Summary:
Most of us need to feel that we matter in some way; perhaps this
explains the high value placed on titles, corner offices, and even
fleeting celebrity. But most of us also need to feel that we are good
people. In this luminous yet practical book of spiritual advice,
Harold Kushner bridges the gap between these seemingly irreconcilable
needs, showing us how even our smallest daily actions can become
stepping stones toward integrity.Drawing on the stories of his own
congregants, on literature, current events and, above all, on the
Biblical story of Jacob, the worldly trickster who evolves into a man
of God --Kushner addresses some of the most persistent dilemmas of
the human condition: Why do decent people so often violate their
moral standards? How can we pursue justice without giving in to the
lure of revenge? How can we turn our relationships with family and
friends into genuine sources of meaning? Persuasive and sympathetic,
filled with humanity and warmth, Living a Life That Matters is a
deeply rewarding book.
