The Comforting Whirlwind

God, Job And The Scale Of Creation

BY BILL MCKIBBEN
In The Comforting Whirlwind, acclaimed environmentalist and writer Bill McKibben turns to the biblical book of Job and its awesome depiction of creation to demonstrate our need to embrace a bold new paradigm for living if we hope to reverse the current trend of ecological destruction. With reference to the consequences of our poorly considered and self-centered environmental practices-global warming, ozone degradation, deforestation-McKibben combines modern science and timeless biblical wisdom to make the case that growth and economic progress are not only undesirable but deadly.

Coming Of Age In Mississippi

BY ANNE MOODY
Written without a trace of sentimentality or apology, this is an unforgettable personal story, the truth as a remarkable young woman named Anne Moody lived it. To read her book is to know what it is to have grown up black in Mississippi in the forties and fifties, and to have survived with pride and courage intact. In this now classic autobiography, she details the sights, smells, and suffering of growing up in a racist society and candidly reveals the soul of a black girl who had the courage to challenge it. The result is a touchstone work: an accurate, authoritative portrait of black family life in the rural South and a moving account of a woman's indomitable heart.

Compassion

The Painful Privilege

BY DAN NOLTA
Evangelical Quaker Dan Nolta grew up in a family torn apart by alcohol and divorce. He believes no life experience is a throwaway with God, nothing is wasted-neither the good times nor bad times, neither the pain nor the privilege. Here Dan shares how God gifted him with compassion and led him to work in the Pierce County (Washington) Sheriff's Department as a chaplain. Vivid examples from Dan's ministry will give you a front row seat to see the inherent costs of exercising compassion-the stress, vicarious suffering, and fatigue. He lets you in on what he's learned about persevering through the difficulties of the compassionate life, and how to enjoy the rewards with humility.

The Composition

BY ANTONIO SKARMETA, ALFONSO RUANO
In a village in Chile, Pedro and Daniel are two typical nine-year-old boys. Up until Daniel's father gets arrested, their biggest worry had been how to improve their soccer skills. Now, they are thrust into a situation where they must grapple with the incomprehensible: dictatorship and its inherent abuses. This sensitively realized story touches a nerve and brings home the uncomfortable fact that some children do encounter issues of this magnitude. Deft realism is brought to the page by Antonia Skarmeta's story and the edgy drawings of Alfonso Ruano, portraying a child's view of a repressive society.

Confident Quakerism

BY BEN PINK DANDELION
After a personal crisis shook his confidence in himself, Ben Pink Dandelion considered seriously the spiritual meaning of "confidence" (literally, to live and act "with faith"). His reflections led him to delve more deeply into early Friends' understandings about spiritual growth and religious development, and to apply those principles to the community of Friends as we practice our faith today. His insights are especially meaningful for liberal Friends, individually and as a society, as we look toward the future. This essay is based on Ben's 2009 FGC Gathering address and a subsequent presentation at Pendle Hill. Discussion questions included.

Living Stories About Living Systems

BY LINDA BOOTH SWEENEY

A Balinese folktale tells the story of a gecko who cannot sleep because of the sparks from a firefly. He traces the cause of his complaint from one animal to another to the mosquitoes he depends on for his survival. Like this gecko, young readers will understand that all life is inter-related, and will be able to grasp the concept of the living system of "interdependence." - Raffi
