Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Rabbi Harold Kushner believes that the Twenty-third Psalm--perhaps the most memorable and cherished chapter of the Bible--offers spiritual riches that can change a person's life. He has found that thesesimple, beautiful verses, full of honesty and optimism, have an almost magical power to comfort and calm. The psalm does not pretend that life is ever easy, but it offers a masterful guide to living in the world withfaith and courage. Drawing on over forty years of his own thinking, on other biblical scholars, and on history, Kushner gracefully demonstrates how this sustaining work can help us cope with every aspect of life, frommundane jealousies to the death of a loved one to unimaginable tragedies of global proportions.

Table of Contents

First words — A psalm of David — The Lord is my shepherd — I shall not want — He makes me to lie down in green pastures — He leads me beside the still waters — He restores my soul — He guides me in straight paths for his name's sake — Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death — I will fear no evil for thou art with me — Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me — Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies — Thou anointest my head with oil — My cup runneth over — Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life — And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
