Description

Full of the ideas and affirmations on which bestselling author Harold Kushner has based his life, Who Needs God will help readers bring depth and order to their lives through spirituality. It is a book for anyone who has ever stepped back and thought, 'there must be more to life than this' Here Kushner looks at the nourishment our souls crave, in much the same way that our bodies need the right foods, sunshine and exercise. He maintains that without some kind of spiritual nourishment, our souls remain stunted and underdeveloped. The spiritual life that was so prominent for people in the past is less accessible to us today - because the world is so noisy and full of distractions, because we are so dazzled by our power and success and because in the new millennium religion is often represented by people we no longer trust. In this thought provoking book Kushner shows us that the presence of God in our lives can make a difference and that modern people are capable of pray.

Reviews

'In Who Needs God, Kushner glides thoughtfully and literately from Elie Wiesel to William James to African mythology to make his case for God's role in our lives.' Newsweek
