Our On-line Bookstore

First Parish Church Unitarian Universalist
in Cooperation with Amazon.com

Why do we have a store, and how does it work?

The church earns much higher commissions if we can add a book to this page before you buy it, so unless you are in a real rush, please send those recommendations along. Thanks for your continued support.  Please send your excellent book suggestions to GoodBookUU@juno.com and I will e-mail you to confirm when they have been posted to our bookstore.

Religion, Sprituality and Personal Growth
The Lord Is My Shepherd: the Healing Wisdom of the Twenty-third Psalm by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner
The author of When Bad things Happen to Good People and other inspiring books has written about the most beloved and quoted chapter in the Bible. Each chapter of his book examines the meaning and importance of a line from the psalm. Kushner draws on the works of other thinkers and theologians to analyze this song.

Holy Blood, Holy Grail
by Michael Barigent, Henry Lincoln & Richard Leigh 
Recommended by Janice Faith
From an Amazon.com review: This is the story of the Knights Templar, and a behind-the-scenes society called the Prieure de Sion, and its involvement in reinstating descendants of the Merovingian bloodline into political power. Why? The authors assert that their explorations into early history ultimately reveal that Jesus may not have died on the cross, but lived to marry and father children whose bloodline continues today.

To Begin Again : A Journey Toward Comfort, Strength, and Faith in Difficult Times
by Naomi Levy 
Recommended by Betty Gilson
 This is a book about faith lost in the aftermath of a terrible tragedy, and regained after a long search. Although it is told largely from a basis of Jewish theology, the author now being a Conservative rabbi, it speaks to 
people of all faiths in answering the question, "How can I go on after this?"

Recommended by Joanne Giannino
A wonderful collection from men and women, fact and fiction of childbirth 
through the ages. I think the women who took Cakes for the Queen of Heaven will really enjoy this book. From Picasso to Queen Elizabeth to Marge Piercy and Margaret Mead. NOTE : This book is out of print, but Amazon.com can help you locate a copy, risk free. Click on the link above for details.
