OVERCOMING LIFE'S DISAPPOINTMENTS

Using Moses as the ultimate example of a person who faces life's challenges and both succeeds and fails in overcoming them, the author teaches that we too can live a fulfilling life despite broken dreams and disappointments. Narrator Arthur Morey perfectly captures Rabbi Kushner's words. His voice is calm and reassuring, but also insistent and resolute enough that we might mistake him for the author. Morey's excellent diction and pacing keep the book moving and enable us to closely follow some of the Rabbi's sophisticated Biblical analyses. His most notable accomplishment, though, is communicating a moral message that might be unpopular with some and making us think deeply about it.
