It was a Jewish Rabbi.  That book is used by and suggested for those  who 
counsel others in time
of supportive need.
Good reading too!

I once  read a book titled 'Why do bad things happen to good people'. It was 
written  by a Religious leader a Rabbi, Priest or whatever. The gist of it was 
that God  put us here and that was that. He did not believe in Divine 
intervention. Much  like your post Amy. One of my mottos is 'Life is a crap 
shoot'. 
You get what  you get - deal with it. I have to laugh when people attribute 
everything to  God. 'A tornado was coming and we took refuge in our church. All 
the other  buildings around us were destroyed but not our church! That's 
because God  protected us.' This same type of thinking happens when the church 
was  
demolished by the tornado and everyone inside was killed. 'It's all part of  
God's plan. We don't understand it but we're sure He has a reason for this'.  

Prayer may comfort you but IMHO it won't affect the outcome - nor  should it.
