  The following excerpt comes from Spunky Grandmas and Other Amusing Characters by Ken Mogren.  PREFACE   Today’s grandmothers aren’t much like their outdated stereotype. Sure, some might spend their days knitting in a rocking chair or baking pies in the kitchen, but most grandmas have much different lifestyles and far more spunk than traditionally depicted. The grandma stories in the first chapter celebrate this spunkiness.   In the chapters that follow you’ll meet dozens of equally amusing characters. Each chapter has several very short stories that revolve around a theme introduced by a Joella Goyette illustration. Many of these fictional yarns were inspired by real people and events. Some are fables featuring animals acting like humans who might resemble folks you know. The final chapter, “Misfits,” has tales that don’t fit neatly with any of the preceding themes.    Don’t be alarmed if all this looks a lot like poetry.

Steven then took dictation - three pages, not of commandments but guidance for leading a meaningful life. An Afternoon's Dictation  grapples with, organizes, and deeply explores the revelations Steven received and then studied for over ten years. His sharing is NOT offered as the only possible way to understand it the dictation. It is offered, rather, as a start. The book's sections include deep explorations into "The Call to Interfaith," "The Call to Love One Another," "The Call to Justice," and &q
