“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.

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

Synopsis
A groundbreaking book about Americans searching for faith and mutual respect, “The Faith Club” interweaves the stories of three women, their three religions, and their urgent request to understand one another., “Welcome to the Faith Club. We’re three mothers from three faiths — Islam, Christianity, and Judaism — who got together to write a picture book for our children that would highlight the connections between our religions. But no sooner had we started talking about our beliefs and how to explain them to our children than our differences led to misunderstandings. Our project nearly fell apart.” After September 11th, Ranya Idliby, an American Muslim of Palestinian descent, faced constant questions about Islam, God, and death from her children, the only Muslims in their classrooms. Inspired by a story about Muhammad, Ranya reached out to two other mothers — a Christian and a Jew — to try to understand and answer these questions for her children. After just a few meetings, however, it became clear that the women themselves needed an honest and open environment where they could admit — and discuss — their concerns, stereotypes, and misunderstandings about one another. After hours of soul-searching about the issues that divided them, Ranya, Suzanne, and Priscilla grew close enough to discover and explore what united them. The Faith Clubis a memoir of spiritual reflections in three voices that will make readers feel as if they are eavesdropping on the authors’ private conversations, provocative discussions, and often controversial opinions and conclusions. The authors wrestle with the issues of anti-Semitism, prejudice against Muslims, and preconceptions of Christians at a time when fundamentalists dominate the public face of Christianity. They write beautifully and affectingly of their families, their losses and grief, their fears and hopes for themselves and their loved ones. And as the authors reveal their deepest beliefs, readers watch the blossoming of a profound interfaith friendship and the birth of a new way of relating to others. In a final chapter, they provide detailed advice on how to start a faith club: the questions to ask, the books to read, and most important, the open-minded attitude to maintain in order to come through the experience with an enriched personal faith and understanding of others. Pioneering, timely, and deeply thoughtful,The Faith Club’s caring message will resonate with people of all faiths. For more information or to start your own faith club visit www.thefaithclub.com
