The book: Bending History: Volume II Societal Reformulation - toward a New Social Vehicle, John L. Epps, General Editor. The book is available in paperback for $19.95 plus shipping from Resurgence Publishing http://resurgencepublishing.com/book_summaries.htm#BH_Vol_II) You can read reviews and comments. It is also available at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Bending-History-Societal-Reformulation-toward-Vehicle/... Volume II is a stand-alone book and it is not essential to have read Volume 1. As the ICA looks forward to the next 50 years of aiding social change, this book summarizes some of the key insights behind spirit, intellectual and social methods developed over the years.   A couple of comments: Eunice Shankland, Consultant-trainer for the United Nations: “The book is a powerful guide that will broaden our perspectives, deepen our spirit resolve and equip us in our service.” Shankland & Associates, LLC; Past Chair of the International Association of Facilitators, USA.   Maureen Jenkins, Author and Leadership Skills Trainer: “In Bending History Volume II, John Epps once again seeks to bring the rich legacy of Joseph Wesley Mathews to the attention of those who are concerned that social change is grounded in a well-reflected spirituality. The book provides a much needed reminder of the thinking out of which the unique ICA approach to managing change emerged.” Please let us know if you can come.
