In Islam Plain and Simple, author Tariq Jalil explores the basic beliefs of Islam as well as its most controversial topics. In this highly accessible introduction, Mr. Jalil expounds upon the basis of Muslim ethics and spirituality practiced by over 1.6 billion people. With an eye toward common misconceptions held by observers in the West, and to the sometimes troubling inheritance in Muslim countries, he has woven together a well-researched narrative that challenges both stereotypes and even some practices in the Muslim world itself. Mr. Jalil's perspective and depth of understanding is invaluable for enhancing understanding and providing a dialogue for many years to come.

ISIS: Our Children at Risk, uses the stories of Fatima Baloch, a young woman of British citizenship, who is recruited into the MI6 (British Military Intelligence) to become a field agent in the ISIS capital city of Raqqa, Syria where she meets a young CIA operative, Buraq, who is a fourth-generation US citizen, born of Jordanian-American parents. 
Each must survive in the midst of the dangerous and destructive Syrian conflict. Buraq and Fatima witness unspeakable ISIS atrocities as they gather information about this dangerous and devastating cult. 
ISIS:Our Children at Risk is their story, told alongside the stories of other Syrian "operatives" and ISIS recruits.

Bill Williams was only ten when both of his parents died. His small town life in Duncan, Oklahoma was over. Life intervened in the form of his Uncle Sly, who tried to tame the spirited boy without success. Soon after high school, Bill joined the military and served for six years. As an undergraduate, Bill was a reluctant student, but found his pace in graduate school where he became fascinated with hypnosis and psychology. He became a teacher and married the love of his life, Alex. Both he and Alex taught school in Saudi Arabia. Teaching gets complicated when Bill is arrested as a Jewish spy. He escapes on the Red Sea by sailing a fourteen-foot Arab dhow to freedom. His daring three-week trek on the Red Sea is only one of many adventures. The novel is based on true events during Dr. Williams' tenure as an educator in Saudi Arabia. The Operative is the first book in the Teacher, Soldier, Spy series that chronicles two wars: Vietnam and the Russian Afghan War. The next two books in the series are Forks in the Road followed by The Afghan Bear Trap set in Russia.

You can spin the rope almost any place and any time, and the only equipment needed is your ropes. And you do not need others to help you—it is a one-man sport. You can even practice in the drawing room of your home if you do not have much respect for your furniture, draperies, and the light fixtures!
