VanU library books related to this Sunday’s sermon:
1. Brave Souls: Writers and Artists Wrestle With God, Love, Death, and Things That Matter, by Douglas Todd, 1996, 920 TOD [Gift of the Interfaith/Multicultural Committee. From Amazon, the editorial review from Library Journal: “Canadian journalist Todd … converses with 28 artists, writers, and musicians about the spiritual intuitions that guide their work and nourish their creativity. John Irving, Douglas Coupland, Bruce Cockburn, Loreena McKennitt, Timothy Findley, Robert Fulghum, Nick Bantock, and others address matters of religion and spirituality with Todd, who skillfully draws thoughtful responses from the most reluctant of atheists. The hub of the conversations revolve around revisioning God, clarifying unprobed ideas about the afterlife, and revisiting personal ethical ideals and rituals that influence the creative process. …”]
2. In My Heart: A Book of Feelings (Growing Hearts), by Jo Witek and illustrated by Christine Roussey, 2014, J WIT [Gift of Karen Bartlett. From LibraryThing: “A young girl explores what different emotions feel like, such as happiness which makes her want to twirl, or sadness which feels as heavy as an elephant.”].
3. The Mythic Image, by Joseph Campbell, 1981, 291.13 CAM [The Julian Fears Library.
