When Bad Things Happen To Good People by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner
When Bad Things Happen To Good People - who wouldn't want to read a book with that title? Don't most of us think of ourselves as "good people" and then we wonder why bad things happen to us, our families, our relatives?
I first received a hard-cover version of this book in 1982 when my Dad, Charles F. Seymour, gave a copy to my wife, Pam, and me. Here's what he wrote inside:
Dear Pam and Charlie:
I hope that you will read this book -
Love,
Dad

Wow… that's such a gift from my dad, a very loving man in his own quiet way.
I hope that you, too, will enjoy this book of hope, of enlightenment, of faith and understanding. It's one of my favorites.
