Molly's Family

BY NANCY GARDEN, ILLUSTRATED BY SHARON WOODING
"In this long-overdue alternative to Leslea Newman's groundbreaking, but one-dimensional Heather Has Two Mommies (1989), a kindergartner has a quiet crisis when a classmate confidently informs her that she can't have both a mommy and a Mama. But Molly does, and Tommy's comment not only requires some calming explanations at home from Molly's Mommy and Mama Lu, but sparks an eye-opening conversation about different family situations in class, too." - Kirkus Reviews.

Money And Faith

The Search For Enough With Henri Nouwen, Ched Myers Et Al

BY MICHAEL SCHUT
Talking about money in a personal way remains more of a taboo than sex or politics. This seems odd within a Christian context since Jesus addressed topics of money, poverty and wealth more than probably any other concern. For many, money becomes an idol; it certainly has for our culture as we pursue "economic growth" no matter the cost to the overall well-being of God's entire creation. Where money is an idol, "enough" is always more than we have right now, and scarcity becomes the lens through which we see the world. On a personal level this book opens up issues of scarcity and abundance, idolatry and freedom; on a societal level it invites exploration of greater equity and sustainability.

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."

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
