Book excerpt: READERS' FAVORITE 2019 GOLD MEDAL AWARD: Christian-General Category 3 GOLD MEDAL BOOK AWARDS from Nonfiction Authors Association: Received in Self-Help, Personal Triumph, and Religion Categories ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARD WINNER, 1ST RUNNER-UP, 2017: Nonfiction E-Book Category Have you ever awakened from a restless night of sleep and just couldn’t do it—you couldn’t wear that mask another day, acting as though everything were “okay.” Could anyone possibly understand what you were going through? Or are you on the other side of that coin? Times are tough, though you know people have survived worse. But how do others overcome staggering mountains and valleys? What we wouldn’t give to absorb their wisdom. Author Alicia M. Smith sought answers to the questions shared above, questions occupying real estate within the shadows of our minds. Her quest was to speak with said people. Those who understood the struggle and the loneliness—but who could also share their stepping stones toward higher ground. The moments shared by these individuals are humbling, to say the least: ~A life-altering car accident ~A woman’s quest to escape addiction and life under a bridge ~A nurtured passion, years of hard work and memories, stolen by Hurricane Katrina ~A late-night phone call, notifying a woman that the police may have found her husband’s body ~A vision bestowed on a man, moving him and others to walk away from safety and toward the unknown How do these anecdotes apply to you? Are there common denominators? Or are we all separated by our own circumstances and experiences? The lessons gleaned from these testimonies are invaluable—sparks of hope demanding to extinguish the shadows. “The essays themselves are tightly paced and engaging....Inspirational without being patronizing; a well-organized collection.” —Kirkus Reviews San Francisco Book Review: sanfranciscobookreview.com/product/common-stones/ Manhattan Book Review: manhattanbookreview.com/product/common-stones/

Download or read book How Muhammad Inverted the Judeo Christian Tradition written by Michael Muluk and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-28 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people say that all Abrahamic religions are basically the same. All three religions worship the same God, revere the same prophets, and they all come from roughly the same corner of the world. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all feature a god who communicates to us humans through intermediaries called prophets. For Muslims, the line of prophets also includes Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. According to Islam, over the ages, god gave humanity iterations of the same divine laws. Laws which are ultimately enshrined in the Torah, Bible, and the Qur'an. Laws which are meant to bring peace, prosperity, and justice throughout the world. If we believe in such a narrative, it is quite hard to understand, why the bloodiest conflicts in the history of mankind are the ones waged between the World of Islam and the inheritors of the Judeo-Christian Tradition? And even in times of peace, the ethics that sprung out from both camps created two different seemingly incompatible civilizations. Why is there such a massive divide between the World of Islam and the Judeo-Christian West if both branches are founded based on the teachings of the same Creator God? What part of the puzzle have we missed? Here's a crazy thought: Could it be that the teachings of Muhammad are the exact opposite of what the Bible teaches? What if Muhammad created an anti-theology to the teachings of the Bible? Born Fatih Hamza al-Muluk, Dr. Michael Muluk is an Ex-Muslim turned Evangelical Christian, who has studied and lived Islam for most of his life. Being a combat veteran and a security consultant, he had the chance to intimately know both moderate Muslims and also Caliphate supporters in Europe, the Middle-East, Africa, and South-East Asia. His answers on Islam, leaving Islam, and terrorism on the popular Q&A platform Quora have been read more than one million times, and he is currently doing consultancy work for several governments in their fight against terrorism. This book continues right where "How Muhammad Stole the Judeo-Christian Tradition" left off. In this book, Dr. Michael Muluk explores how Muhammad's Islam is an anti-theology of the teachings of the Bible. Indeed, Islam is such a stunningly inverted version of the Judeo-Christian faith, so that anyone who studies both religions should come to the conclusion that this simply cannot be by accident. In our day and age, Islam is the religion which will have the most impact on our lives, our freedoms, and our liberties--no matter if you are a Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist, or Muslim yourself. Don't believe me? Just turn on the news! Nobody can afford to stay ignorant of what Islam truly represents. So, let's take a look at how Muhammad inverted the Judeo-Christian Tradition.
