TWo more books of great interest to me

Here is a book I hope to acquire soon, but I have seen the three authors on CSPAN2, also known as BookTV, well worth looking for on your cable system, to meet authors and hear their free discussions of issues that TV does not always show us, like the Berkeley meeting sponsored by KPFA and shown on BookTV recently on the scientists and other researchers who have written a book called "9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out" which raises serious questions about how much our President and VP knew in advance about the 9/11 events in NY and DC and made full use of them to give an excuse for their old plan to "finish" the war on Iraq that George H.W.Bush did not finish by not invading Baghdad, etc. Prof. David Ray Griffin, retired Claremont CA theologian, and Richard Faulk, Princeton faculty, were joined by a Mormon physicist, and an Underwriters Lab manager fired for getting too nosy about the towers' neat collapse in place, when UL had tested the firecoated steel girders in those buildings, and they should not have simply fallen down in a compact pile unless explosives were planted in advance in the building; and they also ask why VPCheney in DC kept all our military planes grounded, not even investigating what the four hijacked airliners were doing and where they were going, and why the Secret Service allowed Pres. Bush as seen on TV to stay for more than half an hour in the Texas school, reading to children, a sitting duck target for one of the planes ....

START YOUR OWN FAITH CLUB - Last month The Faith Club: A Muslim, a Christian, a Jew – Three Women Search for Understanding was published. The book is the work of Muslim Ranya Idliby, Catholic Suzanne Oliver, and Jewish Priscilla Warner. Three friends who began writing a children’s book about different religions, they found themselves drawn into a deep exploration of their own faith and each other’s. The book is utterly engaging and the transformation the women go through deeply moving. You can learn about starting your own Faith Club at http://www.TheFaithClub.com. Press kits and sample copies of the book are available from Shannon Gallagher at Simon & Schuster. Contact her at 212-698-1287 or at Shannon.Gallagher@simonandschuster.com.
