REVIEWS

In G-d of Our Understanding: Jewish Spirituality & Recovery from Addiction, Rabbi Taub has masterfully elucidated these concepts. This is book which should be read by all clergy, therapists, people in recovery -- people who should be in recovery -- and their family members. --Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D., Founder, Medical Director Emeritus, Gateway Rehabilitation Center

Every now and again I run across a book that just grabs me. Rabbi Taub has written such a book. His understanding of the disease of addiction is refreshing. Instead of focusing on the pathology that causes addiction, he understands our problem from a unique perspective -- that addiction happens because of what is right about us.

It is obvious that this book is written by a man who has integrated his understanding of spirituality into his personal experience with recovery. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the interface between spirituality, addiction and recovery. --Dr. Allen Berger, Ph.D., author of 12 Stupid Things that Mess Up Recovery and 12 Smart Things to Do When the Booze and Drugs are Gone
