Hosting the Stranger $90 Hosting the Stranger features ten powerful meditations on the theme of interreligious hospitality by eminent scholars and practitioners from the five different wisdom traditions: Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic. By gathering thinkers from different religious traditions around the same timely topic of what it means to “host the stranger,” this text enacts the hospitality it investigates, facilitating a hopeful and constructive dialogue between the world’s major religions. The first part of the volume offers five different hermeneutic readings that each wrestle with what interreligious hospitality means and what it demands. The second part is divided equally between the five different religious perspectives on hosting the stranger, with two thinkers representing each religion. Together these essays remind us of the urgent need for interreligious hospitality, and more importantly, they testify to its ongoing possibility. |

Hosting the Monster $75.6 Hosting the Monster responds to the call of the monstrous with, not rejection, but invitation.

Its wide appeal stems from its invitation both to entertain the monster and to widen the call to and the listening for the monsters that have not yet, and perhaps must not yet, come calling back. This sense of hospitality and non-hostility is one guiding principle of this collection, suggesting that the ability to survey and research the otherwise may reveal more about the subjectivity of the self through the wisdom of the other, however monstrous the manifestation. |

I’m Hosting as Fast as I Can! $10.99 He’s one of the most ubiquitous men on television. Certainly the most calm, cool, and collected—the king of “off the cuff.” And no one throws to a commercial better. Yes, Tom Bergeron is a Hollywood staple, and the role for which he is best known is . . . well . . . himself. But while he’s a comforting presence to millions of people, cultivating this seemingly unshakeable positive outlook and cool persona took as much motivation, inspiration, perseverance, and experience as it would take one to prepare a classic part for the stage. I’m Hosting as Fast as I Can! is the trying, often laugh-out-loud journey it took to get to himself . Tom got into the world of entertainment by way of local radio at age seventeen, hosting what his first boss told him was and should be a “no-personality station.” He said, “Tommy, just play the records and read the commercials.” But the sit-down-and-shut-up attitude belied Tom’s natural inclination to inject personality and a little pluck into his broadcasts. So, Tom sought other performance opportunities on radio, in improvisational theater, and even as a mime (yes, a mime ), which would help him hone the expressiveness that seems to come so naturally to his presentation. His determination would result in a high-profile hosting gig on the iconic game show Hollywood Squares and guest-hosting appearances on ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS’s Early Show . But as is sometimes the case with enthusiastic dynamos like Tom, he had an explosive temper that he admits had the potential to derail his dreams of being not only a successful broadcaster but also a successful husband, father, and friend. How to cope? “I meditated my temper into submission,” says Tom with his trademark sense of humor. In I’m Hosting as Fast as I Can! , Tom elaborates on the process by which he is able to sit calmly and patiently, without being distracted, at any time, no matter how hectic, as well as respond quickly (and hilariously) when Marie Osmond faints at his feet on live TV.
