2016-2017 Catalog
Dear Friends,
I am excited to share new titles and products with you, as well as to highlight
books that will continue to be inspirational and useful resources. You will want to explore Fredric Muir’s Turning Point: Essays on a New Unitarian
Universalism, which contains essays from 20 Unitarian Universalist leaders
issuing a clarion call for change in the denomination. This is a must-read for
anyone interested in moving our faith forward in new ways.
Nathan C. Walker’s new book, Cultivating Empathy: The Worth and Dignity of
Every Person—Without Exception, is particularly relevant when we see such
ideological polarization in our country. Personal essays detail Walker’s own
struggles with the temptation to demonize or romanticize others.
We also have two new books of spiritually deep stories perfect for all ages.
Ancient Stories for Modern Times by Faye Mogensen, a compilation of 50
short folk stories from around the world, will expand your repertoire of
teaching stories, and Katha Sagar, Ocean of Stories by Sarah Conover and Abhi
Janamanchi, is a beautifully illustrated collection of Hindu stories that illuminates
this rich and ancient tradition.
We’ve also expanded our line of products to help you proudly display your UU
identity—clothing, messenger bags, journals, luggage tags, coasters, and more.
Also, this is the place to get your Standing on the Side of Love gear.
As always, your search for truth and meaning begins here.

Cultivating Empathy
The Worth and Dignity of Every Person—
Without Exception
Nathan C. Walker
In this personal exploration of conflict, the author introduces a creative way to develop empathetic responses.

executives. He offers a model that can help us all nurture
greater empathy for those we have previously held in
contempt.

Landscapes of Aging and
Spirituality
Essays
Kathleen Montgomery, Editor
In a collection of lovely essays, 19 writers reflect on the
experience of aging and the ways it intersects with their
spiritual lives. Alternately tender and frank, funny and
wistful, these heartfelt ruminations offer companionship
for those walking the journey of later life. The authors,
many of them retired ministers, ponder growing older
as a spiritual path—not one that we choose but one that
has chosen us.
KATHLEEN (KAY) MONTGOMERY was the first
woman and first layperson to become executive vice
president of the Unitarian Universalist Association. She
held that role from 1985 until her retirement in 2013,
serving in the administrations of four UUA presidents.

Defying the Nazis
The Sharps’ War
Artemis Joukowsky
This fascinating portrait of resistance tells the littleknown story of Unitarian Minister Rev. Waitstill Sharp
and his social worker wife, Martha, an otherwise ordinary couple whose faith and commitment to social
justice inspired them to undertake dangerous rescue and
relief missions across war-torn Europe saving the lives
of countless refugees, political dissidents, and Jews. This
compulsively readable true story offers a rare glimpse at
high-stakes international relief efforts during WWII.
ARTEMIS JOUKOWSKY, grandson of the Sharps, has
spent decades researching his grandparents’ story. Additionally, he has devoted much of his life’s work to improving the experience of living with multiple disabilities.

Between the World and Me
Ta-Nehisi Coates
This profound work pivots from the biggest questions
about American history and ideals to the intimate concerns of a father, offering a powerful new framework for
understanding our nation’s history and current crisis.
Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a
falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on
the bodies of black women and men. How can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves
from its burden? Coates illuminates the past, confronts
our present, and offers a transcendent vision forward.
TA-NEHISI COATES, former staff writer at The Village Voice and Time, has contributed to The New York
Times Magazine, The Atlantic, and numerous other
publications.

Last Stop on Market Street
Matt De La Peña
llustrated by Christian Robinson
Every Sunday after church, CJ and his grandma ride the
bus across town. But today, CJ wonders why they don’t
own a car like his friend Colby. Why doesn’t he have an
iPod like the other boys? How come they always have
to get off in the dirty part of town? Each question is met
with an encouraging answer from grandma, who helps
him see the beauty and fun in their routine and in the
world around them. Ages 3-5.
MATT DE LA PENA received his MFA from San Diego
State University and his BA from the University of the
Pacific. He teaches creative writing.

I Am Jazz
Jessica Herthel and Jazz Jennings
Illustrated by Shelagh McNicholas
From the time she was two, Jazz knew that she had a
girl’s brain in a boy’s body. She didn’t feel like herself in
boys’ clothing. This confused her family until they took
her to a doctor who said that Jazz was transgender and
that she was born that way. Jazz’s story, told simply and
clearly, is based on her real-life experiences. Ages 4-8.
JESSICA HERTHEL directs the Stonewall National
Education Project, which networks LGBTQ-inclusive
school districts and develops educational materials.
JAZZ JENNINGS is an honorary co-founder of the
TransKids Purple Rainbow Foundation. She is twelve
years old.
SHELAGH MCNICHOLAS has illustrated many books
for children.

Transgender Teens Speak Out
Susan Kulkin
This groundbreaking work of LGBT literature takes an
honest look at the life, love, and struggles of transgender teens. Portraits and family photos grace its pages,
augmenting the emotional and physical journey each
youth has taken. Each honest disclosure, whether joyful
or heartbreaking, is completely different from the others
because of family dynamics, living situations, gender, and
the transition each teen makes in recognition of their
true selves. Ages 14 & up.
SUSAN KULKIN, award-winning author and photographer of more than 30 books for children and young
adults addressing social and cultural issues, has had
her work appear in documentaries, newspapers, and
magazines including Time and Newsweek.
