I\u2019m delighted to share the video of yesterday\u2019s launch of The Intercessor<\/a> on Zoom<\/strong>. I was in conversation with Rabbi Diane Elliot<\/a>, read several excerpts, and responded to questions and comments from those who attended. It was fun, especially if you like deep questions about real challenges as much as I do, and I was very happy that the book has gotten such a good early response.<\/p>\n If you stick around till the end of the video, you\u2019ll hear me ask for help<\/strong>. In the nature of book publishing these days, the book is unlikely to get mainstream reviews. I\u2019m sure that word-of-mouth will be the most effective way to grow awareness. Three things you can do would really help: Review the book on Amazon<\/a> or on other book sites, ask your local bookstore to stock it, and use your own blog or social media to share it. Thanks for considering!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a discount code<\/a> to buy The Intercessor<\/em> at 20% off until November 30th.<\/p>\n I am also available to do a free Zoom with your book club, your community organization, your havurah, synagogue, church, or any other group you feel may be interested.<\/strong> Through stories narrated by their main characters, the novel focuses on some things badly needed at this time: on the challenges of building spiritual community, of holding to ethics when they are under attack, of finding love in a moment too filled with hate. While its setting is a Jewish community, many non-Jewish readers have said it speaks just as clearly to them. Please feel free to contact me<\/a> to talk about it. <\/p>\n
