RIPENING

About the Book

Based upon six decades of professional experiences, this book is an autobiographical account. Invitations to teach Psychology, Peace and Justice Issues that most international societies find themselves struggling with by locally and globally. This involved experiences in several European nations, plus India, China, Japan, Nepal and Viet Nam. As an Ordained Minister and Licensed Psychologist, I address challenges of health, medicine, ethics that continue to arise for persons, civic organizations, governments that address local and global issues of peace and Justice. Obviously, my experiences are inter-disciplinary plus dialogues with persons of diverse citizenships, religions and political issues. As the author of ten books, in the past decade my writing in poetic form continues to be my preferred style. Readers are invited to engage in dialogical discussions on topics that are contemporary concerns. As an Air Force Veteran, I address a number of global issues that are controversial. My hope involves engaging people internationally so that they will expand their concerns that will improve the well-being of humanity.
