Summary:
From the author of the best-selling When Bad Things Happen to Good
People and Living a Life That Matters–a new book of practical
spirituality, of inspiration and encouragement gleaned from what may
be the best-known and best-loved chapter in the Bible: the
Twenty-third Psalm. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” So
begins the psalm that, for millennia, has been a source of comfort in
grief and of courage in fear. Now Harold Kushner discovers what it
has to teach us about living our day-to-day lives. Each chapter
discusses one line of the psalm in the context of both the time when
it was written and the present day, and illuminates the life lessons
contained within it. For example, Kushner shows us that the phrase
“My cup runneth over” is a declaration of our gratitude for what life
has given us and a rejection of the envy we may feel for what others
have. And he draws on the ideas and thoughts of various spiritual
figures–from G. K. Chesterton to Martin Buber to Paul Tillich–to
further expand our understanding of this great psalm and help us
benefit from its everyday spiritual wisdom.
