I have to confess that when I first saw the title of this book, I thought it was a how to book on how to have miracles in one's life. A fast look through the book quickly dissipated that idea.

Instead this a book teaches you how to deal with the death or the tragedies of loved ones from the Orthodox Jewish perspective. It uses a traditional Jewish way educating by taking you down a path, It gives what one important Rabbi or another had to say about a given situation or some aspect of one. You read it and you use your own faith and reasoning to whatever conclusion you reach. This is not an approach that will suit everyone.

Those who expect pat or to be handed all the answers will not find those here This is a process you must travel along with the author. The the author wrote the book after the untimely deaths of this parents and later in in the the face of those who had had lost children and other loved ones to the seemingly random violence of the the intifadas in Israel,

Again this is not a book for everyone as it does come at the subject from the perspective of Orthodox Judaism but should be useful to someone coming from a Reform or Conservative background as well. I myself am not formally of the Jewish Faith though I have widely read about Judaism and it's people when I was teenager with the view of coming to a better understanding of it.

All in all a very good book for what it hopes to accomplish.… (meer)
