MennoLink Books and Music

Second Edition. Copyright 1995.

The photographs and the stories of joy, struggle, hope, and compassion in Fabric and Patterns remind us of the character-building quality that faith and hard work can provide in our lives. This book will be useful to persons in Women's Studies Programs and others interested in the lives of individual rural church women and the interactions among them.

The book is amply illustrated with photographs by the author and by her brother, Warren Deckert.

This 25th anniversary edition begins with a new foreword by Mary Beth Lind that looks back at what we have and have not learned, the good news and bad news, and looks ahead to reclaiming the spirituality of food.

This book contains the original collection of recipes, spiced with anecdotes, comments and tips gleaned from 25 years of cooking More-With-Less.

A reel to reel recording of The Holy City, an oratorio directed by J. Mark Stauffer at Eastern Mennonite College's 1963 homecoming, has been released as a CD.

This is one of the golden years of the tradition, with J Mark Stauffer at the helm and the chapel stage packed and overflowing with singers and not a single piano in sight. Aurdre Shank, David Augsgbuer, Earl Mause, Jean Snyder and others appear as soloists.

This CD is mastered from a real to real tape which was forgotten for 45 years. The audio fidelity is not high, but consistent and enjoyable. This recording includes the complete oratorio written by A. R. Gaul. It was sung at EMU from about 1930 to 1970. It is prefaced by Haydn's The Heavens are Telling and concluded by the Hallelujah Chorus.
