A groundbreaking book about Americans searching for faith
and mutual respect, The Faith Club weaves the
story of three women, their three religions, and their
urgent quest to understand one another. After
September 11, Ranya Idliby, an American Muslim of
Palestinian descent, faced constant questions about
Islam, God, and death from her children, the only
Muslims in their classrooms. Inspired by a story about
Muhammad, Ranya reached out to two other mothers to
write an interfaith children's book that would
highlight the connections between Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam. After just a few meetings, however, the
women realized that they themselves needed an honest
and open environment where they could admit -- and discuss
-- their concerns, stereotypes, and misunderstandings.
After hours of soul-searching about the issues that
divided them, Ranya, Suzanne, and Priscilla grew close
enough to discover and explore what united them. A
memoir of spiritual reflections in three voices, The
Faith Club has spawned interfaith discussion groups
in churches, temples, mosques, and other community
settings. It will make you feel as if you are
eavesdropping on the authors' private thoughts,
provocative discussions, and often-controversial
opinions and conclusions. As the authors reveal
their deepest beliefs, you watch the blossoming of a
profound interfaith friendship and the birth of a new
way of relating to others. And this new edition
provides all the materials you need for forming your
own Faith Club, including sections in Hebrew and Arabic.
Pioneering, timely, deeply thoughtful, and full of
hope, The Faith Club's caring message will
resonate with people of all faiths.
