We Are The Builders ($19 retail) has arrived from our wholesaler! A number of you asked for the book when we read it during our service a few weeks ago. It’ll make a great present for a child, a new graduate, or for some adult’s special birthday! Other books newly in our store include Therese DesCamp’s book of meditative essays, Hands Like Roots; Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott; Kobi Yamada’s children’s book, Maybe; several books about Humanism, and Barbara Coombs Lee’s book on the end of life, Finish Strong. Barbara was a member of this church and was one of the principal people in Oregon’s Death with Dignity action in the 1980s.

Thank you to several of you who have given us book recommendations. We’re ordering Surviving Autocracy, Papa’s Coming Home, Earth Prayers, The Queen Who Saved Her People (Queen Esther), Discovering the Spiritual Wisdom of Trees, and re-ordering On Tyranny (we’ve sold out twice!). New books are most often displayed on the rolling stand just outside the store of Fuller Hall.

We are very happy to do special orders! Give us the title and author’s name and we can let you know within a day if we are able to obtain the book from our wholesaler. If so, we can most often get your book within 1-4 weeks depending on the publisher. When you purchase through us about 40% goes right to the Church’s bottom line. Thank you.
