And God Cried, Too: A Kid's Book of Healing and Hope

Little Angel Mike
is a guardian-angel-in-training. He doesn't understand how God can let bad things happen in the world. Whether it's the tragic events of September 11, 2001, or the loss of a beloved pet, shouldn't God be able to stop the bad things? Big Angel Gabe is a wise old angel, and it's his job to help answer Little Angel Mikey's tough questions and to guide him through the mystery of suffering and into a hopeful place. In a nonpreachy, accessible manner, the message of God's great compassion and our ability to bear even the greatest burdens is offered here with a gentle wisdom.

Before there was anything, there was God, and a few angels, and a huge swirling glob of rocks and water with no place to go. The angels asked God, "Why don't you clean up this mess?"
This collection of short, funny stories is one man's interpretation of how God did just that -- with some very unlikely help.
There was Adam, who decided to number the animals instead of giving them names -- until he lost count. There was Max, a matchmaking angel disguised as a camel. And who could forget the kindly dolphins of the Red Sea or the builders of the spectacularly chaotic Tower of Babel, whose foundation rests in one small girl's question: "Mommy, does God have a big toe?"
Reflecting Mr. Gellman's lifelong love for his subject, this witty collection of midrashim provides a wonderful way to learn about and to share the stories of the Bible. Distinguished artist Oscar de Mejo brings the right blend of reverence and humor with his magnificent oil paintings.

Clean your room! Don't Interrupt! Were you raised in a zoo? These sayings may sound all too familiar; they may even make kids want to groan. But what if someone could magically make all the rules parents give--or a least 30 of them--actually make sense? Translator of the secret language of parents, Rabbi Marc Gellman, to the rescue! In addition to co-hosting the cable program "The God Squad" and co-writing a nationally syndicated column, Marc Gellman has appeared on many national network TV programs including Good Morning America and writes a solo column for Newsweek online. In his companion book to the successful ALWAYS WEAR CLEAN UNDERWEAR: AND OTHER WAYS PARENTS SAY "I LOVE YOU", Gellman uses wit and humor to help readers understand their parents' motivations.

A rabbi and a monsignor of the Catholic Church answer common questions about God and world religions

How Do You Spell God?: Answers to the Big Questions from Around the World

From talking with your mouth full to wearing clean underwear, here are wonderful, wise, and witty essays that explain those instructions of life that grownups deliver to their children. Gellman speaks directly to kids in a warm, often comical way that doesn't make him sound like a grownup trying to teach a lesson.--ALA Booklist.

Always Wear Clean Underwear!: And Other Ways Parents Say I Love You

People don't want to learn about religions just because there are religions out there. People want to learn about religions because they know that religions have great answers to the big questions.
Award-winning authors Rabbi Marc Gellman and Monsignor Thomas Hartman have produced a unique way of looking at the world's religions. Instead of isolating each religion in its own separate chapter, this book unites the religions by showing how each of them answers these universal questions:
<ul>
<li>How should we live?</li>
<li>What happens to us after we die?</li>
<li>Why does bad stuff happen to good folks?</li>
<li>How can we talk to God?</li>
</ul>
With a refreshing combination of humor and sensitivity, a rabbi and priest show us how Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and the other great religions teach us to live. This wise and often thoughtprovoking book shows us that each religion has its own wisdom and its own wonderful stories. It also explains who works for God, why the world's religions are so different, and why some days of the year have become holy.
How Do You Spell God? helps us appreciate religions from all over the world. It will also help us better understand our planet, our families, and ourselves.
