This book is written by the same author of “Persian Cooking for a Healthy Kitchen”, and shares with this one the simple way in description of different recipes. This book has a more wide content of dishes, a chapter devoted to ceremonies and a lot of pictures, many with food and many devoted to Persian culture. It is not generally known that Persian Cooking was and is rather modern, previewing rules for a balanced diet, there are foods hot and cold and they cannot be mixed indifferently.

The God We Never Knew: Beyond Dogmatic Religion To A More Authenthic Contemporary Faith

Answering the many “spiritual” questions left unaddressed by such popular historical bestsellers as A History of God and God: A Biography, renowned author Marcus Borg reveals how to embrace an authentic contemporary faith that reconciles God with science, critical thinking and religious pluralism.

The Forbidden Schoolhouse: The True and Dramatic Story of Prudence Crandall and Her Students (Bccb Blue Ribbon Nonfiction Book Award (Awards)) They threw rocks and rotten eggs at the school windows. Villagers refused to sell Miss Crandall groceries or let her students attend the town church. Mysteriously, her schoolhouse was set on fire by whom and how remains a mystery. The town authorities dragged her to jail and put her on trial for breaking the law.

Her crime? Trying to teach African American girls geography, history, reading, philosophy, and chemistry. Trying to open and maintain one of the first African American schools in America.

Exciting and eye-opening, this account of the heroine of Canterbury, Connecticut, and her elegant white schoolhouse at the center of town will give readers a glimpse of what it is like to try to change the world when few agree with you.
Customer Review: What a story of courage!
This story is about a white woman who taught African American girls. They were tormented, the house was set on fire. Pictures are artifacts.
Customer Review: The Forbidden Schoolhouse
This is a book I will use for a beginning writing class at the university level. It’s a quick read for that purpose and relates a piece of black and white history previously unknown. Because of the size and large print, it has the feel of a children’s book, but it reads like adult nonfiction.
