Autobiography: religious & spiritual; Memoirs; Judaism

A Rabbi's Journey is an honest and stirring account of a spiritual leader's experiences over his four-decade career-from his surprising route to the rabbinate to heartfelt moments shared with congregants.

Rabbi Allan Tuffs shares an insightful memoir, full of colorful commentary on his life and a beautifully-written narrative detailing each part of becoming and being a Rabbi.

From a young age, Allan was enamored by his Jewish roots. Throughout his adolescence, he found every opportunity to immerse himself more in the culture and religion. He studied Hebrew, lived in Israel, and went to a Jewish summer camp. As an adult, his slew of experiences provided his life with purpose and meaning.

In this memoir, Allan uses the introduction to chronicle the unconventional and unexpected road that led him to the rabbinate and follows it up with fifty-four vignettes of his experiences during his career.

The vignettes-though just micro moments in the expanse of Allan's life-play an influential role in his attitude about his profession. Included are cheeky-named chapters like:

Your Assistant Rabbi is an Undocumented Immigrant. A Rabbi, a Priest, a Minister, and a Psychiatrist Walk in a Bar-No Joke. I Liked You Better When You Were a Lesbian. Who's Going to Protest the Mistreatment of Christians in the Mideast? The Jews of Course.

Whether it's a purchase for yourself or a gift for a friend, A Rabbi's Journey is the perfect book for Jewish readers, people who are religious and live in the real world of congregational life, and those seeking out spiritual and religious memoirs.
