The Lord is My Shepherd: Healing Wisdom of the Twenty-Third Psalm

Honored as one of fifty people who have made the world a better place, Rabbi Harold Kushner offers this meditation on the beloved Twenty-third Psalm. Unpacking the psalm line by line, Kushner probes its capacity to offer us guidance and consolation in this most uncertain world. For example, in the image of God leading us by still waters, Kushner reminds us that His presence can help us to master our emotions and build confidence. He also recalls the insights of others: for example, G.K. Chesterton's reading of "my cup runneth over," which acknowledges that just as children delight when Santa puts toys in their stockings, we should be grateful when God puts into our stockings two healthy legs. A gift of wit and grace.
