Paths To Quaker Parenting

Using Quaker Beliefs, Testimonies And Practices

EDITED BY HARRIET HEATH
Parents ask questions: How should I respond to my three-year-old's whining for a cookie at 5:30? Should my nine-year-old have both an IPod and a cell phone, or neither? How do I deal with my anger when my teenager rolls his eyes and doesn't move after I've asked him to take out the trash? As Quakers parents look to their faith for guidance. How does my belief, that there is a Way, impact my parenting? How will I parent following the Peace Testimony especially when I am angry? This book is the sharing of a group of parents who have struggled with concerns such as these, have looked to their Quaker faith and found there strength and guidance.

Patience & Determination

Tools For Ending Torture

COMPILED AND EDITED BY CHUCK FAGER
This new study booklet from Quaker House is for those working to end torture and hold torturers accountable or seeking encouragement in the effort. It was produced because, despite an initial flurry of reform, the new administration in Washington has left in place many of the interrogation policies and programs of its predecessors. It has also turned aside efforts to hold accountable those who planned and carried out illegal torture policies and programs.

Paul Among The People

The Apostle Reinterpreted And Reimagined In His Own Time

BY SARAH RUDEN
Looks at the letters of Paul against the background of ancient Greek and Roman literature, especially the bawdy and comic works Biblical scholars tend not to know. Quaker scholar & Poet Sarah Ruden translates passages from these works and sets them beside famous and controversial passages of Paul and some modern interpretations. Using the early texts to explain important words, ideas, customs and institutions, she shows what Paul was likely reacting against and trying to say on such subjects as pleasure, homosexuality, women, slavery, the state, and love. She makes Paul real in his own world.

Reflections On Mercy, Activism & Doing "nothing" For Peace

BY LIN JENSEN
Every day, Lin Jensen plops down a meditation cushion on the streets of Chico, CA, and sits 'peace vigils' to protest the U.S. Iraq invasion - his effort to change the world. From his knee-level spot, Jensen encounters a bracing array of what he calls 'uprights': a heartbreakingly generous homeless man; hostile passersby who scream obscenities; 'White Wolf,' who punctuates every shout with a sharp poke to Lin's chest; compassionate soldiers - all amid rain, sun, exhaust, and the scent of azaleas. Jensen shares his struggles and helps us all learn more about humility, generosity, and what it really means to love our neighbors.

Peace

A World History

BY ANTONY ADOLF
This is what the title suggests - a look at how Peace has been striven for across the world and from the earliest days - once the author can say for certain Peace does have such a history. Much of the book though looks at recent ideas and techniques that have made Peace a reality and that could hopefully work in other situations. The author is at pains to show the peace is much more than the absence of war. Much information not easily found elsewhere.

Peace One Day

BY JEREMY GILLEY, KAREN BLESSEN
One day, a lightbulb went off in Jeremy Gilley's head: there should be one day each year when the world stops fighting and celebrates peace. And he did much more than just think about it. He traveled the globe, meeting with leaders such as Kofi Annan, Amre Moussa, Shimon Peres, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Jeremy's enthusiasm and tireless efforts convinced the governments of the world to change the UN International Day of Peace from a day that moved each year and didn't actually require anyone to stop fighting into a cease-fire day of nonviolence that would fall on September 21 every year.

Peace Week In Miss Fox's Class

BY EILEEN SPINELLI, ANNE KENNEDY
Miss Fox is tired of hearing her young students quarrel. So she announces Peace Week, no more squabbling for one whole week! The children chime in with their own rules: no fighting, don't say mean things, and help others. Throughout the week each of the little animals gets a chance to practice this new behavior. When Polecat teases Bunny for wearing a bright yellow sweater, instead of poking fun back at Polecat, Bunny admires his sweater. Soon, to their surprise, the animals are finding that it's easy to help others, take turns, and say nice things, even when someone is grumpy to them. Wouldn't it be nice, Squirrel says, if every week could be Peace Week?
