Kushner's words are timeless. Despite being written in 2008, his comments regarding terrorism and the need to keep living hold true even now in the wake of the October 7th terrorist attack by Hamas. His style is direct and unafraid to touch on uncomfortable truths.
My favorite quote was "Fear casts out love as surely as love casts out fear."

I didn't know going into this book that it was written by a Rabbi but I was pleasantly surprised. This wasn't a 70 year old Rabbi living in the past but a Rabbi who had kept up with times and knew what he was talking about. Only drawback was that he kept talking occasionally about what he hopes to see in the future or what should people do to bring a change but that might be good in sermons it was of no value in a book.

I like his other work but it’s definitely from 2009. I don’t fault the author, but much of this is no longer relevant in the post 2020 world.

Favorite part was the ask in regards to electoral campaigns:
"Take note of what a candidate says is a promise of the good things they would do and how much is a warning of the terrible things that will happen if their opponent is elected."

Parts worth 5 stars, parts worth 2. I wish there had been more connection to stories, as it relied a bit too much on "yeah you are afraid but suck it up." Still, I appreciated the fears being stated plainly, without gloss, especially around death and the reality of not knowing what will happen.
