  Today's Publisher's Pride is  Since Sinai  by Shannon Gonyou, which reached #64 in biographies of Judaism. Since Sinai has appeared in Amazon best-selling categories nearly every week since its release.

  Today's Publisher's Pride is  One Family Indivisible  by Steven Greenebaum, which reached #88 in Unitarian Universalism, #148 among the top Amazon sellers in the category of Christian ecumenism and #416 in Jewish biographies. Book Description: Throughout history we have divided ourselves into groupings of "us" and "them".  One Family: Indivisible  engagingly invites the reader into the deeply spiritual and lifelong journey of the author to find a way to acknowledge our differences without dividing and subdividing ourselves into competing tribes. It is a journey of mountain tops and deep valleys, but it leads to the inclusivity and mutual respect possible with Interfaith.
