Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Jewish and Christian religions reinforce feelings of guilt and inadequacy by using the story of the Fall of Adam and Eve to teach that humankind's spiritual inadequacies are inherent. Rabbi Kushner (When Bad Things Happen to Good People, 1981) here retells the Genesis story of the primeval couple to demonstrate that the imperfections of humankind do not merit the loss of God's love, nor should they foster the guilt and anxiety that they often do in a society driven by a misguided attachment to perfection. Combining psychology and spirituality, Kushner invokes the power of acceptance and forgiveness as a means of overcoming the insidious consequences of a preoccupation with perfection. For most libraries.

From AudioFile
In this self-proclaimed "radical" investigation of healing from guilt and shame, Kushner turns toward the act of forgiving as the answer to many human conflicts. HOW GOOD DO WE HAVE TO BE? asks how we can be better perceived by others and teaches empowerment by offering forgiveness to those who may have hurt us. Kushner's wise words are reflected in his voice. The rhythm and cadences of his sentences are simultaneously soothing and powerful (traits that may have come from his long experience as a rabbi). Listeners will come away with a sense of strength in discovering the gentleness necessary to accept, forgive and move on. R.A.P.
