Is a conversion appropriate in this circumstance?
Sveta:
"To be a Jew" is a good book too.

Also I don't know what LKZ is referring to the 'book of rachel'.... There is no such book in the canon of Jewish holy writing. I think he is referring to the 'Book of Ruth' which is indeed a Jewish holy book and it does discuss the merit of the great convert Ruth who is the great grandmother of King David and thus the matriarch of the Messianic line.
Jewish books are divided into different categories. Some discuss Halacha (Jewish law) others discuss issues of Faith and Trust (Emmunah and Bitachon) and still others are called Mussar (books which concentrate on refining character traits).
I have already provided two links to two Kosher Orthodox Book publishers...
ArtScroll @ http://www.artscroll.com
Feldheim @ http://www.feldheim.com/
Go to those sites and browse... You will find Orthodox Jewish books there.

Thanks. There is a Book of Ann on amazon which to a degree does talk about conversions it seems but focuses on Jewish history so I think you'll probably right with regards to the Book of Ruth.

In answer to your question I was referring to books which reference worshiping Hashem as an orthodox jew which are the links you provided me.

That book of Rachel is a fictional account... I thought you were interested in non-fictional books about Jewish belief, tradition, and ritual.

What do you mean the book of Rachel is fictional. Wasn't that David Ha Melech's grandmother?
