The church provides a natural environment for all-ages gatherings. But, as Edward Loper reminds us, 'There was a time, not all that long ago, when we did not need to intentionally talk about the relationships between generations. The relationships were plain for all to see. Most of us lived in the context of an extended family. Members of several generations lived in a close proximity to one another, kenw each other, and supported each other. This is no longer the case.' It is time, once again, to become intentional in building connections among the generations.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Seldom does a teacher come along with the ability to take the exuberance of spiritual joy and put it on a page in lessons of graceful simplicity and life-giving power. But in Colors of the Spirit, readers are introduced to just such a teacher in Dorothy Ederer. Here she shares her own prescription for a fulfilling life, and illustrates it with the stories of those who have enriched her own journey. You will see in these stories people who looked inside themselves and discovered the potential God gave them to touch others. These individuals were the colors that brightened Dorothy's world, a world which was sometimes darkened by the hopelessness she encountered in her work as a counselor and teacher. Yet she found that just as white light is filtered through raindrops to create a rainbow, so too is God's light filtered through all of creation and manifested in each being in a unique way. In Colors of the Spirit, Ederer goes through each color of the rainbow to share the special meanings they have for her, and how the qualities they represent can bring us peace and joy in our own lives.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. When seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Byrne enters the convent in the shadow of World War II, she's driven by faith, a desire to be of service like her soldier older brother, and perhaps a bit of fear of the real world that was looming after high school. Two years later, after her time in a St. Louis novitiate, Sister Elizabeth Mary is turned loose-with no training, not even a basic college education-to teach seventy-two third- and fourth-graders in one room. Thus begins her education in the "real world" of patriarchal American Catholic life as the post-war baby boom heats up and nuns are the unpaid labor to educate thousands of children. New Art follows Byrne from her idealistic youth through the turbulence of the late 1960s, including upheaval in the Catholic church, when the foundation she has built her life upon becomes shaky, and she must find a way to forge a new life for herself. This debut novel is a tribute to female friendship, faith, and the powerful spirit of community.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Far to the north along the Pacific coast of Canada lies an area where abundant rainfall nourishes everything from bright green grasses and colorful wildflowers to ancient, towering cedar, spruce, and sitka trees. This rainforest is the perfect habitat for salmon and a wide variety of birds, insects, and animals, most notably a unique type of black bear called the spirit bear, which is sometimes clothed in creamy white fur and has become legendary among the First Nation people who live in the region. Noted naturalist Dorothy Hinshaw Patent describes the elusive spirit bear and its home, which is in danger of being destroyed by loggers and settlers as they clear-cut the ancient forests for lumber. Every part of the delicate ecosystem is threatened. But steps are now being taken to set aside a protected spirit bear sanctuary--a living museum where people could come and see the spirit bear's realm. The beautiful, detailed watercolors by Deborah Milton will transport readers to this magnificent yet vanishing region. Milton, Deborah (illustrator).…
