The Poor in Spirit
Novel
Raised as a fundamentalist Christian, businessman John Tallman was shaken when he learned that he was really Jewish by birth. Rejected by his wife and his congregation when he refused to disown his heritage, he began a search for the real meaning of faith. As his world seemed to crumble around him, he was confronted by other persons in his life beset by doubt and fear. Torn between his love for his wife and his loyalty to his beloved mother and grandparents, John must choose between the religion he has been taught and the truth as he believes it. Moving, thought provoking and controversial, The Poor in Spirit explores the role of religion in life and relationships. This book will cause you to challenge your every preconceived idea about what it means to be faithful.

To the Promised Land
Memoir
To the Promised Land is the true story of the author's search for the deeper meaning of life. After more than eight years as an Evangelical Christian pastor, he left the church to find G-d's way for himself. In his search he explored other Christian groups and had a memorable encounter with so-called "Messianic" Judaism. His spiritual journey finally brought him to traditional Judaism. Believing that he had at last found the religious home for which he longed, he undertook the process of conversion, not once but twice. This is an inspiring story of searching and finding, all the while traveling with G-d.
