Vaccines for Violence

Illustrations by Walter Korzec

Violence played a role in this author's life. Her response? Prevent it. Using a medical metaphor, these essays describe ways to make the necessary changes in our lives to assure connection instead of harm.

Each essay tackles an aspect of the task to prevent harm: making peace with fear, balancing accountability with a measure of compassion, using faith and reason, and supporting others in their work. Added clarity is given to each essay with a pen and ink drawing illustrating the key concept.

Hand produced cover and assembly in a quality binding.

Uncommon Gifts

by Ann L. Hallstein

Uncommon Gifts looks at the lives of seven people who have shaped their work lives around the gifts they carry, traits such as vision, intensity, patience, resourcefulness.

Based on interviews with each, the author examines what helped them to identify and use their gifts, what hindered them, what sacrifices they have made, what is important to them and what they hope to contribute to the greater good. In a culture which promotes money-making as the definition of success, these people inspire with a deeper conception of the good life.
