Book Review: One Family: Indivisible (Steven Greenebaum)

Image
Great 5-star review of Steven Greenebaum's book, One Family: Indivisible on Goodreads; The reviewer concludes:  While not all of us come to the same answers Steven has arrived at, all thinking persons with any interest in spiritual questions certainly wrestle with many of the same questions. I found myself smiling wryly at many anecdotes because they seemed so familiar and laughing outright at others because of Steven's wit. Read the full review on Goodreads .

Book Review: Road Map to Power (Husain & Husain)

Image
Review on Library Thing: First and foremost, I LOVE his message and I pledged myself to the Giving Pledge. You must read the book to get the true message. In the beginning of the book are listed the ten rules of power. Dr. Husain, M.D. uses stories to show you the way and the light. He even brings up the question "Why am I here?", and he answers it so eloquently. He is a devout Muslim. He quoted Pope Francis and St. Francis of Assisi. He also took similar quotes from five religions to show that the message is universal. He even said atheists can benefit from the message as well. This is NOT a religious book. It is meant for EVERYONE. It is a book well worth the read. It took me a bit longer to read this book because I wanted to study and ponder Dr. Husain's wisdom. I am so glad I did. My favorite story is about a young lady helping Dr. Husain during the war in Bosnia. She is Elma Dizdar, who risked her life to help save others. She gave a monumental speech regarding

Image
On November 24, 2019, Vroman's Bookstore hosted a book signing by MSI Press author, Steven Greenebaum, for his new book, One Family Indivisible . Here is how the bookstore announced the signing: Throughout history we have divided ourselves into groupings of "us" and "them".  One Family: Indivisible   engagingly   invites the reader into the deeply spiritual and lifelong journey of the author to find a way to acknowledge our differences without dividing and subdividing ourselves into competing tribes. It is a journey of mountain tops and deep valleys, but it leads to the inclusivity and mutual respect possible with Interfaith. This is a book for seekers of all races, ethnicities, and spiritual paths who search for that elusive goal of a community of love and inclusion that also respects our diversity.
