Planned Books:

FuturePlans 2007 or 2008	Book: Paths to Righteousness: Moral Clarity in a World of Moral Alternatives	The book will contrast a healthy morality that grows out of love, grace, and forgiveness and manifests itself in human care to a morality that manifests itself in rabid rebelliousness or rigid conformity and exclusivity. I will explore biblical, theological, and sociological understandings of the narrow path and then the broader and more distorted views of morality. It will then contrast how these two approaches work themselves out in professional practice, moral leadership, and organizational and institutional ethics. My goal is to publish a few more articles and then rework 5-7 of them into book chapters.
2006	Book: Grace Again & Again	Coauthor with Pastor Mike Fortune and Physician Compton Girdharry. Reconstruct sermons and articles produced while we three authors worked in Akron/Canton Ohio. Hopefully published by an Adventist Press.
FuturePlans 2007	Book: Edited w/Sharon Kruse Sensemaking in Educational Administration	Work with co-editor, Sharon Kruse, to create chapters on the art and science of sense making in educational administration. Chapters from Drs. Ogawa, Bob Johnson,, Shoho, Bonnie Johnson, Tarter, and others.	2005-2006 Production of drafts then chapters 2005 JEA Sensemaking article from Dissertation 2002 AERA “Weick” presentation in New Orleans 2001 UCEA “Weick” presentation/panel in Cincinnati 2001 College of Ed Mentor Grant Support ($2000)
