and faith. Moses towers over all others in the Old Testament: he is the man on the mountaintop to whom God speaks with unparalleled intimacy, and he leads his people out of bondage. But he is also deeply human, someone whose soaring triumphs are offset by frustration and longing: his people ignore his teachings, he is denied entrance to the Promised Land, his family suffers. But he overcomes. Through the example of Moses' remarkable resilience, we learn how to weather the disillusionment of dreams unfulfilled, the pain of a lost job or promotion, a child's failures, divorce or abandonment, and illness. We learn how to meet all disappointments with faith in ourselves and the future, and how to respond to heartbreak with understanding rather than bitterness and despair. This is a book of spiritual wisdom--as practical as it is inspiring. From the Hardcover edition., Harold Kushner ("When Bad Things Happen to Good People") offers a new book that shows how to overcome the common difficulties of life by turning usefully to the life of Moses. Rabbi Kushner explains how to weather the disillusionment of dreams unfulfilled, the pain of being fired, and other disappointments in life.
