If so, this book will teach, empower and equip you to win these discussions and, at the same time, not lose your friends. In fact, you could even convert some of them. Sound impossible? Not at all if you are willing to practice what you learn and improve your ability to communicate. You can be a more effective spokesman for our Nation if you really wish to be. Bill has a unique ability to deconstruct the ploys that leftists use to change the discussion and distort facts to put conservatives on the defensive. I know that what you learn in this book will be helpful as you seek to convince your neighbors to support constitutional, fiscally responsible government in the upcoming presidential election. Foreword by Pat Nolan, California State Assembly Republican Leader [1984 - 1988] Not one to sit idly by and watch his country slip away on a path towards socialism, H.L. "Bill" Richardson became a man of action. He won election to the California State Senate where he served for 22 years. He fought efforts to weaken California's criminal laws and successfully fought to reinstate the death penalty, to crack down on child molesters and drug dealers. He defeated a sitting Supreme Court Chief Justice and two Associate Justices who were soft on crime. o spread the word, Richardson wrote thousands of articles and recorded as many radio spots. He founded four very successful political action committees including Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners of California, Law and Order Campaign Committee, and Free Market Political Action Committee. But, that wasn't enough! Bill wrote Slightly to the Right, Confrontational Politics, and What Makes You Think We Read The Bills, books dedicated to give today's conservatives the tools to take action themselves.

In 1991, Ahmed Ali Haile returned to the chaos of his native Somalia with a clear mission: to bring warring clans together to find new paths of peace—often over a cup of tea. A grenade thrown by a detractor cost Haile his leg and almost his life, but his stature as a peacemaker remained. Whether in Somali’s capital, Mogadishu, or among Somalis in Kenya, Europe, and the United States, Haile has been a tireless ambassador for the peace of Christ. Into this moving memoir of conversion and calling, Haile weaves poignant reflections on the meaning of his journey in the world of Islam. Part of the Christians Meeting Muslims series
