Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secrets of the confessional are too important to be kept secret, and Jonathan Romain shares them all in this rollercoaster of crises, emotional traumas, moral dilemmas, attempts at seduction, multiple murders, machiavellian families, hijacked weddings, catastrophic funerals and a maze of other people's sexual fantasies. Rabbi Romain's previous careers - as a radio agony uncle, prison chaplain, postman and nightclub bouncer - have helped him navigate the human jungle, and now he takes us with him on a remarkable journey spiced with wit and wisdom. Revealing the extraordinary stories of ordinary people, Confessions of a Rabbi is a candid, poignant and often hilarious insight into the human condition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessions of a Jewish Shiksa is more than an autobiography or a memoir. It's a powerful confession... it is a trip worth taking“Compelled to tell her story and create shows from frantic chaotic moments in her life and relationships, Sheridan created a confes- sional piece that is pithy, involving, sassy and sometimes just a bit rude...a lively inspection of self, life, and the process involved in cultivating good feelings against all odds, shattering old paradigms and patterns of loss, grief, and negativity that inject the descendants of the Holocaust with a form of ongoing PTSD.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the nineteenth century, some 84,500 Jews in imperial Russia converted to Christianity. Confessions of the Shtetl explores the day-to-day world of these people, including the social, geographic, religious, and economic links among converts, Christians, and Jews. The book narrates converts' tales of love, desperation, and fear, tracing the uneasy contest between religious choice and collective Jewish identity in tsarist Russia. Rather than viewing the shtetl as the foundation myth for modern Jewish nationhood, this work reveals the shtetl's history of conversions and communal engagement with converts, which ultimately yielded a cultural hybridity that both challenged and fueled visions of Jewish separatism. Drawing on extensive research with conversion files in imperial Russian archives, in addition to the mass press, novels, and memoirs, Ellie R. Schainker offers a sociocultural history of religious toleration and Jewish life that sees baptism not as the fundamental departure from Jewishness or the Jewish community, but as a conversion that marked the start of a complicated experiment with new forms of identity and belonging. Ultimately, she argues that the Jewish encounter with imperial Russia did not revolve around coercion and ghettoization but was a genuinely religious drama with a diverse, attractive, and aggressive Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Sydney Taylor Book Award! An "eleven-going-on-twelve-year-old Jewish girl" searches for her identity in what Publisher's Weekly called a "reassuring debut novel about finding one's personal peace-and-comfort zone." Justine Silver's best friend, Mary Catherine McAllister, has given up chocolate for Lent, but Justine doesn't think God wants her to make that kind of sacrifice. So she's decided to give up being Jewish instead. Eleven-year-old Justine pours her heart out to her teddy bear, "Father Ted," in a homemade closet confessional. But when Justine's beloved Bubbe suffers a stroke, Justine worries that her religious exploration is responsible. Worse, she must suddenly contemplate life without Bubbe. Ultimately, it's Bubbe's quiet understanding of Justine's search for identity that helps Justine to find faith in the most important place of all-within herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy Billy's confessions. You just have to be a little sentimental and somewhat curious. All of our lives are made up of a series of short stories, each adding to our wealth of knowledge and experiences, ultimately shaping who we are today. Some would call it - reminiscing - others just - looking back - while others might enjoy - recalling - stories from their past. We all do it. Billy, in a light hearted way shares with you his unique life experiences in Confessions of a Jewish Hillbilly. Set in the hills of Appalachia just before the outbreak of World War II, Billy's stories, other than being set in another time and in another place are perhaps not much different than stories you would recall when looking into the rear view mirror of your youth. Among the over 100 short stories in Confessions...are Stories I Never Told My Mother. If at least one story comes to mind, for you, this unique book is a must read. Be prepared to reminisce, look back and recall or just smile a lot. Confessions of a Jewish Hillbilly is an unabridged, tell-all book about Billy's first 17 years, growing up in a small West Virginia town, as seen through the eyes of a four to six year old, an eight to 10 year old, a 13 and 17 year old. Included are many fascinating stories about a grade school kid learning about life during an amazing period in our country's history: the Second World War and the post war years that followed. The story ends as Billy, the teenager, enters the mid-century modern era of the 1950s and is faced with dealing with a major event that would change his life forever.

More than six years ago Blech was diagnosed with a fatal illness and given six months to live.
