On September 15, 1963, a Klan-planted bomb went off in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Fourteen-year-old Carolyn Maull was just a few feet away when the bomb exploded, killing four of her friends in the girl’s restroom she had just exited. It was one of the seminal moments in the Civil Rights movement, a sad day in American history . . . and the turning point in a young girl’s life. While the World Watched is a poignant and gripping eyewitness account of life in the Jim Crow South: from the bombings, riots, and assassinations to the historic marches and triumphs that characterized the Civil Rights movement. A uniquely moving exploration of how racial relations have evolved over the past 5 decades, While the World Watched is an incredible testament to how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to go.

Far too often, we relegate the subject of faith to a philosophical discussion. But faith forms the core of our relationship with God. It is our reason for being. It cannot be an abstract concept but must guide us in every aspect of our lives. That is the essence of Shari Guilfoile's work, Everyday Faith: 48 Messages to Inspire Insight, Action & Joy in Everyday Life. Our days are filled with choices and temptations, challenges and victories, joys and sorrows. Being people of faith, how will we act? The stories and examples in Everyday Faith are familiar to us all, and help us understand how to infuse faith into our daily activities-how to live our faith, rather than just acknowledge it.
