Bad Stuff in the News

By Thomas Harman, Marc Gellman, Monsignor Thomas Harman, et al.

Book Overview

In this essential handbook for modern youth, the nationally admired rabbi-and-priest duo known as the God Squad help readers cope with front-page news disasters--from the terrorist attacks of violence, substance abuse, environmental destruction, and hate crimes that plague our world. With exceptional compassion and insight drawn from years of counseling experience as clerics, they explore the complex factors leading to such tragedies; then, they reveal what can be gained from dealing with the "bad stuff" rather than hiding from it.
