Book Recommendations by Marian Ferguson

Recommended by Marian Ferguson
Listening below the Noise: A Meditation on the Practice of Silence* by Anne D, LeClaire
Local author's experiment with silent Mondays grows to a way of life, a spiritual journey. Poetic version of Sue Mink Kidd's When the Heart Waits

In the Eye of the Storm: Swept to the Center by God* by Gene Robinson
A celebration of faith, affirmation of God's love for all people. A welcome opportunity to hear Robinson's own voice apart from the cacophony surrounding his position as Bishop. Read in conjunction with DVD For the Bible Tells Me So, an insightful documentary about the contemporary face of the conflict between Christian fundamentalists and gay and lesbian people. This deconstruction of thin arguments that the Bible actually condemns homosexuality focuses on four families including Robinsons's.
