Who Will Roll Away The Stone?

Discipleship Queries For First World Christians

BY CHED MYERS
Myers exposes the social and spiritual "stones" that impede us in our development and growth as Christians. "In every age," writes Myers, "disciples despair that the story has ended, only to discover that again the stone 'has been rolled away,' reopening the possibility - and imperative - of following the Way of Jesus." He uses three of the most troubling and problematic of recent events - the Los Angeles riots, the Gulf War, the Columbus quincentennial - to demonstrate how the subtle complexities of a culture of technological wizardy, information overload, and short-term memory can be recognized as blocking the first step on the journey of discipleship.

The Whole Green World

BY TONY JOHNSTON, ILLUSTRATED BY ELISA KLEVEN
After putting on her red shoes, a girl and her shaggy dog set out to plant the whole world. During the course of their imaginary journey they have many helpers - birds, insects, and sun among them - and then return home to wait for the magic of spring. A catchy and rhythmic poem and collages infused with a riot of detail and color make this the perfect book for those who cherish all the things that beautify the earth. "Amid swirls of brightly colored birds, bugs, seeds, leaves, wild creatures, buildings and people, a child ties her shoes, then goes out to plant, nurture and spread a garden-all to the tune of Johnston's song-like verses." - Kirkus Reviews

Why We're Losing The War On Terror

BY PAUL ROGERS
The war on terror seems a lost cause. Well over 100,000 civilians have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, many tens of thousands have been detained without trial, and torture, and prisoner abuse have sullied the reputation of the US in the world. Paul Rogers, the Quaker professor of Peace Studies at Bradford University looks at this failure and its causes. He argues that the war may have a huge, if unexpected, bonus. Its very failure will make it possible to completely rethink western attitudes to global security, moving towards a sustainable policy that will be much more effective in addressing the real threats to global security - the widening socio-economic divide and climate change.
