Celebrating the Great Mother: A Handbook of Earth-Honoring Activities for Parents and Children 19 reviews
Cait Johnson, Maura D. Shaw
Destiny Books, 1995
Wonderful Family Resource!
As I was paging through looking for ideas to celebrate the summer solstice, I was prompted to finally write a review of this wonderful book! This book is a wonderful family resource. It is ripe with good ideas and lots of them--I find there is such a wealth of ideas that it is easy to pick and choose just a couple to use for each holiday and when you refer to the book again it is like it is brand ...

Celebrating Ramadan3 reviews
Diane Hoyt-Goldsmith, Lawrence Migdale
Holiday House, 2002
Good to Promote Understanding
I have this book for my kids, and I donated a copy to my son's school. They loved it. It's about real people in the United States and how they celebrate Ramadan and Eid (the holiday that follows). They even have a recipe for traditional cookies! The only problem is that one gets the impression that Muslim children are supposed to fast during Ramadan, and that's not the case - fasting is only ...

Children Matter: Celebrating their Place in the Church, Family and Community2 reviews
Beth Posterski, Linda Cannell, ...
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2005
Great ideas for refreshing pilgrimage of a child with God
Although this book is written by a group of educators it is one of the best books I have ever read on children's spirituality and show us with many examples how the faith community can nurture its youngest members. Children Matter emphasized relationships between people and encourages the church to welcome all children as valued participants in the people of God.
A wide range of examples from ...

Celebrating the Disciplines: A Journal Workbook to Accompany ``Celebration of Discipline''2 reviews
Richard J. Foster
HarperOne, 1992
great resource for additional study
This guide really brings home the concepts explored in Foster's book on Disciplines. If you're interested in delving into those area in a deeper way, you'll probably enjoy this guide. It actually allows you to go through it several times (which is unusual for these types of guides), personally or in larger groups). I really appreciated it.

Celebrating Birch: The Lore, Art, and Craft of an Ancient Tree5 reviews
The North House Folk School
Fox Chapel Publishing, 2007
A BOOK I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
Living in the northwoods & being a wood artist, I love Birch and have used it for many years with my pyrography. I have experimented with the bark and tried to understand how to use it best, which this book explains clearly. Unfortunately for all of us who love this tree/wood, many of our birch are dying off from drought/fires/etc. If you are a person in search of a light colored, strong, easy ...

Celebrating Interfaith Marriages: Creating Your Jewish/Christian Ceremony21 reviews
Devon A. Lerner
Holt Paperbacks, 1999
A great resource
This book was great at providing structure and helping us understand our options when we wrote our own wedding ceremony (a Jew marrying a Catholic, with sensitivity to the pagans and atheists/agnostics attending). We lent our copy to two couples we know who got married after us (a nonpracticing Jew marrying a nonpracticing Christian; and a Jew marrying a Catholic/Quaker). I know that each of ...

Streams of Living Water: Celebrating the Great Traditions of Christian Faith18 reviews
Richard J. Foster
HarperOne, 2001
Simply Excellent
The more I read of Richard Foster, the more I like his style. As is always the case in his books, Foster's Streams of Living Water presents a well categorized methodical approach to understanding the Christian faith. In this case, he focuses on what he calls the "Traditions" of the faith.
Other reviews have detailed the Traditions of which Foster speaks. So, I'll comment on the structure of ...

Celebrating Home: Decorating for the Holidays and Seasons (Seasons of Cannon Falls) 9 reviews
Seasons of Cannon Falls
Watson-Guptill, 2005
Beautifully Done!
This is a lovely book. If you are looking for a "how-to" decorate for different holidays book that is full of instructions, this is NOT the book for you. The photography in this book makes it pretty enough to be a coffee table book, though there is nothing new nor especially innovative in the way of decorating. Perhaps it will inspire you to look at your own things in a new light and ultimately ...

Celebrating the Mass: A Guide for Understanding and Loving the Mass More Deeply4 reviews
Alfred McBride
Our Sunday Visitor, 1999
Excellent teaching / learning aid on Eucharist
I have used this book for several years now when working with adults learning about the Eucharist. It has everything I want: solid theology, pictures and explanations, and all of the parts of the mass. I use this with RCIA (new Catholics) and with adults who have been away from the church for a long time. I recommend it highly.
