Welcome to Jerry M. White's Until Today: Stories and Poems on Life as I Know It Book Blogs Page!

Jerry, thank you for the kind welcome and the invitation to post on your page.  You have provided a virtual handshake and I greatly appreciate it.  My book is the result of a spiritual quest and its reoccurring themes not only tell a story, but they kept me writing through many dark hours.

My work is Memory Lake, the forever friendships of summer, Vantage Point Books, July 2011.  Here is a description and the Amazon link:

"In Memory Lake, a present day journey runs parallel to a distant place of memory where friendships formed and faith grew. Facing her mom’s recent passing, the author recalls another time in her life when she was learning to live without her.  Told to her teenage daughter through a series of idyllic, challenging, and humorious flashbacks, the author reveals her teenage years at a summer camp.  Transcending preconceived notions, this novel's depth and wisdom forms a complex and entertaining weave of camp's meaningful and lasting implications.

Set along the shores of Lake Michigan, friendships stand the test of time and the challenges of motherhood.  This memoir will infiltrate your dreams and if you’ve never attended summer camp, you’ll feel as if you have.  Take the journey back to Memory Lake."

Hi Jerry, You said that Catalina thought we had something in common. I enjoyed book and review swapping with Catalina, and she has been very supportive of my book marketing attempts so far. Wonder what we have in common? Writing or philosophical themes? 

Here's my book Allsville Emerging at  www.allsvilleemerging.com  or

http://sbpra.com/DarrellMoneyhon

About a proposed optimal community. Used fiction to present blueprint of a highly humanizing and spiritual community. Also used non-fictional philosophical discussion in between the fiction. 

Are you an author? Reviewer? Interest in spirituality or social spirituality? social transformation? making the world a better place? 

Here is the "Allsville Approach" when looked at as one of many strategies that might be used for positive social transformation: 

The "Allsville Approach" to Positive Social Transformation

(as described in Allsville Emerging / www.allsvilleemerging.com)

• using model communities as socio-political experiments, from which we gradually learn

to do government, or "us," better

• enacting a democratic and deliberative process to collectively engineer a healthy culture

• maintaining a priority of developing human virtues in general

• forming and using systems which maximize the development and utilization of

human gifts (each person's unique aptitudes and dispositions) in particular

• consenting upon, and practicing, spiritual principles in common with all faith traditions

and secular expressions of spirituality

• creating and using an integrated system (utilizing pooled resources and organized into an

"indigenous corporation") for developing an optimal lifestyle service

• placing our lifestyle service (as provided in our intentional communities) on the global

market

Looking forward to learning what you and I have in common. 

Darrell
