The materials for telling Let your lives Speak. "When we listen, deep down, we know what is right. Sometimes what is right can be hidden and hard to discern. At other times, what is right may be clear, but following through may be, for some reason, difficult. When Friends both listen for what is right and live in ways that reflect that truth, they are showing INTEGRITY. The word integrity means whole, complete, undivided, and that's the way it feels when we live with integrity." F& P Creations

Letter To A Godchild Concerning Faith

BY REYNOLDS PRICE
Price recounts how his life has been shaped by numerous and varied spiritual influences, from the Bible-story books his parents bought him before he could read, to the childhood days spent exploring dense woods near his home, to Sundays at church with his father and mother, his travels around the world to magisterial structures as various as St. Peter's and the old Penn Station, and years of study both in and out of the classroom. With no trace of self-pity, he explains how his faith grew and deepened when in 1984 after a life of robust health he suffered a cancer that eventually led to paralysis of his lower body.

Letters From Lillian

Faith And Practice Among Modern Liberal Quakers

BY ELIZABETH BOARDMAN
A lively, imaginary correspondence is used to describe ordinary life among American Quakers in "unprogrammed" Friends Meetings where there is no pastor. Lillian is one of the committed volunteer members who facilitate the silent Meetings for Worship, run the consensus-based business sessions, and sort out theological and ethical issues. She tells her curious friend, Marla, that participants are "seekers." Based in the Christian tradition, Quakers share just one absolute concept: that there is a divine spark in every human being which is to be protected and nurtured. The consequences of that one principle extend to every part of a Quaker life.

Letters To A Young Mystic

With Responses From Sam

BY JUDITH LUMB
When one feels led by the Spirit to a particular action, as I do in writing this, one cannot take credit for the product. I feel less invested in getting recognition than I did in the past, though I cannot say it is completely gone. Humility is a difficult thing to achieve. Striving for it is not a humble act. I have to keep reminding myself of the process by which it came. I had a different plan for today. I thought I was through with these letters. But as I was waking up this morning, this piece was forming in my head.

Letters To A Young Doubter

BY WILLIAM SLOANE-COFFIN
In Letters to a Young Poet, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke advised to "be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves," for gradually, "you will live into the answers." These words have long struck renowned preacher and activist William Sloane Coffin as a wise way to view a growing and evolving life. In an exchange of letters over the months of an academic year, Coffin writes an imagined friend, a bright, young college student, answering his questions and giving his typically sage advice about problems of faith, the difficulties of personal life, and the ever-more confusing and complex problems of today's world.

Letters To A Young Poet

BY RAINER MARIA RILKE, TRANSLATED BY M. D. HERTER NORTON
Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1903 Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, still a fresh source of inspiration and insight, are accompanied here by a chonicle of Rilke's life that shows what he was experiencing in his own relationship to life and work when he wrote them.

Liberty, Equality, And Justice

Civil Rights, Women's Rights, And The Regulation Of Business, 1865-1932

ROSS EVANS PAULSON
studies social and intellectual changes in a critical period of American history--from the end of the Civil War to the early days of the Depression--and argues that attempts to achieve civil rights, women's rights, and the regulation of business faltered because so many Americans ranked liberty for themselves higher than equality with others and justice for all. He integrates the experiences of diverse populations--including African Americans, women, Asian immigrants, Native Americans, and working people--and offers a new interpretation of the ways in which social change and political events interact to reframe the many possibilities of American society.

The Librarian Of Basra

A True Story From Iraq

BY JEANNETTE WINTER
"When war seemed imminent, Alia Muhammad Baker, chief librarian of Basra's Central Library, was determined to protect the library's holdings. In spite of the government's refusal to help, she moved the books into a nearby restaurant only nine days before the library burned to the ground. When the fighting moved on, this courageous woman transferred the 30,000 volumes to her and her friends' homes to await peace and the rebuilding of a new library....Winter artfully achieves a fine balance between honestly describing the casualties of war and not making the story too frightening for young children.... It is in the illustrations ... that Winter suggests the impending horror." - SLJ

Lies My Teacher Told Me

Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong

BY JAMES LOEWEN
After surveying 18 leading American history texts the author found not one made a good job of making history interesting or memorable. Marred by an embarrassing combination of blind patriotism, mindless optimism, sheer misinformation, and outright lies, these books omit almost all the ambiguity, passion, conflict, and drama from our past. In this revised edition, packed with updated material, Loewen explores how historical myths continue to be perpetuated in today's climate and adds an eye-opening chapter on the lies surrounding 9/11 and the Iraq War. Thought provoking, nonpartisan, and often shocking.
