HOW GOOD DO WE HAVE TO BE?

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. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 97]
