In the tradition of 'When Bad Things Happen to Good People' this inspirational work is an accessible guide to recovering from personal tragedy and loss. Naomi Levy is an articulate rabbi who in her adolescence was shocked by the violent murder of her father into a spiritual struggle. At that time she lost her faith in the idea of a benevolent God and felt let down and alone. Her book speaks to to anyone whose life has been shaken in a similar way. She tells how she and many of the members of her synagogue who have been buffeted by tragedy have found the courage to redefine their faith and return to life. She helps us no matter what our religious beliefs are - to gather our forces after the death of a loved person, after a physical assault, after a divorce. or after wounding loss of a job. How to we rebuild our lives after a major loss or tragedy? The answer is never simple, but in this profound and moving book Naomi Levy offers the reader guidelines for recapturing our hope and innocence.
