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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold with warmth, wit, much humor, and deep passion, Climbing the Mountain is inspirational in the very best sense of the word.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52668254060911,"sku":"9780684865843","price":135.72,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/068486584X.jpg?v=1770932103","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/climbing-the-mountain","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
