Summary:

Deeply profound yet wonderfully accessible, this book provides comfort and renewed hope for readers of all faiths. Firmly anchored in more than 3,000 years of scholarship, it applies age-old truths to contemporary life, showing readers how to find solace as they endure overwhelming suffering and inexplicable loss.

Notes:

Based on the teachings of Menachem Mendel Schneerson, founder of the Lubavitcher movement.

"Although this work is a product of the contributions from many scholars, inevitably it is an adaptation as seen through the lens of my scholastic experience and understanding of the Rebbe, for which I assume responsibility"--Introd.

Originally published in 1995, the new edition has "a new foreword and chapter that address the upheaval that followed the events of September 11."

Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-317).
