🌱 Surviving 2012 & Beyond: A Must-Have Survival Book

By Shaykh Taner Vargonen Ansari and contributors

What would happen if the conveniences we rely on every day disappeared tomorrow?

A hundred years ago, people knew how to grow their own food, craft what they needed, and survive without depending on fragile systems of technology and supply chains. Today, most of us have lost those essential skills—leaving us vulnerable in times of crisis.

This book is a wake-up call to reclaim practical self-reliance, whether or not disaster strikes in your lifetime. It offers insight and guidance on how to:

- Develop essential survival skills to thrive independently
- Build resilience and confidence in uncertain times
- Inspire your family and community to value self-sufficiency
- Shift from passive dependency to proactive preparedness

Being prepared is not about fear—it is about empowerment.
It is about becoming the kind of person who knows how to adapt, endure, and lead when life becomes unpredictable.

Read. Learn. Grow.
Take the first step toward a life of resilience and independence.
