This book is the Authors view on the Rise of Christian Extremism. Interesting Viewpoint from the author who was assistant secretary for counter terrorism for Homeland Security. I agreed with some of her views, not all - how do you feel.? Would live to hear from anyone who has read this book.
As a non-Christian growing up in a town owned by the Methodist church there were things we had to deal with as a family. Growing up as a teen and young adult, searching for a church family was an interesting quest that I have yet to fine. As a college student with Jewish heritage there were sororities closed to me.
Was married in the Unitarian church because I really liked the minister. Married to a Baptist who was just a cheat and now a Catholic who treats me like a Princess. Thought about Judaism, because I connect with the basic values: follow the Golden Rule (thank to my Unitarian Grandma) and the 10 commandments (I try) and "all people are good" (my mom who told me when I was 8yrs old that people who were racist were "stupid". But, I feel I could not live up to the requirements.
Learning to live as a right of center person with most of my friends who lean left or far left has been interesting, but I would not trade them for the world. Extremism in any direction is a difficult path to follow. I am hoping now this country will settle down to at least a low roar and will have a government that makes common sense.
Give this book a try. Send me a message for a price. I will be listing it on BooksAZ on my Ebay store today. Amazon won't let me list it, since I didn't buy 10 books from a publisher.
NOW FOR THE COMMERCIAL BREAK
If you know of someone wanting to downsize or close out an estate, I am always looking for books in quantity. IF I can make a little money, I'll give them a price, even pack them up in my own boxes, sell some, donate the rest to VSNA book sale, which is a great charity.
In closing, if you are a praying person, direct your prayers wherever you choose and pray for the hostages still held by Hamas. And the misguided young people in this country who think its wonderful to kill babies and innocent people. Love you all.
