Description: In this book, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach tackles the ultimate, timeless questions that go to the heart of the human condition and arrives at some surprising answers. I Shall Not Die For I Shall Live examines the human experience of tragedy and pain, with reference to the ultimate text on suffering the Book of Job as well as to modern-day examples drawn from today's headlines. Rabbi Shmuley shares his reaction to the answers proffered by Harold Kushner's bestselling Why Bad Things Happen to Good People, and then details his own responses, guiding us to the conclusion that challenging G-d and His actions is not just our right, but our foremost obligation as human beings. This is practical philosophy for the twentyfirst century, with a concrete action plan for dealing with suffering and successfully navigating the travails of life with grace, passion, and integrity.
