Foreword INDIES Nominated Prodigal Children in the House of G-d by Yermiyahu Ahron Taub as Book of the Year Awards Finalist. The book is listed under the category of Religious Adult Fiction. As noted on the website, the following books are considered: "Books that are faith-based. In these works, ideas of God or religion play a significant role in the plot, character development, and outcome."

Prodigal Children in the House of G-d is a collection of short stories connected through characters and a theme stemming from ultra-Orthodox Jewish and/or queer perspectives. The protagonists are navigated by religious traditions shaping their existence and leading up to startling hazardous personal gambles.

Taub was awarded as one of New York’s best emerging Jewish artists by the Museum of Jewish Heritage. He was also nominated four times for a Pushcart Prize and twice for a Best of the Net Award.
