This CD isn't like that of other Christian teens who croon songs that make God seem the object of puppy love. No, Orrico's lyrics have depth, her music has flair, and she can genuinely sing. Here's a fine resource for everyone whose business it is to communicate on behalf of a particular religious group. Sensitivity, creativity and clarity are among the virtues most prized. Checks should be made payable to RCC Handbook.

Islam has become one of the three major faiths in the United States, joining Christianity and Judaism. It is increasingly a Western religion, and Muslims already outnumber some mainline Christian denominations. Smith, professor of Islamic studies at Hartford Seminary, offers a portrait of Muslim life and history in this country, introduces readers to basic beliefs and practices, and explores the tension that many Muslims feel as they pursue fidelity to their tradition while adapting to an alien culture. Other areas explored include women's roles in U.S. Islam, concerns about prejudice, and the raising and education of children. Liberal and conservative Catholics of the boomer generation and older have more in common with each other than they do with the twentysomethings who will shape the church in the year 2040.
