In more than thirty years as a teacher and spiritual leader, Rabbi Kushner has met and spoken and talked with thousands of good and caring people who have asked the questions
• ”What can religion offer?”
• “What difference does religion really make in our lives?”
Rabbi Kushner says, “This book is written for those who asked why we need more than the commandment to be nice to each other…and it is for all the intelligent, thoughtful people I have met who had trouble believing that religion could be important to somebody” in the twentieth century.
In Who Needs God the rabbi shows us that indeed religious commitment can make a great difference in our lives. With warmth, clarity and force, he writes about his own faith and what it has meant for him at each stage of his life. And he shows us how faith can enrich even the most fulfilling lives as it creates new sources of strength and comfort for all of us. For Who Needs God speaks to the hopes and longings of anyone who has ever needed to make sense of life and has wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, who has ever felt guilty or lonely or afraid or empty. It is then, the author shows us, that the resources of a religious faith will renew, refresh and replenish us.
Rabbi Kushner, who has brought inspiration and comfort to millions with two previous books, has written a powerful, provocative and persuasive book that makes religious commitment understandable and attractive to everyone―no matter how we live, no matter what our religious convictions are―as he explores the importance of God and religious faith in our daily lives.
Who Needs God is a book of universal appeal.
