At Death's Door

About this book

Rabbi Greg Hershberg spent decades helping people find God in suffering.Then suffering came for him.After an unexpected medical crisis, Greg's life unraveled fast. A collapsing body. A stopped heart. Emergency interventions. Fifty days of pain, fear, and brutal uncertainty. The man who had preached hope to others suddenly found himself lying in a hospital bed asking, "Lord, where are You?"At Death's Door is a raw, gripping memoir about what happens when faith is no longer a message you teach but a lifeline you must personally grab hold of. From a Jewish upbringing in the Bronx to an encounter with Jesus in Israel, from building Beth Yeshua International into a global ministry to facing death head-on, Greg's story is one of fierce honesty, deep suffering, and the presence of God in the darkest places.For anyone who has ever cried out in pain, wrestled with fear, or wondered whether God is still there, this book offers a powerful answer.He was there in the valley.He is there now.And He still meets people at death's door.From my doctors...Why Rabbi Greg went through this, why he's still alive are questions that only time and eternity will answer. What we all understand, however, is obvious; it is only through the grace of Almighty God that Rabbi Greg is alive and able to tell this story. And all the glory, honor and praise go to Him who continues to use Rabbi Greg to communicate God's redemptive love to this world.Dr. Daniel RobitshekThis testimony is not about denying medicine. It is about honoring it-and then acknowledging when an outcome moves beyond what medicine can reasonably expect. This experience reminds me that as believers, we are never alone-God is with us in healing and in loss, in miracles and in mourning-and no matter the outcome, God is still God.Dr. Lawrence Kirk
