|  | Jewish Pride by Michael Shapiro
Michael Shapiro, author of the bestselling The Jewish 100, encourages Jews to bask in the light of their people`s historic contributions to religion, science, politics, the arts, and civilization in general. For each of the 101 topics presented in this book, he offers a reason to be proud of Jewish achievements. The diverse subjects discussed include the Ten Commandments, festivals, holy days, the Six-Day War, the Catskills, Jewish mothers, and of course, chicken soup. Regardless of the group a reader may embrace, Jewish Pride will reinforce belief and clarify the traditions that have shaped Judaism for the past five thousand years. Today, most Jews aspire to be like everyone else - yet Jews have a unique heritage and a responsibility to learn more about their religion, and to teach it to others. Many Jews are proud of this heritage; sadly, some are not. Jewish Pride answers such questions as: Why do Jews obey dietary laws? Why are rabbis special leaders? Why is the Jewish way of prayer a civilizing force? Why should Jews respect the Sabbath? Why should these and other aspects of their religion and history inspire pride? Jewish Pride argues that Jews should be aware of their roots and appreciate the invaluable heritage of Judaism. By understanding how Judaism was created and how it in turn molded them, Jews can enrich their lives in countless ways. AUTHOR: Michael Shapiro

 | Division of Consciousness by Peter Novak
Reincarnation or an eternal afterlife? Eastern and Western philosophies have disagreed on this point for thousands of years. Novak argues that each perspective is partially correct, concluding that the human psyche divides at death, the conscious element reincarnating, and the subconscious judging itself. Novak describes how this division may have arisen -- and how it is likely to be resolved. AUTHOR: Peter Novak

 | Didache by Kurt Niederwimmer
One hundred twenty-five years ago, Philotheos Bryennios discovered the text of the Didache in an eleventh-century manuscript version. In 1883 he edited the manuscript for publication, and its special fascination for scholars remains undiminished. One of the oldest extracanonical Christian documents, the Didache`s origins can be traced to the first century. It is apparently a catechism, intended to provide basic instruction in the Christian lifestyle and worship for persons preparing for baptism. The Didache exhibits fascinating echoes of Jesus` teaching in its Matthean form, along with rare glimpses into the life of an early Christian community -- its values, its observance of the Eucharist, its leaders, and the character of its hope. Niederwimmer`s wonderful commentary is a model of clarity and learning and a splendid addition to this premier commentary series. AUTHOR: Kurt Niederwimmer
