Reseña del editor

Drawing on the harrowing experiences of a wildfire that destroyed everything he owned, Rabbi Wayne Dosick reflects on the challenges of coping with tragedy. Writing as the events were unfolding, he reveals his inner-most thoughts during this troubled time. This title follows him through the initial shock, anger and grieving. It explores the strain this tragedy put on his marriage and the emotional toll paid not only by him, but by his family, friends and congregation as well. Turning inward, the author explores his feelings about a God who could allow such terrible things to happen. He draws from the Bible, Jewish teachings and his own writings from "before the fire". Ultimately, he finds a place for God's role in tragedy and for tragedy in our lives. In the end, he reveals, for everyone that hurts, the path that leads to renewal.
