In

whole spectrum of Judaism's sacred writings to give a manual on how
to lead a decent, kind, and honest life in a morally complicated world.
Telushkin speaks to the major ethical issues of our time, issue that
have, of course, been around since the beginning.
The range of the book is as broad as life itself.
