Three mothers -- a Christian, a Jew and a Muslim -- joined together to write a children's book about faith connections. Their heated debates and discussions led to a book ... and a movement. The Faith Club is inspiring women around the country to form groups to meet for open and honest dialogues about religion. Women everywhere are discovering the core values that connect all faiths ... and exploring the myths and misunderstandings that divide them. Cutting through cultural and faith stereotypes ... Friday at nine on The Sound of Ideas.
