education for Mission CHASING CHAOS My Decade In and Out of Humanitarian Aid Jessica Alexander Random House (2013) $15.00 400 pages RP1506 In this honest and irreverent memoir, Jessica Alexander introduces readers to the realities of life as an aid worker. We watch as she manages a 24,000-person camp in Darfur, collects trial evidence in Sierra Leone and contributes to the massive aid effort in Haiti; we also hear about parties, romances, burnouts and self-doubt while struggling to do good in places that have long endured suffering. FAITH AND STRUGGLE ON SMOKEY MOUNTAIN Hope for a Planet in Peril Benigno P. Beltran Orbis Books (2012) $25.00 192 pages RP1513 B Smokey Mountain is a vast garbage dump in Manila, the Philippines. For some, it is a metaphor for a planet choking on garbage and waste, but for Benigno Beltran, who served as chaplain to its 25,000 scavengers for 30 years, it is a metaphor of hope, a symbol of the will to survive and the ability to create joy in the midst of abject poverty. 4

education for Mission THE GOLDEN CAGE Three Brothers, Three Choices, One Destiny Shirin Ebadi Kales Press (2011) $26.95 256 pages RP1517 History is best described through life stories told in simple ways by appealing to what human beings hold in common: the love of life and country. The Golden Cage is the story of three brothers, as told by their sister, who each subscribes to a different ideology that tears Iran and their lives apart. GOOD GOD, LOUSY WORLD AND ME The Improbable Journey of a Human Rights Activist From Unbelief to Faith Holly Burkhalter Waterbrook Multnomah (2013) $22.99 208 pages RP1518 For years, Holly Burkhalter was a heartbroken idealist working on the front lines of change around the world. A witness to brutality and injustice, she found herself often angrily, sometimes hilariously at odds with a God who seemed distant at best and tyrannical at worst. Her riveting faith memoir will spur you to explore your own questions about God s presence and seeming absence in our broken world. B 5

In Fulfilled, Kirk Byron Jones examines stillness, awareness and playfulness, three inner capabilities that every leader can access but most simply ignore or disregard. He shows you how to draw on each of them in daily life and how the fulfilled leader lives in wisdom, peace and joy, successful in all the most important ways. 6

leadership development THE NEW FEMINIST AGENDA Defining the Next Revolution for Women, Work and Family Madeleine M. Kunin Chelsea Green Publishing (2012) $17.95 304 pages RP1526 Feminists opened doors in the 1960s and 1970s. Women now make up nearly half of all medical and law students and have entered the workforce in record numbers. But are U.S. women where they thought they d be? It s time, says former U.S. Ambassador and Governor Madeleine M. Kunin, to usher in a new social revolution one that calls for the kind of policies than can improve women s lives and strengthen their families. SUM IT UP 1,098 Victories, a Couple of Irrelevant Losses and a Life in Perspective Pat Summitt Random House (2014) $16.00 416 pages RP1537 Pat Summitt, a country girl from Henrietta, Tennessee, grew up driving fast and playing hard, learning basketball playing with a homemade backboard against three brothers.

It captures the essence of this iconic institution and the principles that have sustained its 100-year history of success. Millions of American businesswomen, thought leaders and politicians received their first lessons in salesmanship, money management, marketing, teamwork and fulfillment from Girl Scouts as will millions more to come. THE END OF YOUR LIFE BOOK CLUB Will Schwalbe Random House (2012) $15.00 352 pages RP1511 The End of Your Life Book Club is the inspiring true story of a son and mother who start a book club that brings them together as her life comes to a close. Over two years, Will and Mary Anne carry on conversations that are both wide-ranging and deeply personal, prompted by a diverse selection of books and a shared passion for reading. Throughout, they and we are reminded of the power of books to comfort, astonish and teach. 8

nurturing for CoMMunity JANUARY FIRST A Child s Descent Into Madness and Her Father s Struggle to Save Her Michael Schofield Random House (2013) $15.00 320 pages RP1521 At age 6, January Schofield was diagnosed with one of the most severe cases of child-onset schizophrenia on record. Michael Schofield takes us on his journey with his daughter as they face seemingly insurmountable obstacles and daily challenges with her care and his unwavering commitment to save her from the edge of insanity while doing everything he can to keep his family together. THE ROUND HOUSE A Novel Louise Erdrich Harper Collins/Harper Perennial (2013) $15.99 368 pages RP1534 This is the story of Joe, whose life is irrevocably transformed one spring day when his mother is attacked.

nurturing for CoMMunity WHATEVER HAPPENED TO DINNER? Recipes and Reflections for Family Mealtime Melodie M. Davis Herald Press (2010) $12.99 242 pages RP1543 Whatever Happened to Dinner? invites families to eat together, even as we live in a culture that often pulls us apart. Author Melodie M. Davis examines the role food and mealtime play in the family and reminds us of why God gave us the good gift of food. WHEN PASTORS PREY Overcoming Clergy Sexual Abuse of Women Valli Boobal Batchelor (editor) World Council of Churches Publications (2013) $18.00 220 pages RP1545 While clergy abuse of children has received worldwide attention, little has been written about the more widespread and devastating phenomenon of clergy abuse of adult women. This project addresses a problem that undermines the very foundations of institutional Christianity. When Pastors Prey not only brings forward the stories of many women whose trust has been abused, it also offers a helpful framework in which to understand and address the problem. 10

social action AMERICANAH A Novel Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Random House (2014) $15.95 608 pages RP1502 Ifemelu reluctantly left Nigeria on a college scholarship and seems to have everything a Nigerian immigrant in America could desire. But culture shock, hardships and racism have left her feeling like she has cement in her soul.

May contain provocative language and content. B BEHIND THE KITCHEN DOOR Saru Jayaraman Cornell University Press (2014) $15.95 208 pages RP1504 As you enjoy your restaurant meal, have you ever wondered what s behind the kitchen door? Blending personal narrative and investigative journalism, Saru Jayaraman shows us that the quality of food that arrives at the table not only depends on the ingredients sources but on the attention and skill of the people (restaurant workers are subject to poor working conditions and live on some of the lowest wages in America) who prepare and serve. 11

social action A NEW DAWN IN BELOVED COMMUNITY Stories With the Power to Transform Us Linda Lee (general editor) and Safiyah Fosua (consulting editor) Abingdon Press (2012) $12.99 142 pages RP1525 These are stories of people, in their own words.

NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry Stacy Malkan New Society Publishers (2007) $15.95 192 pages RP1528 The beauty myth is peeled away and the industry s toxic secrets emerge in Not Just a Pretty Face.

SHOPPING Christian Explorations of Daily Living Michelle A. Gonzalez Fortress Press (2010) $15.00 128 pages RP1536 What could be more mundane or less religious than shopping? Yet every day, shopping asks us to choose our values and to weigh the good in ordinary terms.
