Tails from the Farm is a collection of fun stories about a girl named May, who was blessed to be the caretaker of many types of animals during her childhood while growing up in the country. These short stories relate funny happenings dealing with many domesticated farm animals. The stories are about the various animals, which have their own special tail designed by God. Stories, which include pigs with curly tails to bunnies with cotton ball tails--with many other tails in between--should captivate the attention and imagination of your child and hopefully bring forth a giggle or two. Not only does this book include fun stories, but it also has a message about how God loves, protects, and saves His children. The author has included this poem because she wants your little one to know this important message, which God gave to her to share. If your little one loves farm animals and likes to spend time coloring, this book is definitely for him or her. The last pages of the book contain illustrations for your little one to color and treasure for years to come.

Since Oxford University Press's publication in 2000 of Michael Emerson and Christian Smith's groundbreaking study, Divided by Faith (DBF), research on racialized religion has burgeoned in a variety of disciplines in response to and in conversation with DBF. This conversation has moved outsideof sociological circles; historians, theologians, and philosophers have also engaged the central tenets of DBF for the purpose of contextualizing, substantiating, and in some cases, contesting the book's findings. In a poll published in January 2012, nearly 70% of evangelical churches professed adesire to be racially and culturally diverse. Currently, only around 8% of them have achieved this multiracial status. To an unprecedented degree, evangelical churches in the United States are trying to overcome the deep racial divides that persist in their congregations. Not surprisingly, many of these evangelicals have turned to DBF for solutions. The essays in Christians and the Color Line complicate the researchfindings of Emerson and Smith's study and explore new areas of research that have opened in the years since DBF's publication. The book is split into two sections. The chapters in the first section consider the history of American evangelicalism and race as portrayed in DBF. In the second sectionthe authors pick up where DBF left off, and discuss how American churches could ameliorate the problem of race in their congregations while also identifying problems that can arise from such attempted amelioration.
