Publisher Description
If you have lost faith or have never known it, or if you have ever wondered, "What can religion offer?" here are wise and thoughtful answers. With the warmth, insight, and understanding that distinguished his phenomenal bestsellers When Bad Things Happen to Good People and How Good Do We Have to Be?, Harold Kushner addresses a critical issue in the lives of many: a spiritual hunger that no personal success can feed. Rabbi Kushner shows how religious commitment does have a place in our daily lives, filling a need for connection, joy, and community.
For anyone who has ever wanted a more fulfilling life or wished to make a difference in the lives of others, for anyone who has ever felt guilty, afraid, or alone, Rabbi Kushner shares a path to faith that offers new sources of comfort and strength for all of us. Powerful, provocative, and persuasive, Who Needs God is a message of universal appeal.

“Down to earth…Compelling and thoughtful.”

— Cleveland Plain Dealer -

" Humurous and inspiring. Good for all religions and spiritualities. "
— Sarah, 9/12/2013 -
" I was listening to a digital copy that appears to have been made from the original audio recording. It was decent, but seemed more like a sampling of his writings and thoughts than a meaty read to reflect upon. His thoughts on why we want accountability were timely. "
