"I lovedThe Faith Clubbecause it provides hope for mothers of all backgrounds that it is indeed possible to create dialogue among us in a post-9/11 world. The book is a brilliant blueprint for creating peace among diverse people everywhere. And if there's one thing aboutThe Faith ClubI have faith in, it's that it will catch fire among women's groups and book clubs across America."-- Donna Dees-Thomases, author ofLooking for a Few Good Momsand founder of the Million Mom March, "Three mothers' engaging account of their interfaith dialogue. . . . The three charming narrators transform potentially dry theological discourses into personal, intimate heart-to-hearts. . . . An invitation to discussion that's hard to turn down -- and a natural for book groups."--Kirkus, "I loved "The Faith Club" because it provides hope for mothers of all backgrounds that it is indeed possible to create dialogue among us in a post-9/11 world.

This book is a great place to start. "The Faith Club" is unfailingly honest, always engaging, and even suspenseful. The authors have set a path that many more will want to follow. I raced to the end to see how it all turned out. Hurrah!"-- Bruce Feiler, author of "Walking the Bible" and "Where God Was Born", "Millions of Americans crave a way to have interfaith conversation but have no idea where to begin.

Hurrah!"-- Bruce Feiler, author ofWalking the BibleandWhere God Was Born, "Violent conflict, painful contradiction, and heated controversy make up the headlines on religion today. But a deeper story is unfolding as well: Three contemporary women -- Jew, Christian, and Muslim -- search together across the divides of prejudice and fear. Their honesty becomes a path to connection; their courage leads into the ranges of the heart opened by their own religions. Working together, they each arrive where alone they could not go. Read this important book."-- Dr. William F. Vendley, Secretary General, World Conference of Religions for Peace
