  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. This is a book for seekers of all races, ethnicities, and spiritual paths who search for that elusive goal of a community of love and inclusion that also respects our diversity.

   Today's tip for parents from two talented teachers comes from  365 Teacher Secrets for Parents  by Cindy McKinley Alder and Patti Trombly. #60 Your Role   You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.  ~Oliver Goldsmith               Your child is in school about 6 1/2 hours a day. His teacher is responsible for helping him learn during this time for about 180 days a year. There is the same number of days each year that your child does not have a schoolteacher to help him. However, he does have a teacher—YOU!             You are your child’s first teacher, guiding him first to walk and talk and then later to read and write and more. Learning is continuous and does not end when your child walks out of his school building. In fact, it can be just getting started. There is so much you can do at home to supplement what yo...

  a happy Shenan (CB) lounging with a happy Murjan  March 1 and business taxes loom big: due the Ides of March. (Not a very perspicacious day....)

  What is a book jewel? A sometimes-overlooked book with remarkable insight and potential significance. Each month, we share near-daily, or as often as possible, reviews of the monthly book jewel - short, succinct reviews that can be read in 1-2 minutes with links to the reviewer by reviewers whose words are worthy of being heard and whose opinions are worthy of being considered. Sometimes a couple of minutes contains more impressive thought than ten times that many. We will let you decide that. This month's book jewel is  Road Map to Power  by Syed and Darius Husain . Description What is the true source of authentic power? Offering a detour from the dead end of this "buy more, be more" culture, the authors demonstrate why the traditional routes to power are accessible only for an elite few. Wrapping warm, profound stories of empowerment around an extensive body of research, Road Map to Power is your guide to a life of dignity, satisfaction, and happiness. keywords: authe...
