Nothing’s Easy: Audrey and Jim Mang, Faithful Peacemakers, is the latest release from Buffalo-based NFB Publishing.
A memoir by Audrey Mang, Nothing’s Easy is a heartwarming and unequivocal chronicle of the truth of her husband Jim’s belief that “It is love, in faith, in doubt, in risk that community is built.” Whether through conflict with the church, strategizing with worldwide activists for nuclear dismemberment, raising awareness of economic injustice in Buffalo, executing risky acts of civil disobedience, or celebrating the joys and navigating the challenges of their family life, Jim and Audrey’s unwavering commitment to unity, peace and justice continues to impart love, courage and vision to the communities they have so selflessly served.
“Nothing‘s Easy is a love story and it is an adventure story,” said the author. “While one could say that everyone’s life is an adventure, there are many challenging and uncommon experiences in the pages that follow, none of which seemed excessively unusual to us at the time we lived through them but rather astound me now. This book is my personal understanding of the life of my husband, Jim Mang, but is my story, too. It is the story of how two people merged their lives and their commitment to work for a better world.”
“Audrey Mang’s memoir reminds us of the importance of character, integrity and conscience, as she tells an intensely personal story with a larger message,” wrote Margaret Sullivan, former editor-in-chief of The Buffalo News. “You will come away inspired to do your part for our troubled society and world, no matter how much it may be against the odds. This memoir is worth your time and attention. We are fortunate to have it.”
A book launch event will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22, at St. Joseph University School, 3275 Main St., Buffalo (parking behind the church).
