Story
Harold S. 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.

Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross created her classic seminal work, On Death and Dying, to offer us a new perspective on the terminally ill. It is not a psychoanalytic study, nor is it a "how-to" manual for managing death. Rather, it refocuses on the patient as a human being and a teacher, in the hope that we will learn from him or her about the final stages of life.

Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. Neurosurgeon Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress. Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back. Alexander’s recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere.

Every one of us sooner or later walks through hell. The hell of being hurt, the hell of hurting another. The hell of cancer, the hell of a reluctant, thunking shovel full of earth upon the casket of someone we deeply loved, the hell of betrayal, the hell of betraying, the hell of divorce, the hell of a kid in trouble...the hell of knowing that this year, like any year, may be our last. We all walk through hell. The point is not to come out empty-handed.... There is real and profound power in the suffering we endure if we transform that suffering into a more authentic, meaningful life.

Bonds That Make Us Free is a groundbreaking book that suggests the remedy for our troubling emotions by addressing their root causes. You'll learn how, in ways we scarcely suspect, we are responsible for feelings like anger, envy, and insecurity that we have blamed on others. Even though we fear to admit this, it is good news. If we produce these emotions, it falls within our power to stop them. But we have to understand our part in them far better than we do, and that is what this remarkable book teaches.

The need for change as we get older - an emotional pressure for one phase of our lives to transition into another - is a human phenomenon, neither male nor female. There simply comes a time in our lives - not fundamentally different from the way puberty separates childhood from adulthood - when it's time for one part of ourselves to die and for something new to be born.

Story
In each of our lives we are faced with events that seem inexplicable, unjust, even cruel - events that can shatter our perception of the world, our understanding of ourselves, and our faith in a higher power. Friends and family members often offer comfort with "Everything happens for a reason" - a simple, common phrase with an unbearably elusive meaning. In Everything Happens for a Reason, psychotherapist Mira Kirshenbaum helps us understand the principles behind this frequently used phrase and provides us with tools to grasp its true meaning.

When we rewind history to Abraham's era, we encounter people who concocted false superstitions to explain the unexplainable. Powerful kings claimed to be gods, building massive pyramids in an attempt to achieve immortality. Out of this mass of misunderstandings, this collage of confusion, one man emerged. Why, thousands of years later, are we still discussing the faith of this desert nomad? Chuck Swindoll answers that question and many more in this compelling and insightful biography that will inspire your own faith.

The Ten Commandments are the first direct communication between a people and God. Designed to elevate our lives above mere frantic, animal existence to the sublime levels humanity is capable of experiencing, they are the blueprint of God's expectations of us and his plan for a meaningful, just, loving, and holy life. Each commandment asserts a principle, and each principle is a moral focus point for real-life issues relating to God, family, sex, work, charity, property, speech, and thought.

Harold S. 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.

In leadership as in life, only practice makes perfect. Habits are powerful. They can lock us into negative behaviors (like snacking and smoking) or train us to act automatically in ways that benefit us (such as putting on a seat belt). Routines quietly undergird large portions of what we do and how we function. Habit formation can speed success in the workplace as well - even in complex areas like leadership. The Leader Habit spotlights 22 essential leadership abilities, breaking them down into a series of small, learnable behaviors.

The Future We Choose presents our options and tells us what governments, corporations, and each of us can, and must, do to fend off disaster.

Definitely helpful
I am a Congregationalist, but have strong connections with the Jewish faith, so this was a lovely convergence of the two, for me. Being 30 years old and diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer 4 years ago, I have struggled with my “surviving … for now” stage. Rabbi Kushner’s words, allegories, and personal stories have helped me shift my perspective a little. Enough to help. I will definitely be rereading. Give it a shot. If nothing else, it might give you a better perspective of someone else’s struggles.

Very affirming to what I believe
I had heard of this book years ago and always wanted to read it, but didn't need it until I lost my 26 year year old son to a sudden and traumatic accident. Then there were so many questions as to why this happened. So many people would recite the platitudes that 'God needed him more than we did', 'God had a reason for this', "he's so much happier now and in a better place''. Which infuriated me because he was happier when his accident happened that he might have ever been in his life! He had a great job that he was flourishing in since he had struggled to find what he wanted to do, he had just bought a house and hadn't even made a house payment yet, he had a wonderful girlfriend, soon to be engaged. He was happy and healthy, not suffering when a horrible freak accident happened. I don't believe God caused this, or wanted him in heaven. An accident happened and God was there to scoop him up and take him to heaven. This book affirms my beliefs and I found it very comforting. All things don't happen for a reason, and unfortunately Bad Things do Happen to Good People. God didn't NEED him, but he has him, and we are sad, will always be sad and will always miss him. Losing him is grief beyond measure. I highly recommend this book for anyone wondering 'Why'?

Inspiring testimony of hope and faith in a kind and loving God
Rabbi Kushner gives a sincere and genuine account of his personal relationship with a God who is powerful, compassionate and loving. He uses the Book of Jobe to help describe a glorious God who cannot shield us completely from the effects of all evil and cannot rid us entirely of the consequences of tragic events. He introduces us to a God who is worth believing in and one worthy of our praise, our faith and our love. He describes a God who I can understand. One who desires to reach out to each of us to help us to overcome the agony, the heart ache and tragedies of our lives. He describes a God who is worth worshipping.
