Carrie Brown-Wolf was raised a Lutheran, lived with a Muslim family in North Africa, and married into a Jewish family. She knows firsthand about the bounties of religious diversity. Brown-Wolf, who graduated with a MA from Columbia University Teachers College in international education, has worked in multicultural education with hundreds of children, teachers, administrators, and parents. Soul Sunday is her guide for parents who want to educate and sensitize their children to the riches of the world's religions and the benefits of the spiritual practice of hospitality. It has won five National awards.

In the first section of this paperback, Brown-Wolf reveals how she and her husband decided to set Sunday evening aside to talk with their three children about spirituality. They used a variety of activities to spur discussions about cultures, families around the world, poverty, politics, peer pressure, and much more. They came up with Ten Components for a Meaningful Life — love, compassion, integrity, kindness, wisdom, purposeful work, peace, citizenship, appreciation and faith. They explored five religions — Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam — and discovered the joys of learning and sharing together.

Part two of Soul Sunday presents 20 seasonal hands-on spiritual sessions based on faith traditions from around the globe. They have creative titles such as Wheeling Religions, Ramadan Revelry, Mind the Matzoh, Mosaic Madness, Sister and Brother Bracelets, and many more. The colorful and creative designs by Jennifer Lindstrom and Stacey Sutter enhance the appeal of this celebration of religious diversity and respect for ritual.
