Living a Life That Matters - Paperback

A bestselling work of spiritual advice from a nationally known spiritual leader and beloved author that offers "a set of guideposts for living a useful and fulfilled life, no matter what the future holds" (The Boston Globe).

Drawing on the stories of his own congregants, on literature, current events and, above all, on the Biblical story of Jacob (the worldly trickster who evolves into a man of God), Rabbi Harold S. Kushner--author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People--addresses some of the most persistent dilemmas of the human condition: Why do decent people so often violate their moral standards? How can we pursue justice without giving in to the lure of revenge? How can we turn our relationships with family and friends into genuine sources of meaning? Persuasive and sympathetic, filled with humanity and warmth, Living a Life That Matters is a deeply rewarding book.
