Editorial Reviews

A respected rabbi and author advises parents on talking to children aobut their fears, fantasies, hopes, and questions. Kushner believes we get into trouble when we teach children to think of God as a person who controls everything in the world. He offers some affirmative ways of meeting God with this in mind. A book for every family.
