Patron Reception (includes signed book)        

Tree of Life

 

 From the author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People comes an inspiring presentation, based on his bestseller, that puts human feelings of guilt and inadequacy in perspective - and teaches us how we can learn to accept ourselves and others, even when we and they are less than perfect.

How Good Do We Have to Be? is for everyone who experiences that sense of guilt and disappointment. Harold Kushner, with his customary generosity and wisdom, shows us how human life is too complex for anyone to live it without making mistakes, and why we need not fear the loss of God's love when we are less than perfect.

Drawing on modern literature, psychology, theology, and his own thirty years of experience as a congregational rabbi, Harold Kushner reveals how acceptance and forgiveness can change our relationships with the most important people in our lives and help us meet the bold and rewarding challenge of being human.
