For three millennia, individuals in all walks of life have asked the same question: Is the Torah true? Entrepreneur, philanthropist and Biblical teacher Mark Gerson has found a new, unique, and only now possible way to answer that question. In God Was Right, Gerson examines the Torah on the basis of what it declares itself to be -- a guidebook, which identifies, asks and answers the practical, relevant and important questions that enable us to live our best lives. Gerson shows in detail that the Torah's questions and claims are exactly those asked and investigated by modern social scientists. Their work has enabled perhaps the biggest discovery of all: The Torah is true -- absolutely, comprehensively, and enthusiastically so. This extensive, revelatory, and fascinating exploration into the truth of the Torah features: Answers to life's questions, such as: How long should I date before getting married? What should I do when I'm angry or offended? Can I become a better person? How can I help my child succeed in school? How should I allocate my time? How can I become happier?; Surprising insights on contemporary activities, including insurance rates, casual sex, hockey uniforms, educational outcomes, and basketball championships; An examination of social phenomena including peer pressure, antifragility, diversity, fear, future orientation, reframing, victimization and the key to personal transformation. Suitable for reading chapter by chapter, or for focusing only on a particular subject of interest, God Was Right is an extraordinary book that will enlighten, inspire, and delight every reader.
