Phenomenal, book. One of the best reads that I have encountered in some time. I seldom write or underline things in books. I could not read this one without a pen in hand.

Remember Yeshua was born, lived, died, ressurected and ascended a Jewish Rabbi - PONDER THAT
Definitely not biblical exegesis, but definitely within the bounds of discussion allowed for by scripture. While it's not an authoritative reference for spirituality, it is a good exercise for spiritual growth through contemplation. There aren't many like this book and I appreciate Kushner.
i have never had my life changed so much by such a small book. it took me months to read because it kept working on me...i kept having to put it down and chew on what i had just read...paragraph after paragraph!
wow. I think this is a book that someday I would like to own and re read and re read.
I really need to reread this book. It really illustrates how there are no accidents in life.
one of the books for the Five-Day Academy for Spiritual Formation at Canyon Camp in November, 2008
