The author has put into words the answers to many of the most central questions in Jewish observance in a way rarely found in English. The source for the answers is a talmudic scholar that the author was privileged to devlop a close relationship which changed his life, a frequent occurence from such close relationships. His Rebbe is uniquely qualified to guide the searching soul of the Jew, as he has dedicated several decades of his life doing that, and comes from generations of world class Rabbis interested in the same thing.
The book is not just for the uninitiated and would benefit even the long time "Torah Jew."
Get the book, and keep Andy in mind. He is working on more things in this most important area.

This book is well-written, and easy to read in a question and answer format. The target reader is someone wanting to become an observant Jew, but is interesting and informative for even someone who is religous already. I would recommend this to anybody, from someone who knows very little about the Jewish religon, to the most observant Jew.

This is an intensely personal, well written account of the author's journey to becoming an observant Jew. The question-and-answer format makes for easy reading and Mr. Lefkowitz deals not just with the fundamental but also with the provocative questions raised in the course of his becoming observant. The colorful analogies drive the points home. While this book provides guidance to those seeking to become observant Jews, it is equally interesting to non-Jewish readers.

From Fear to Eternity is a powerful, deeply moving book of Mr. Lefkowitz's life journey. It is a book to read, to treasure, and to share with friends. I highly recommend it.

"From Fear to Eternity" is written with an ease and honesty that draws the reader in immediately. The book opens with the engrossing story of its author's return to his Jewish roots. What follows is quite literally a step-by-step guide to help soul-searching Jews reconnect to their heritage and religion, with information on everything from finding the right teacher to observing the Jewish holidays to dealing with family and friends who are resistant to a loved one's new lifestyle and outlook. Lefkowitz's book offers a great service to those who want to know and practice more but who can't quite find the path on their own.

Great book.....befitting of it's title....all of us have fear of change and the author's honesty about his chosen path and it's ultimate rewards is most inspirational. Well done!
