Purim Goodies
What an apt title! Here is a Purim goodie with a new tack - holiday unfettered by bible story - and with legs - based on a work by Sholom Aleichem. Author/illustrator Amalia Hoffman focuses on the tradition of shalach manes through a delightful Yiddish tale, humorous characters, and delicious Purim treats. The moral, delivered by the rabbi, is as digestible as the entire picture book. Two ...

The Bridge to Understanding ...
This book is a wonderful introduction for children ages 7 - 12 to learn about two different religious traditions. It shows the means to build understanding and tolerance. The book would be of great benefit to parents, one of whom is of the Catholic faith and the other of Jewish faith. The book clearly illustrates how the leader of the Catholic Church welcomes a Jewish boy and his mother to his ...

El loro en el horno, mi vida

Victor Martinez, Amalia Bermejo

Lectorum Publications, 1998

Growing up Hispanic in California of the 1960's
This is a semi-autobigraphical story of a poverty-ridden, dysfunctional family that many urban, American-born Hispanic students aged 12-18 years old may well identify with. I taught it to grades 6-8, and students were mesmerized by the poetic language (Mr.Martinez is a published poet), realistic episodes, true-to-life characters, and Jerry Springer-like trauma-drama.These characters may appear ...

Anchor, 2006

Brilliant
I've read a few of the reviews and I cannot understand where they are coming from. First of all the book is a fictional one, no one said it was true, secondly even if it were true ,so what? It's not like someones committed murder ,Jesus happens to marry and settle down, what could be more natural and lastly just enjoy the book for what it is ,a wonderful read!

Ana Amalia Guzman Molina

Ecumenical Program, 2003

Power of Love
I can't recall an autobiography with as many poignant moments as Amalia Molina's story. The detention diary is not embellished nor over-sensationalized. Its power is its tranparency, simplicity and truth. A reader will want to know more about her children and the world beyond the walls, but the pages only reveal so much. Readers sit with powerful questions, emotions and images, yet one is ...

Food Network Kitchens

Food Network Kitchens, 2004

Great variety and taste from experts. Recommended
`making it easy' is the second cookbook from the kitchen staff of the `food network'. Like the first volume, none of the Food Network's celebrity chefs are even mentioned in the book, and there is no reference to any of their programs in any of the recipes. And, as a religious watcher of Food Network shows, I see no celebrity chef fingerprints on any of the recipes. Making food fast is a very ...

A Dramatic and Forgotten Legal Episode
The sexually transmitted diseases we have now are in addition to the ones we had a century ago. Syphilis is no longer the horror that it was because of antibiotics that were first used sixty years ago, although the problem of resistance means that it may regain its status as a sexual scourge. What it will never again regain is its danger of being transmitted from infants to their wet nurses. ...

In an unnamed town in the Ecuadorian Andes, a small wooden icon—La Virgen Pipona (the Potbellied Virgin)—conceals the documents that define the town's social history. That history recently has been dominated by the women of the Benavides family, a conservative clan and, not coincidentally, the caretakers of the Virgin. Their rivals are the Pandos, a family led by four old men who spend their days smoking in the park across from the ...

Grove Press, 2001

Hauntingly Powerful
Gorgeous prose graces every page of this book! The ending is one of the truly all-time greats -- the work of a master at his peak. The story will appeal to anyone who has ever wondered about the meaning of faith. Don't be put off by the book's small size -- this novel packs a punch, well after you've put it down!
