Note: Books such as Donin's [6]To Be A Jew and [7]To Pray As A Jew are
also a good place to start Teshuvah. You'll also find good information
in the [8]Jewish Catalog series, especially the 2nd and 3rd volumes.
Quoting from the "Guide to Baalei Teshuvah" in the 2nd volume of the
Jewish Catalog: "Jewish tradition places an emphasis on the role of
belief and allegiance. Thus the baal teshuvah--master of repentance;
one who turns--often begins his/her trek back to an effective and
gratifying Jewish consciousness through the renewed acceptance of
neglected observances and symbols".
