$10.95 each, six or more copies for $8.25 each, plus shipping and handling. Find 'Families Re-Membered' and place an order at http://www.chirhopress.com/products/hivaids.html.
Dr. Kavar holds the degree of Master of Arts from the Institute of Formative Spirituality at Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, in spirituality and Doctorate of Philosophy from the School of Education at the University of Pittsburgh in counseling. He is an ordained United Church of Christ minister.
Now More Than Ever, we recommend 'Called OUT' to our Presbyterian sisters and brothers. This is a book not only for Presbyterians, of course, but for all people who love God and seek to do God's will of justice and peace. Read this book and hear the authentic voice of Presbyterian Christianity. ($17.95 each.)
Now More Than Ever, we also recommend an excellent book by Presbyterian layperson, the eloquent and brilliant Chris Glaser. 'Come Home!' is one of Chris' best books and we are proud to have published it. ($19.95 each.)
Now More Than Ever, people need to read 'The Bible and Homosexuality' by the Rev. Michael England, a basic primer on the few passages that have been incorrectly interpreted as referring to homosexuality. ($10.95 each.)
Now More Than Ever, people need to read Dr. Rembert Truluck's brilliant 'Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse.' Dr. Truluck's Steps to healing and wholeness continued to be our best seller and a must-read book for any believer's library. ($24.95 each.)
Now More Than Ever, 'Positively Gay,' edited by Dr. Betty Berzon, provides helpful articles about many aspects of gay life. ($14.95 each.)
And Now More Than Ever, we round out our sextet of recommended books with 'The Road to Emmaus,' a book of daily devotions written by and for the LGBT community. All six of these books are available on our Web site, of course. ($9.95 each.)
(All prices are for single copies, orders of six or more copies on the Web site will automatically include a generous discount, and shipping and handling will be added to all orders.)
Make an Easter-tide gift to your church or seminary library or local library. Buy books!
Only the truth can combat hatred and evil. Help make the truth of God's all-inclusive love available to as many people as possible.
Working three jobs does tend to take a toll on me! Our faithful readers may not be aware, but I have a full-time secular job at a wonderful company called Westat in Rockville, Maryland.
Then of course is my work with the Press, most evenings and weekends. The Press is truly a labor of love for me and I am gratified when people support and encourage this ministry. I have a wonderful board and Kevin Fries' work as the Press' editor is excellent. They are all a real blessing to me and to this ministry. And you all are a great blessing as well. Your encouraging notes, purchases of our books and other products, and contributions are what keep us going, not only as a small business, but as a ministry of the Gospel.
But, stained glass has become almost a third job for me. I still make the five stained glass pieces we sell on the Chi Rho Press Web site (http://www.chirhopress.com/products/stainedglass.html). I am almost finished with the second of four windows for my home church, Holy Redeemer MCC, College Park Maryland. And I have a large commission waiting for me to complete the church windows which will be very lucrative! Stained glass work is relaxing and creative for me and I enjoy it a great deal, though I don't often have time to work in the stained glass workshop as much as I would like (or need to!).
Spring has finally come to the Washington DC area and flowers and trees are showing the beauty of God's creation in that special Easter way!
Thanks for being a part of this ministry and thanks for your support!
