If you are a Christian, this book isn’t for you. It is full of blashphemy, concluding that we must “… forgive God” and that we must love God “… even if He isnt perfect”. Kusher even has the will to say that “…God would not be God…” without our love for Him. At one point he reduces God to an aminal saying that in the garden of Eden, when God said “…let US make man in OUR image” he was speking to animals and creation. Kusher explains that God created the world, and in the next paragraph that we came by evolution.
Since when was God in need of forgiveness? Isnt it that “… God so loved the world” and it wasnt us that loved God? I have no words in describing this book. It is full of error, because it does not base it self on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. All this book does is frees you from the thought that you are a sinner, and that it isnt your fault, and that actully you are a good person. Why do bad things happen to good people? Wrong question. There are no good people in the world in the first place. ” for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God…” The world is in sin. The world DOES NOT HAVE GOOD PEOPLE!! Only by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ you are made righteous. I beg you in the name of Jesus Christ to stay away from this book. It hasnt helped 4 million people, but it lied to them. Kusher, please turn from your ways and come to Jesus, then will you understand the life question “WHY”!

I was given this book as a graduation gift. Not only was I insulted; I was forced to READ IT!!
AHHH!!!THE AGONY
I felt like I was back in preschool having a old lady tell me how to be a “good little boy”.
Kushner here’s some advice for you:
Bad things happen to everybody,
except when they happen to an SOB
you think they deserve it.

This book twists so much about God.
God is in control of all things and has the power to change all circumstances. When he doesn’t that does not change the fact that God is good and is in control. Trials are put or allowed to be in our lives for a reason. We do not always know why but if you are walking with God you can be sure that it will work out for good. Yes even if we lose someone we love or have a lifelong struggle…

I must admit, I have not read this book yet, but aim to do so. I heard Mr. Kushner speak about his book on the God Squad and the message of his book .I found it extremely sincere and thoughtful. I think this book would put many people at rest with some of their un-answered question.
