The
Dumbo Dilemma : Here is insight and direction for everyone who worries - and that's all of us. Like the legendary Dumbo, anxious people feel flawed. We try to hide our flaws lest our shame be exposed; we are afraid that others, if they knew that worst about us, might abandon us. To hide our flaws we worry or work too hard or try to become perfect or become codependent or turn to alcohol or drugs. Liek Dumbo, rather than believe inour true selves, we place our faith in these "magic feathers" outside ourselves. Only by giving up control, says the author, by having faith in ourselves and in a power we learn to be free - from control, from worry, from fear. And she helps us to make that happen. |

From that medieval society dropout Francis of Assisi to the simplicity of Jean-Marie Vianneyt, from the charming mystic Catherine to Teresa the emancipated nun, Christian Feldman's adventurers stories of men and women who turned the world upside-down by just deciding to live differently than their contemporaries brings these saints down from the pedestals subsequent generations of admirers had hosted them upon and allows them to be the human beings they really were. God's Gentle Rebels is the story of men and women who found God in the world and who loved the earth. God's Gentle Rebels presents people who experienced powerlessness, emptiness, and failure -- though they never stopped yearning for the totally Other. These are ordinary people who became extraordinary in the process of being themselves and seeking to follow God's commands -- despite the detractions, misunderstandings, and jealousies of others. |

Since the days of the early church, people have wondered about Jesus' life as a child and teenager. Now, in this fictional "gospel", the relationship between Jesus and his earthly father is explored in depth for the first time. This unique tale of biblical fiction enables Joseph, master builder and Jewish sage, to walk off the pages of scripture and into our imaginations. |

Unsworth's essays about the Catholic church are almost Chaucerian, except that the characters in his stories are not linked by a common earthly journey. These portraits range from views of diocesan scandal to tales of individual goodness to the exploits of a few sinners, as well. They'll prove entertaining for religious-minded folk and those not involved in Catholicism because they are stories about ordinary people, their problems, and their poignant moments. As Unsworth says about Buddy Charles, a saloon pianist who is also a father of four and a teacher, "He just doesn't have the kind of faith that bores God." And Unsworth just doesn't have the kind of religious writing that bores readers. His humor and insight will have wide appeal. |
