How Good Do We Have to Be?

By Rabbi Harold S. Kushner

We are all exposed to many different kinds of thinking. Some ideas we reject because they obviously contradict the values we cherish. Others are so clearly in tune with those values that we readily accept and apply them in our lives.

But the majority of ideas we come across are not so easily classified. They may include useful insights and new perspectives, yet they could also contain elements that are questionable.

A recent book by best-selling author Harold S. Kushner is a case in point. In How Good Do We Have to Be? Rabbi Kushner looks at the universal problems of guilt and feelings of inadequacy in an attempt to help people accept themselves and others, and feel secure about God's love for them.
