About this product

Product Information

"If there were a quick fix for our troubled globe, it would be the profoundly tolerant message, teeming with humanity, at the heart of this book." --Thomas Moore From the author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People comes an inspiring new bestseller that puts human feelings of guilt and inadequacy in perspective -- and teaches us how we can learn to accept ourselves and others even when we and they are less than perfect. How Good Do We Have to Be? is for everyone who experiences that sense of guilt and disappointment. Harold Kushner, writing with his customary generosity and wisdom, shows us how human life is too complex for anyone to live it without making mistakes, and why we need not fear the loss of God's love when we are less than perfect. Harold Kushner begins by offering a radically new interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve, which he sees as a tale of Paradise Outgrown rather than Paradise Lost: eating from the Tree of Knowledge was not an act of disobedience, but a brave step forward toward becoming human, complete with the richness of work, sexuality and child-rearing, and a sense of our mortality. Drawing on modern literature, psychology, theology,,and his own thirty years of experience as a congregational rabbi, Harold Kushner reveals how acceptance and forgiveness can change our relationships with the most important people in our lives and help us meet the bold and rewarding challenge of being human.

  • Adam and Eve for evolutionists

    Harold Kushner is a rabbi who has a different take on the garden of eden tale. Unlike the way it was explained to me in catholic school as a fall from grace,he casts Adam and Eve as leaving the animal ranks and becoming human with all the pan and triumph that entails. An easy read but very thought provoking.Recommended.

  • I am very pleased with my purchase!

    I wanted to purchase books for family members once I read it. It is great and I hope it helps them heal. I was very moved by it and let someone borrow mine, highlighting and all! This was a great price and the gook was great! Thank, K
