“The author pours into [the book] everything a long life has taught
him about this psalm, and all that this psalm has taught him about
life.... It is a book worthy of attention from people of all
faiths.” —The Dallas Morning News
“This is a nurturing book that will bring comfort to those who are
grieving and peace to those who are caught in the vise of constant
fear.” —Spirituality & Health
“Reaffirms [Rabbi Kushner’s] pre-eminent position among the
religious teachers of the 21st century.... This book is filled with
just the right story, anecdote or illustration at just the right
place.” —Jewish Media Review
“One of Kushner’s strengths always has been his ability to
empathize, to understand the pain of others on a personal level,
and to share his gentle wisdom in an accessible manner.... Nearly
as soothing as the psalm itself, Kushner’s words elucidate,
reassure and encourage.” —The Plain Dealer
