    Author Bari Muhammed’s new book “Community Life” is a thoughtful work outlining the benefit of a cohesive community for black members of the Muslim faith in America.

    Recent release “Community Life” from Page Publishing author Bari Muhammed is an insightful celebration of the life and teachings of an influential imam who encouraged his followers to build a model Islamic community in America. This thought-provoking work explores the realities and challenges facing the African American-Muslim community in the twenty-first century.

    Bari Muhammed, a community liaison, single father of two boys, and University of Maryland graduate, has completed his new book “Community Life: What Is It, the Dire Need for It, and Why We Don’t Have It”: a contemplative work written for the American Muslim community.

    The author shares, “‘Community Life” is a thought-provoking piece of work inspired by the high thinking G-D consciousness and visionary insight of W. Deen Mohammed. A man whom I will always call my leader. This work represents twelve years of working directly with the Imam to help promote community life among the African American people. So, despite or regardless of the gallant effort of a few leaders during our sojourn here in America, we have yet to achieve and sustain successful community life. The closest we came to that elusive goal was during the reconstruction era, after the civil war and slavery. This work is dedicated to one day establishing community life among the African American people. A day when we will manage our own lives and control our own destiny in our communities and neighborhoods. And as we pursue the management and control of our community’s resources, we will at the same time respect the community building aspirations of other ethnic groups. And G-D willing be successful in our own efforts in establishing community life.”

    Published by Page Publishing, Bari Muhammed’s engrossing book is an excellent choice for readers interested in the legacy of an influential imam who taught the critical importance of community on American life.

    Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Community Life: What Is It, the Dire Need for It, and Why We Don’t Have It” online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

  • Herbert Siegel releases ‘Homogenizing Religion: A Metaphilosophy for 1,000 years!’

    This is the story of what happened before, during and after the omnicide of humanity

    Herbert Siegel announces his return into the publishing scene with the release of “Homogenizing Religion: A Metaphilosophy for 1,000 years!” (published by Trafford Publishing), a story of what happened before, during, and after humanity experienced omnicide.

    The violence among 4,200 earth-borne religions finally upsets the galactic order, resulting in a threat to annihilate the human species. Can humanity alone, even if helped by Artificial Intelligence resolve it, or does an adjudication require cosmic intervention? And what are the unintended consequences to planet Earth of permanently eradicating the war? The Metaphilosophy that emanates can serve humanity for 1,000 years because it dares to venture into the distant future with a common purpose for all people,” Siegel says.

    When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, Siegel answers, “A philosophy of life needed for our descendants to survive.”

  • New book offers practical help by giving examples of the real life experiences of an enlightened man

    New book offers practical help by giving examples of the real life experiences of an enlightened man

    Michael Tavella announces the release of ‘Break Through to Your True Self’

    Michael Tavella believes many people who are starting on a path to enlightenment look to Buddhism and Zen because they are well known. But sadly, after a few weeks or months, they become disillusioned and quit. He wants to help people who are on a path to knowledge and are not enlightened yet as well as those who are thinking about starting on the path. It is for these reasons he now releases “Break Through to Your True Self: My Personal Road of Discovery to Knowing the True Self and Enlightenment” (published by Archway Publishing).

    In this book, Tavella uses his personal experiences to help others seeking a path to enlightenment. Outlining the steps that worked for him, he provides the answers to why people become enlightened, who they really are, what their purpose on the earth is, what happens after enlightenment, and why many teachers tell them to live in the moment. Here, he facilitates a discussion through the questions of “What should I do? How should I act? Who can help me? What is the end goal?”

    I believe this book address topics of enlightenment and knowledge of the true self in a direct and clear manner that is accessible to anyone. I speak in a straightforward manner. I remove much of the mysticism that surrounds ‘Eastern religions.’ I stress that enlightenment is not a spiritual experience. It is a psychic experience. Too many have made it something more than what it is,” Tavella says.

    When asked what he wants readers to take way from the book, Tavella answers, “For those on a path who are seeking clarity now is the time to move forward. The steps I outline in this book worked for me, but it took a long time to get there. Using this book will move you along faster—but only if you read it!” For more details about the book, please visit.

    If We Want To Defend Our Faith, We Must Understand Others’ Point Of View

    Xulon Press presents logical explanations of religious concepts.

    Author Subodh K. Pandit brings clarity to hazy ideas about religion and God in Reality of the Christian Faith: A Short Logical Treatise Based on Science and Philosophy ($17.49, paperback, 9781662863011; $8.99, e-book, 9781662863028).

    Although Dr. Pandit’s professional specialty is in Internal Medicine, he has spent a lot of time on university campuses speaking with students about religion. Using these debates, alongside his personal experience and diverse background, he is able to discuss issues such as God’s existence, evolution and relativism, as well as compare the five great world religions (Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism and Christianity) in a logical and educated fashion.

    “The information is clear and credible, and the arguments are lucid and compelling. They have been tested and tried at various intellectual levels over decades. The conclusions, even if not believed, are difficult to overturn, and provide a stable mental base and true hope in a hopeless world,” said Pandit.

Pandit completed his medical studies and worked in various hospitals in India before moving to the USA, where he taught in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Oklahoma. He then worked as an ER doctor until his retirement. He has interacted with students on such well-known institutions as Harvard, MIT, Duke, Georgia Tech, Michigan Tech, Texas A&M, University of Florida to name a few.

  • Author E. G. Sherman Jr., PHD., D.S.T., D.A’s new book “Beyond the Fear of Death” is a powerful tool for those with questions or anxieties about dying and death.

    Author E. G. Sherman Jr., PHD., D.S.T., D.A’s new book “Beyond the Fear of Death” is a powerful tool for those with questions or anxieties about dying and death.

    Recent release “Beyond the Fear of Death” from Page Publishing author E. G. Sherman Jr., PHD., D.S.T., D.A is a thought-provoking read that explores the multi-faceted subject of death and how it is viewed by various cultures in the world. Through research and Biblical study, Sherman provides answers to some questions on death to help quell the fears of those who fear dying.

    E. G. Sherman Jr., PHD., D.S.T., D.A, who holds three doctorate degrees and retired as an educator in 2002, has completed his new book “Beyond the Fear of Death”: an eye-opening guide to better understanding death and how it is treated by humanity, offering guidance for those who find themselves fearful of this certain and undeniable step within one’s life.

    “Death is universal! Death is unavoidable! Death is final! Death—for some—is welcomed! But death for many is feared. Yet humanity has encountered death since the beginning of time,” writes Sherman. “This fact is disclosed in both biblical and secular histories. The first biblical family—Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel—faced death when Cain killed Abel, his brother. Ancient Egypt, often referred to as the cradle of civilization, held elaborate services for their Pharaohs and entombed them with precious artifacts in elaborate burial containers. It was also in Egypt that the art of embalming was instituted.

    “Since the beginning of civilization, whether viewed against biblical or secular history, humankind has had to confront death. Varied have and continue to be reactions to both dying and death. Hence, there seems to exist a need of pragmatic information on the reality of dying and death. Accordingly, this book is a philosophical study of the inevitable fate that awaits the whole of humanity, the fear engendered by thoughts of dying and some practical suggestions for living without being besieged by a recurring feat of death.

    “This book, ‘Beyond the Fear of Death’, was prepared in response to the many calls (pastor, teacher, gerontologist) with questions about death, dying, and a life after death. After considering those concerns, I decided to write this book titled ‘Beyond the Fear of Death’. Hopefully, it will provide some comfort to the readers.”

    Published by Page Publishing, E. G. Sherman Jr., PHD., D.S.T., D.A’s enlightening tale is a fascinating read for those who seek to know more about cultural views on death and hold questions on the sometimes taboo subject. Readers will discover an incredible resource full of advice on where their research one can further help curb their concerns on death, as well as various Biblical verses for one to meditate on and seek guidance from a divine source on navigating death-based gears.

    Readers who wish to experience this irreverent work can purchase “Beyond the Fear of Death” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

  • Christians and Muslims Are As Troubled As Isaac and Ishmael

    Christians and Muslims Are As Troubled As Isaac and Ishmael

    Xulon Press presents a comparison between Christianity and Islam.

    Author Ann Marlow Riedling hopes to build bridges to unite Christians and Muslims along their common ground with Is Your God My God? ($20.49, paperback, 9781662861406; $8.99, e-book, 9781662861420).

    Christianity and Islam share many similarities and much of their heritage, and yet their followers often share many misunderstandings about one another. Riedling has been privileged to spend extended periods of time in the Middle East and has cultivated meaningful relationships with Muslim people who have impressed her deeply. Because of those people and those relationships, she wants other Christians to understand what makes their religion different from Islam, but also the ways in which it is the same, and the commonalities the two share.

    “May Muslims who interact with those of us who follow Jesus benefit from meeting us; may they gain a deeper understanding of the Father’s heart of our great and loving Creator God. There is no other God than God. May this truth bring the world closer together in peace,” said Riedling.

    Dr. Rev. Ann Marlow Riedling was born in a small Christian family in southern Indiana. She is a devout Christian but has had extensive experiences with Muslims and the Islamic faith. Ann received her first doctorate in 1996 in Educational Administration and Distance Education. Her second doctorate was in Theology and Christian Education in 2012. She has written eighteen textbooks and two trade books about her experiences in the Middle East. Overall, Ann spent more than twenty years in various countries in the Middle East such as Oman, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Pakistan, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Dr. Riedling is a four-time Fulbright Scholar, serving in Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt, Oman, and Pakistan.
