A book written in 1981 by a Jewish rabbi, Harold S Kushner.
This writer is above average imo. He had a son with a rare aging disease. The son died as a teenager.
This life experience made his writing more mature. Less simplistic. He helps people deal with grief and tragedy because he experienced it himself.
I've only half read it, but he avoids the more superficial explanations for suffering.
He said it's ok to get angry at God for instance . Because only authentic relationships can develop by expressing honest feelings.
Anyway, this book might get on my top 10 list.
