Monster

BY WALTER DEAN MYERS
16 year old Steve Harmon is on trial for murder. A Harlem drugstore owner was shot and killed in his store, and the word is that Steve served as the lookout. Guilty or innocent, Steve becomes a pawn in the hands of "the system." Steve is forced to think about who he is as he faces prison, where he may spend all the tomorrows of his life. As a way of coping with the horrific events that entangle him, Steve, an amateur filmmaker, decides to transcribe his trial into a script, but despite his efforts, reality is blurred and his vision obscured until he can no longer tell who he is or what is the truth.

BY REZA JALALI, ILLUSTRATED BY ANNE SIBLEY O'BRIEN
This moving picture book for older readers about a young Muslim girl and her family at Ramadan weaves together the traditional observance and its meaning with a lively drama of sibling rivalry.

Shirin begs to be allowed to fast, like her older brother, Ali, 12, and is furious when her family tells her she is too young. But she also learns that Ramadan is about doing good deeds to help others. Along with the information about the holiday, there is a real story here: when Shirin helps Ali, it changes their relationship and reveals the meaning of the holiday.

The Moral Imagination

The Art And Soul Of Building Peace

BY JOHN PAUL LEDERACH
John Paul Lederach's work in the field of conciliation and mediation is internationally recognized. This book represents his thinking and learning over the past several years. He explores the evolution of his understanding of peacebuilding by reflecting on his own experiences in the field. Peacebuilding, in his view, is both a learned skill and an art. Finding this art, he says, requires a worldview shift. Conflict professionals must envision their work as a creative act - an exercise of what Lederach terms the "moral imagination."

Moses

When Harriet Tubman Led Her People To Freedom

BY CAROLE BOSTON WEATHERFORD, ILLUSTRATED BY KADIR NELSON
Weatherford's poetic narrative and Kadir Nelson's magnificent paintings bear witness to an ecstatic event -- the Spirit of God communing with the flesh-and-blood of true humanity. "In this gorgeous, poetic picture book, Weatherford depicts Harriet Tubman's initial escape from slavery and her mission to lead others to freedom as divinely inspired, and achieved by steadfast faith and prayer. The author frames the text as an ongoing dialogue between Tubman and God, inserting narration to move the action along. On the eve of her being sold and torn from her family, Tubman prays in her despair. In response, God speaks in a whip-poor-will's song."-Publishers Weekly

Mystery Of Quaker Light

Php 385

BY PETER BIEN
Light is the central metaphor in the religious lives of Friends, but not of Friends alone. "The light that lighteth every person who cometh into the world" has served as an image of sacred mystery for ancient Hebrews and Greeks, for Dante, for modern poets, and for theorists on the physics of electromagnetism. What has Light meant to different people throughout the ages? How did various ideas about Light influence the prologue to John's Gospel? What did early Friends understand Light to mean? In this pamphlet, Peter Bien explores the theology and poetry of Friends' favorite religious symbol.

Mysticism And Activism

Learning From John Woolman

BY MICHAEL BIRKEL
"First we'll look at some passages from [Woolman's] writings to see how he finds the spiritual life to be a unity, an integrated life of both inward experience and outward action for social change. Next, we can turn our attention to the resources he finds for this integrated spiriutal life. Then we'll see how he takes the language he uses to describe his inward experience of worship and applies it to his outward labors for a just human society....Finally we can consider how his work might inspire us to a unified life, one in which service is an expression of worship and worship is a form of action." -The author, from his opening statements

The Definitive Translation Of The Gnostic Scriptures In One Volume

BY JAMES ROBINSON
The only complete 1 volume, modern language version of the library of fourth-century manuscripts discovered in Egypt in 1945. First published in 1978, it launched modern Gnostic studies and exposed a movement whose teachings are in many ways as relevant today as they were 16 centuries ago. James Robinson's updated introduction reflects ten years of additional research and editorial and critical work. An afterword by Richard Smith discusses the modern relevance of Gnosticism and its influence on such writers as Voltaire, Blake, Yeats, Kerouac, and Philip K. Dick.

Naming The Powers

The Language Of Power In The New Testament

BY WALTER WINK
For Wink `the Powers' are understood as social forces, religious, moral and political structures (the tyrant, the market, the school, the courts, race, and nation) They make themselves the hand servants of the worst of human emotions and motivations and facilitate actions leading to inequality, injustice and ecological destruction, making such actions appear `logical' and `inevitable,' causing good people to act accordingly, even as they may personally regret the results. This quartet of books names, unmasks and shows how one can engage with these powers producing a powerful new theology of nonviolence.
