As he lay in the hospital recovering, he kept wondering: Why had two younger men died while he, who had already lived his life fully, survived? \u003cbr\u003e The question drove this son of a Russian-Jewish ragman to a search for his roots and on a long journey of self-discovery -- a quest not only for the meaning of life and his own relationship with God, but for his own identity as a Jew. Through the study of the Bible, Kirk Douglas found a new spirituality and purpose. His newfound faith deeply enriched his relationship with his own children and taught him -- a man who had always been famously demanding and impatient -- to listen to others and, above all, to hear his own inner voice. \u003cbr\u003e Told with warmth, wit, much humor, and deep passion, \u003ci\u003eClimbing the Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e is inspirational in the very best sense of the word.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48682764304613,"sku":"NP9780684865843","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_d2c079c3-8e62-4eaf-8e02-2f78c6bf53da.jpg?v=1775168628","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/climbing-the-mountain-isbn-9780684865843","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
