Mestizaje : Re Mapping Race Culture And Faith In Latina Latino Catholicism
$30.00
The concept of Mestizaje–a reference to the distinctive biological and cultural intermixture that occurred in the “New World”–has become a foundational category in U.S. Latina/o theology. This book traces the subversive and innovative ways in which Catholic theologians, such as Virgilio Elizondo, Orlando Espin, Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz, and Pilar Aquino, have turned this concept into a powerful framework for articulating the experiences of faith of Latina/o communities. At the same time the author examines some of the limitations and contradictions inherent in this concept and explores new language for describing the vibrant and complex ethno-cultural and religious identity of Latina/o communities today.

Donkey That No One Could Ride
$15.99Add to cart“… You will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden.”
Bestselling author Anthony DeStefano begins his creative telling of the beloved Bible story of Christ’s triumphant entry by introducing the young donkey who has yet to realize his important mission. The lowly creature believes he can do nothing noble, but that’s before he meets the Master…
Then Jesus said to the donkey,
“It’s time that you knew
About the great thing
That you’re destined to do…”
He hears the sad donkey cry,
“Just leave me alone and cast me aside.
I’m just a poor donkey that no one can ride.”Richard Cowdry’s colorful illustrations pair beautifully with Anthony’s charming rhymes. Together, they bring this timeless story of the donkey who carries Jesus into Jerusalem to a joyful finish. While especially appropriate as an Easter gift, this year-round story is for all time and for young and old alike.

Roxy The Ritzy Camel
$15.99Add to cartBestselling author Anthony DeStefano brings the vain and possession-loving Roxy the camel to life to demonstrate the familiar Bible verse: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Little ones ages three and older will learn that possessions are only things…and definitely NOT the most important things.
Brightly illustrated by Richard Cowdrey and written in engaging, funny rhyme, this storybook follows Roxy’s journey from her waterless home in the desert to a great city of beauty she’s heard about but never seen. Along the way she learns that the only way to attain true happiness is to share–or even give away–what she possesses.
