On Being an Artist
Judith Weinshall Liberman, best known for her Holocaust-themed artwork, explores the creative process in this collection of three plays, a libretto, and black-and-white reproductions of twenty-five of her original artworks. The plays and libretto are all semi-autobiographical and express insights about writing and art that shes gained through half a century of honing her craft. In Soul Mate, which was inspired by Libermans collaboration with a gifted young composer on her first musical play, a woman in her eighties struggles to accept constructive criticism, and in the process discovers that her mentor is her soul mate. Vincents Visit tells the story of an elderly artist visited by Vincent Van Gogh, whos been dead for more than a century. Judith and Anne dramatizes an encounter between the playwright and Anne Frank. To Be an Artist integrates elements from Vincents Visit and Judith and Anne into a musical play in which the characters express themselves through frank dialogue and in twenty lyrics that provide insight into their minds and hearts. Reproductions of artwork help readers better understand the themes in each work as well as the authors insight into On Being an Artist.

When her family's livelihood is threatened by a bigoted magistrate, Anya is lured in by a friendly family of fools, who promise her money in exchange for helping them capture the last dragon in Kievan Rus. This seems easy enough, until she finds out that the scary old dragon isn't as old--or as scary--as everyone thought. Now Anya is faced with a choice: save the dragon, or save her family.

Freedom, Justice & Christian Counter-Culture
Michael Elliott has had a more than unusually varied career. Born in New Zealand, he first did postgraduate studies in Boston with Harvey Cox and Joseph Fletcher, at the same time joining the Berrigan brothers in protest action against the Vietnam War and taking part on a march on Washington. He then moved to London's South Bank to work with Bishop John Robinson in the inner city, from where he went with the Church Missionary Society to the Middle East, before returning to England to work in race relations. Eventually back home in New Zealand, he worked in development education, which also involved a stay in Cuba. From all this has grown his book. It is not an autobiography, but rather the beginning of a handbook for activists, indicating the issues that need to be addressed and the strategies that need to be tested by Christians in the modern world. Firmly rooted in the Bible, written in the tradition of liberation theology but arising out of the living conditions of the United States and Britain, it offers specific guidelines for the thought and practice of Christians who are dissatisfied with the world and the churches as they are today.
Sonnets of Grief and Pride
The book SONNETS OF GRIEF AND PRIDE is a collection of sonnets written by author Judith Weinshall Liberman when she was ninety-two years old. The book is Ms. Liberman's sixth book of poems. Before writing the sonnets presented in this book, she had published five books of poems: REFLECTIONS (with her daughter, Laura Liberman, M.D.) in 2012, PASSION in 2013, and SONNETS OF LOSS AND TRIUMPH as well as SONNETS OF PAIN AND FORGIVENESS and SONNETS OF SETBACK AND HOPE in 2021. She had also published a book titled ZINA (2013) about her mother's life and poetry. In the present book, Ms. Liberman juxtaposes the stories of three women, each of whom lost a son: Sisera's mother, the Virgin Mary, and the author's own mother. With understanding and compassion, the author illuminates the devastating effect of a son's death. This book conveys some of the important lessons Ms. Liberman has learned during her long life.
Self Portraits
In this book, author-artist Judith Weinshall Liberman presents over twenty of the self portraits she created during her long career in visual art. The self portraits in SELF PORTRAITS, painted over the thirty year period between the 1960s and the 1990s, reveal a great deal not only about Ms. Liberman's looks and personality but also about her devotion to her craft. The text accompanying the images in SELF PORTRAITS throws light on the variety of mediums used by the artist in creating her artworks.
