PLEASE NOTE the Sitemap immediately below the “Home” hot button. There is also a list of Book Reviews below the hot button by that name. All Blog entries are available by one click of the Sitemap (under “Blog”, most recent first, or a drop down box contains the same list), or you may search on Blog from the most recent first. You may respond with a comment by entering it below any Blog item. You may contact me too on anything. All the above are obviously moderated. There is a list too under the Blog hot button of presentations I have made here and there.
PLEASE FURTHER NOTE: Often I make changes to posts after posted! Sometimes immediately. So do check back after the initial notice of a new post. It’s usually to correct typos, grammatical errors, misspellings, malapropisms (eg. “Forward” for “Foreword”), etc. I appreciate feedback on any errors you find, including non-working links! Thanks.

Restorative Justice Links
I’ve been writing on Restorative Justice since 1974. Back then, only a handful even knew of the term “Restorative Justice”… Most links here are to eclectic sources of personal interest. Some are to publications, such as the Mennonite Central Committee’s “Occasional Papers” series, some of the earliest writings on Restorative Justice. A submenu, Justice That Transforms, introduces a series of my writings in this field. I am projecting six books in all. (Then I hope to publish a series likely titled, Justice: The Harvest of Peace on Peace/Peacemaking themes.)
Chrysalis Crucible is the title of a novel I wrote after having spent two years in West Berlin between 1972 and 1974 doing evangelism there under a Plymouth Brethren organization, “Literature Crusades.” The writing was for me coming to terms with something terribly wrong about that entire enterprise–and me!–and much of my fundamentalist faith upbringing. Though largely a piece of fiction, the coming-of-age novel is based nonetheless on wrestling with that experience, one that in fact was watershed life-changing for me. Issues of war and peace, hell, sex, and other themes arise in the course of the story.
Most Book Reviews were composed by me. I try to put “clickables” to much of the resource material I mention, both on the website page and within the Review. There is also a story-telling introduction to each Book Review on the website page, besides the Review itself, which is downloadable in pdf format. There is a drop-down menu that lists all Book Reviews in alphabetical order.
