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".
