Judaism and Christianity are related, so there is a great interest in Judaism among those who profess to be Christians. And there are probably far more MobileReaders who profess Christianity than those who are Jews. That's the reason that I'm posting this book on the Christian Interest thread, even though it is a book about Judaism.

For me to post a book, it has to have very good, at least, ratings and have a big markdown on it. I'm posting this book because it has both of those and, on top of that, it is massive--804 pages--too! At $1.99 (15% of the digital list price), this book has fantastic bang for the buck, punch for the pound, and kick for the kruggerand!

This ebook is the #2 seller in the "Jewish Life" category at the Amazon Kindle store.

This is the 2010 revision.
