The United States' War on Terror has been ongoing for nearly three decades, ever since the first World Trade Center bombing in 1994. But this war has been ongoing for some 1,400 years, since Muhammad claimed that he was visited by the archangel Gabriel in a cave near Mecca in 610 A.D. and recited the Qur'an to him then and in a series of visitations thereafter. And thus, a new religion, Islam, was born. Muhammad advocated the use of force to convert the world to Islam and his followers have used both his tactics and his example since those early days of Islam.Rev. Dr. Oldham questions the encounter with Gabriel, primarily because the archangel Gabriel of the Bible always was a messenger from Jehovah God. He never recited anything from an "eternal holy book." The archangel Gabriel of the Bible normally "visited" people in dreams and visions. So, the question is: Did Muhammad converse with an archangel or a devil-perhaps Satan himself? This well-researched and fascinating book answers that question and several other "politically incorrect" questions.

Some people have suggested that a successful marriage requires tremendous insight to understand and super-human effort to achieve. Others contend that happy marriages are the purview of a lucky few. In this ground-breaking book, How To Love Your Wife, Dr. John Buri makes it clear he doesn’t agree: thriving marriages can actually be achieved through sensible effort by reasonable people. But because the majority of marriages in this country consist of unions in which wives are more heavily invested in marital success than are their husbands, much of this sensible effort by reasonable people needs to be consistently initiated and maintained by men. In fact, men often hold the keys to bringing about the type of loving marriage they had hoped for when they first said “I do.” In How To Love Your Wife, Dr. Buri makes these keys clear, understandable, and accessible.
