| 9. |  | Gateway to Judaism: The What, How, And Why of Jewish Life from Mesorah Publications, Limited Price: $19.79 Customer Review: I loved reading this book ... it tugged at my emotions and gave me new perspectives on God, life, and everything in between.

| 10. |  | The Challenge of Creation: Judaism's Encounter with Science, Cosmology, and Evolution from Yashar Books Price: $19.77 Customer Review: What I like about "The Challenge" is that Rabbi Slifkin confronts the seemingly tough Jewish theological questions like evolution, age of the universe, and primitive man head-on. What I LOVE about the book is that he gives alot of different answers to these issues, some old and some new, but rejects... |

| 14. |  | Jewish Living: A Guide to Contemporary Reform Practice from Urj Press Price: $9.75 Customer Review:  To be honest, I have only just begun to read this book. On first glance at the table of context you see that Washofsky intends to fit as much as possible into one volume, which was the reason for my purchase.

| 15. |  | Orthodoxy from NuVision Publications, LLC Price: $6.19 Customer Review: Not so much a step-by-step handbook, more of a progressive recounting of the intellectual road to Truth, G. K.
