Re-affirming the Core is the follow-up to author Bryan Shen's first book, The Un-affirmed Core, which sought to remove misconceptions, prejudice, and negative attitudes of people in conservative-religious communities against people with homosexuality. Thereafter, several civil and religious leaders asked him, " Now that you have turned our attitudes around, what do we do?" With the deluge of shallow information and disinformation on the Internet, the urgency to know how to help and protect people struggling silently with non-heterosexuality is increasing every day. The present volume arises from this urgency. In this book, Bryan has put together a structured framework where the psycho-social-familial development of non-heterosexuality can be understood. The knowledge and advice is drawn from his interactions with a population that is very deeply hidden and afraid and is therefore unknown in most media. With support, society can help everyone deal with these complex and sensitive issues.

This fun-filled activity book introduces pre-school children to various places of interests. The activities can be done before a visit to introduce the child to the place or as a post visit activity to allow the child to express his response to the place. As the target audience are children ages 3-6, the instructions are kept short and simple. The emphasis is not to produce a polished product (measured by an adult's standards) but something which a child would find doable. Basic skills such as cutting, pasting, drawing, painting are required but the child who is not extremely skilled will also be able to embark on the activities with some help from an adult and with lots of encouragement, the latter being the most important! The activities are meant to inspire and they can certainly lead to new discoveries and interpretations, such as a pom-pom purple octopus or a futuristic metropolis! We had fun coming up with the activities and working on them despite being two adults way over the recommended age for this book so we hope that the book will do the same for your child and you, hence the title Our Craft Book.
