Garmann's Summer

BY STIAN HOLE
This unique, award-winning picture book delves into the mind of a young boy who is afraid of starting school. Summer is nearly over. The old aunts have come to visit, and autumn is in the air. Everything is ready for Garmann's first day of school, but he is still nervous. And he can't believe that he hasn't lost a single tooth yet, despite his best efforts! Stian Hole has created a memorable and endearing character in Garmann, whose musings about fear and courage, life and death, beginnings and endings, help him understand that everyone is scared of something.

Gay Marriage, Real Life

Ten Stories Of Love And Family

BY MICHELLE BATES DEAKIN
This intimate account of ten same-sex couples brings to life how the decision to marry has affected them and their extended families. These personal journeys present a range of experiences, from a mother who became a gay rights activist when her youngest child came out as a lesbian, to a girl whose realization that her fathers were not married spurred the men to join the gay marriage lawsuit in Massachusetts, to a lesbian couple and devoted mothers of twins who fight for same-sex adoption rights in Oklahoma. Deakin chronicles both their private strides toward acceptance and their public struggles to advance gay rights.

Genius Of The Transcendent

Mystical Writings Of Jakob Boehme

TRANSLATED BY MICHAEL BIRKEL AND JEFF BACH
Quaker scholar Michael Birkel turns his attention to Jakob Boehme (1575-1624) a mystic, like Meister Eckhart, who pushed language to its limits to describe an experience that happens above and beyond rational thought. George Fox read him and his influence is to be seen in many of the early Quakers, and in modern Frthe German Romantics, Pietism, various American utopian experiments, and in the European mystics who came after him. The great scholar of mysticism Evelyn Underhill called him "one of the most astonishing cases in history of a natural genius for the transcendent." This is a translation to modern English with an excellent introduction from the translators.

A Gentleman Of Color

The Life Of James Forten

BY JULIE WINCH
"Less than a decade ago, Forten remained a footnote in books on U.S. and African-American history. This new critical biography, the first serious work on his life and legacy, not only restores him to his rightful place in American history, but also presents readers with an invigorating and challenging new portrait of pre- and post-Revolutionary race relations and identities....The strength of the book, aside from rediscovering Forten, is the careful and often surprising research into the complexity of African-American life in the 18th and early 19th centuries." - Publishers Weekly

A Historian Looks At Early America

An interesting collection of essays on the history of early America, that somehow includes Andy Warhol but omits Quakers - even William Penn. Useful for its Southern and slavery sections, and if you read carefully about "Puritans" you can also learn much, not least about "Bundling", an unusual approved method of testing a marriage before the vows.

The Geography Of Light

Audio Cd

BY CARRIE NEWCOMER
This CD was in part influenced by Newcomer's friendships and recent collaborations with influential authors and theologians, including Parker Palmer, Phillip Gulley, Jim Wallis, Scott Russell Sanders and Barbara Kingsolver. Many of the album's tracks examine compelling ideas and questions arising out of her relationships within this Quakerly community - the idea that things are not always as they appear; that good exists at the center of things; that life is a process of transformation; that there is value in simple things; that wholeness is not beyond our reach. Through her songs, she asks: What is the nature of justice? Where do we turn for strength?

The Rise And Fall Of The Railway King

BY A J ARNOLD, S MCCARTNEY
George Hudson was the epitomy of a fraudulent British capitalist in the early 1800's but was able to establish a vast railway network that established the future wealth of York. Many British Quakers were involved in the development of the railways and it was Friends who asked some of the awkward questions that caused his downfall in 1849. Little actual Quaker interest, but perhaps his methods have their mirror in many modern day concerns. SECONDHAND in A1 condition with dustjacket.

Many of these same songs became anthems of the Civil Rights movement of the 60s, their messages of faith and determination stoking freedom marches and rallies. Artists include Bernice Johnson Reagon, renowned musician, teacher, activist and founder of Sweet Honey in the Rock; actor Danny Glover; contemporary folk-blues performer Guy Davis and many others.

Brian Drayton explores the idea of "rootedness" at multiple levels - as metaphor, discipline and goal in order to reveal the ways in which we may derive the most nourishment from the roots that we seek to rediscover, and more importantly, so that God's spirit may flourish within and through us.
