Preface
Meet 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 reli-
gions. But no sooner had we started talking about our beliefs and how
to explain them to our children than our differences led to misunder-
standings. Our project nearly fell apart.
We realized that before we could talk about what united us we had
to confront what divided us in matters of faith， God， and religion. We
had to reveal our own worst fears， prejudices， and stereotypes.
So we made a commitment to meet regularly. We talked in our liv-
ing rooms over cups of jasmine tea and bars of dark chocolate. No
question was deemed inappropriate， no matter how rude or politically
incorrect. We taped our conversations and kept journals as we discussed
everything from jihad to Jesus， heaven to holy texts. Somewhere along
the way， our moments of conflict， frustration， and anger gave way to
new understanding and great respect.
Now we invite you into our Faith Club to eavesdrop on our conver-
sations. Come into our living rooms and share our life-altering experi-
ence. Perhaps when you re finished， you will want to have a faith club of
your own.
