Leaving Bacon Behind provides a comprehensive, easy-to-read guide for conversion that focuses on questions prospective Jews by Choice might have, including "Why should one convert to Judaism?" and "What happens after the conversion?" This book is a direct result of the questions the author fielded during his time as a moderator in one of the largest Jewish-by-Choice internet communities and his own personal experience as a disabled transsexual Jew by Choice. This includes content discussed in Judaism conversion classes and live courses, as well as questions, comments, and feedback from prospective and successful Jews by Choice. No other book on Jewish conversion has incorporated widescale, peer-reviewed feedback from the target community. As the author does not fit the stereotype of an able-bodied, middle-class, white heterosexual female converting for marriage, this book includes a section of additional considerations for converting on a budget, if one is LGBT, disabled, or non-white, if one is already married to a non-Jew, or if one already has children. Leaving Bacon Behind is sure to be a must-read conversion classic.

You may be wondering, "Do we really need another Gospel commentary? Why does the title associate the Gospel with mystery, and even more, a mystery revealed?" - Contrast Jesus with the Old Testament Father God, their image in your mind. Jesus loving, patient, and forgiving. The Father God something quite different, strict adherence to Law, genocidal nation building. Have you ever struggled with that? Most everyone has, and most still do, though they may not openly admit it. Church scholarship has striven over the ages to find the solution. Why did God have to be so mysterious? This book will give you the Biblical answer. And why do the Gospels preached by Jesus and Paul seem to conflict? Jesus-more towards works. Paul - more towards grace. And like me, have you not been pestered with conflicting crucifixion explanations? Was it really God's judgment on display? Was the Father truly placing all our sin on Jesus' back? And what about the Jews? Did they actually fail God in their climactic final exam? In this book you will discover, with total scriptural harmony, Biblical answers to these questions and more. Nowhere herein are arguments made stripped from their Biblical context. It is astounding to see the beauty and wonder of our amazing God, when these mysteries from Scripture are revealed.

It was a time, too, when motor vehicles were just beginning to make their appearance in our more isolated part of the country. Although a story of olden times, this is not a pioneer story as such. Any age has its measure of romance and thrilling progress, but this erawas the beginning of a swift rate of progress the like of which had never been seen. Having observed this continuing acceleration, it is almost as if someone had pushed a fast-forward button.Growing Up on the High Plains of Kansas: Through a Child's Eyes is the story of our dear Mother, Leila "Tiny" Bosler McDougal, who passed away June 6, 2016, at age 107.
