New on the Shelf!
Have You Filled a Bucket Today?
This offering by Carol McCloud is a “how to” read for children and adults to share together about giving and receiving to and from one another; the problem with “bucket tippers” and the fun of filling each others’ buckets. This book serves as a guide for programs to teach children at several other churches.
Stories That Feed Your Soul
Tony Campolo’s collection of personal stories divided into eight groups, ranging from “Intimacy With God”, to “The Call to Rescue Creation” to “God’s Plan for Us.” Tony reminds us that Jesus was a story teller and that these small narratives convey large messages.
Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus
A very large and handsome catalogue of the exhibit by the same name, currently appearing through the end of October at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This is the first Rembrandt exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum and is the result of a collaboration with the the Musee de Louvre in Paris, the first such achievement as well. Rembrandt was a young artist in Amsterdam during the time of an influx of Jewish immigrants. He became convinced that the faces of the young Jewish men were likely to be more like that of Jesus than the iconic images with which all were familiar. Thus began the creation of these amazing portraits.
