The New Book

I'm extremely grateful to be able to announce that my book, G-d of Our Understanding: Jewish Spirituality and Recovery from Addiction, is now available on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/God-Our-Understanding-Spirituality-Addiction/dp/1602801533/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_1

Please go check it out.

If you want to help me make some noise about this book, here are a few things you can do.


1) Tagging. Scroll down to the book's "tags." Agree with all of the tags that you believe apply to my book.
2) Reviewing. Write a review of the book. If you are the kind of person who needs to read a book before reviewing it, please contact my office at taubbooking at gmail dot com and I'll send you a manuscript.
3) Buying. This is especially helpful if you are also buying a related book, because then it will say on the other books page that customers who bought that book also bought my book.


If you do buy the book, please be aware that it has just gone to the printer and that actual hard copies do not yet exist. From what I'm told, we should be holding the physical books in our hands in 4-6 weeks. Again, if you can't wait until then, email my office (taubbooking@gmail.com)and if you review the book, I'll hook you up with an advance PDF.

God of Our Understanding

Hello, IOCC Friends,

I wanted to share with you some exciting developments that have already come along in this brand new year.

Back in the Spring of '09, the work I was doing in Milwaukee was covered on NPR. At the end of the interview, I mentioned that I was writing a book on Jewish spirituality and the Twelve Steps which I really was. I just hadn't started actually writing it yet.

So, I emailed our very own IOCC Blog editor, Gwen R., and asked her if I could use the blog as a forum to start pounding out some of my ideas. Here's a post from this blog from 3.23.09.

This post actually became part of a central part of my book which contains several chapters explaining the implicit theology of the Twelve Steps.

Anyway, I just received the proofs for the cover. This is not necessarily a final draft but it's cool to see.

Thank you all so much for reading and literally PULLING the creativity out of me. Writing this book has been a tremendous opportunity to be of service and I have already benefitted so much, thank G-d, from it all.
