Moravian & Local Books and Music

While most books currently in print are searchable through this IndieBound web site, some specialized books are not. This is especially true of books about the Moravians, Bethlehem, and the Lehigh Valley.

The Moravian Book Shop has a complete selection of Moravian, Bethlehem, and Lehigh Valley books, including books helpful in genealogical research. We also carry Publications from the Moravian Church, such as the Daily Text, CDs from the Bach Choir of Bethlehem, and some local interest DVDs.

Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power (Hardcover)

Other Editions of this Title
The erudite and witty commentator lifts the tarp that cloaks our military and reveals the condition of our national security state. We have made peace with being perpetually at war, yet over 99% of our population has no familiarity with our warriors – never experiencing the true costs and sacrifices they make. The endless blank checks support our lust for weaponry but provide little benefit to the real humans who wear the uniforms. It took smarts and courage to write this book; may it spark a much-needed national debate.

Bringing Up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting (Hardcover)

By Pamela Druckerman
$25.95
ISBN-13: 9781594203336
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Penguin Press HC, The, 2/2012
Other Editions of this Title
The author is an American mother who lived in France and learned that the French can teach us a lot about parenting. While loving and nurturing, they are not subservient to their children. As a matter of fact, French kids have eaten and enjoyed braised leeks before an American child can spell "leek." Food, manners, education, and quiet play – these are the conditions that Druckerman envies the French for, but in this wonderful book shows us how we, too, can raise good sleepers, gourmet eaters, and relaxed parents!
