South of the Sunset

More Poems of World War II Including "Voyage To Anguar" As an observant Signal Corps specialist, Earl Shaffer recorded in rhyme and rhythm the somber, and sometimes amusing, people and events in the Pacific Theater of World War II, a region he affectionately labeled South of the Sunset. In his poetry, he leads the reader from island to island, culture to culture, and on the "Voyage to Anguar," which was part of the Philippine Liberation. South of the Sunset is a sequel to his first book of World War II poetry, Before I Walked With Spring, which documented in ballad form his entire Army service in "The Doughboy Odyssey." After his return from the war years, Earl Shaffer decided to keep his promise to Walter Winemiller and attempt a thru-hike of the Appalachian Mountains, which was then thought to be impossible. Much is known about that epic journey because of his seminal prose work, Walking With Spring, first published in 1981. Now the hidden years of service in the South Pacific come to light through these published works of his poetry.

The Appalachian Trail

In 1948, young WWII veteran Earl Shaffer did what many people said couldn't be done: He trekked the entire length of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine in one continuous journey ... walking into the history books as the Trail's first thru-hiker. In 1998, on the 50th anniversary of that hike, 79-year-old Earl did it again. In this beautifully-presented book, Earl recalls his 1998 anniversary trip and pays homage to the Appalachian Trail through his prose and poetry, enhanced by dozens of Bart Smith's stunning photographs.

Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies

This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)

Save More Tomorrow provides that help by focusing on the behavioral challenges that led to this crisis inertia, limited self-control, loss aversion, and myopia—and transforms them into behavioral solutions.

Keep Your Courage

Carter Heyward is one of the most influential and controversial theologians of our time.

These pieces illustrate feminist theology's bold and transformative engagement of its cultural, political, social, and theological contexts.Carter Heyward's voice will be instructive to students and teachers of feminist, queer, and other liberation theologians as well as to those interested in the Christian thought being forged at the edges of the church in the company of those who traditionally have been kept out. This book will interest feminists, gay men, lesbians, and other queer advocates, anti-racist activists, liberal Christians and post-ChristiansA" as well as women and men of other progressive spiritual or religious traditions.
