Global Ministries missionary, Marla Schrader, reports: "I am writing to inform you of the forthcoming Fortress Press publication of Occupied with Nonviolence, by Jean Zaru.  This is a collection of over 20 years of Jean's speeches.  Most of you know that, among many other projects, I worked extensively with her in writing, transcribing and editing during the past 10 plus years.  Since I did so during the time that I was seconded by Global Ministries to support Jean's ministry as clerk of the Ramallah Friends Meeting, it would seem appropriate for GM to inform our consistuencies of this new resource. We expect the book to be out in August 2008. This may be particularly good timing as our Disciples women's group look toward a trip and future study guide on the Middle East.   It is already available for pre-orders on line at Barnes & Nobel and Amazon.  In addition to myself, Diana Eck is listed as editor and Rosemary Radford Ruether wrote a very good introduction."
