Shantistan Tablet is an addendum to Shantistan: Enabling a Land of Peace (West Bow: 2020), a trans-cultural enrichment program. Fifteen narrative themes are presented and participants are encouraged to apply personal cultural examples. Each of the Tablet concept theme sheets contain theory and methods of peacemaking strategies.

This intriguing study introduces multi-generations of males as they were affected by travels and adventures. First the patriarchs set the framework for those who followed. Then insider tales illuminate how the hearts and souls of these modern- day males live out their heritage mantas from childhood to the future land where little is known. This tome addresses the lives and contribution of the men in our families, a companion to Spirited Sisters (2014) which introduced the outstanding women who carried the Vassar-Burgess heritage from generation to generation. This tome begins with the results of genetic testing, leading to pre-historic male roots. It then turns to known historical connections, following which it deals with more recent and contemporary leading men. It is rich with primary materials, including numerous poems, letters, remembrances, and a wide variety of adventures. No longer are they untold legacies for the men have spoken

For over 2,000 years, Christian women have struggled with inequities between the genders. This certainly has been true in matters religious. Christian women have shown ethical, moral and spiritual strength, while being deprived of leadership or power positions reserved for their male counterparts. In this tome, the authors celebrate a wide variety of such female heroines, drawn from early Christian, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Pentecostal and Charismatic groups, as well as a sprinkling of so-called "heretical" individuals. These women often have become saints, martyrs, visionaries, missionaries, and spiritual voices-models to all generations. At the same time, it must be remembered that many of them also carried and gave birth to children, raised them, and fulfilled the other functions required of them in their social contexts. The emphasis is on celebrating these memorable individuals.
