Ten Stories Of Love And Family
BY MICHELLE BATES DEAKIN This intimate account of ten same-sex couples brings to life how the decision to marry has affected them and their extended families. These personal journeys present a range of experiences, from a mother who became a gay rights activist when her youngest child came out as a lesbian, to a girl whose realization that her fathers were not married spurred the men to join the gay marriage lawsuit in Massachusetts, to a lesbian couple and devoted mothers of twins who fight for same-sex adoption rights in Oklahoma. Deakin chronicles both their private strides toward acceptance and their public struggles to advance gay rights.

The Life Of James Forten
BY JULIE WINCH "Less than a decade ago, Forten remained a footnote in books on U.S. and African-American history. This new critical biography, the first serious work on his life and legacy, not only restores him to his rightful place in American history, but also presents readers with an invigorating and challenging new portrait of pre- and post-Revolutionary race relations and identities....The strength of the book, aside from rediscovering Forten, is the careful and often surprising research into the complexity of African-American life in the 18th and early 19th centuries." - Publishers Weekly

A Historian Looks At Early America
BY EDMUND S MORGAN An interesting collection of essays on the history of early America, that somehow includes Andy Warhol but omits Quakers - even William Penn. Useful for its Southern and slavery sections, and if you read carefully about "Puritans" you can also learn much, not least about "Bundling", an unusual approved method of testing a marriage before the vows.

Audio Cd
BY CARRIE NEWCOMER This CD was in part influenced by Newcomer's friendships and recent collaborations with influential authors and theologians, including Parker Palmer, Phillip Gulley, Jim Wallis, Scott Russell Sanders and Barbara Kingsolver. Many of the album's tracks examine compelling ideas and questions arising out of her relationships within this Quakerly community - the idea that things are not always as they appear; that good exists at the center of things; that life is a process of transformation; that there is value in simple things; that wholeness is not beyond our reach. Through her songs, she asks: What is the nature of justice? Where do we turn for strength?

Underground Railroad & Civil Rights Freedom Songs, Volume 2
BY KIM AND REGGIE HARRIS Black gospel spirituals often served to assert both a hope for a better life and to convey coded directions to runaway slaves heading north on the Underground Railroad. Many of these same songs became anthems of the Civil Rights movement of the 60s, their messages of faith and determination stoking freedom marches and rallies. Artists include Bernice Johnson Reagon, renowned musician, teacher, activist and founder of Sweet Honey in the Rock; actor Danny Glover; contemporary folk-blues performer Guy Davis and many others.

Living In The Cross, A Path To Joy And Liberation - Php 391
BY BRIAN DRAYTON What does it really mean to absorb the learning that comes from our "roots" in Quakerism? Are there ways of approaching our roots that have a greater likelihood of bearing spiritual fruits? Brian Drayton explores the idea of "rootedness" at multiple levels - as metaphor, discipline and goal in order to reveal the ways in which we may derive the most nourishment from the roots that we seek to rediscover, and more importantly, so that God's spirit may flourish within and through us. Discussion questions included.

The Fossil War Between Cpe And Marsh And The Rise Of American Science
BY MARK JAFFE The second half of the 19th century - the so-called Gilded Age -was also when scientists began finding dinosaur fossils across the western half of the nation. Could the answer to the history of life and the proof of evolution be found in these bones? That was the question two young American paleontologists - Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh - set out to answer. But what began as a friendly contestsoon turned into a bitter rivalry that would spill over into American science and politics and rage relentlessly for three decades. And despite his Quakerism, Edward Drinker Cope, like many of his colleagues, would prove to be ruthlessly competitive.

A Novel
BY MARILYNNE ROBINSON Twenty-four years after her first novel, Housekeeping, Marilynne Robinson returns with an intimate tale of three generations from the Civil War to the twentieth century: a story about fathers and sons and the spiritual battles that still rage at America's heart. Writing in the tradition of Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, Marilynne Robinson's beautiful, spare, and spiritual prose allows "even the faithless reader to feel the possibility of transcendent order" (Slate). In the luminous and unforgettable voice of Congregationalist minister John Ames, Gilead reveals the human condition and the often unbearable beauty of an ordinary life.

BY NATHALIE ABI - EZZI In her peaceful town outside Beirut, Ruba is slowly awakening to the shifting contours within her household: hardly speaking and refusing to work, her father has withdrawn from his family; her once-youthful mother looks so sad that Ruba imagines her heart has withered like a fig in the heat; and Ruba's brother is secretly meeting with older boys, some of whom carry guns. This is a coming-of-age story sparked, but not consumed, by violence and loss. This poetic debut captures both a country and a childhood plagued by a conflict that even at its most threatening, carries the promise of healing and retribution.
