About This Book:
Jeffrey Lang's book "Losing My Religion: A Call For Help" is available. The author describes his personal journey and challenges with faith and religion in this book. According to the title, Jeffrey Lang faced difficulties and problems surrounding his religious views, prompting him to reconsider and reevaluate his faith. The work most likely sheds light on the author's inner anguish as well as the author's journey of wrestling with religious identity and spirituality. It may also address the issues faced by people who have comparable experiences of doubt and confusion in their beliefs.
Crucial to the vitality of any religious community is its ability to attract and engage descendants and converts. By this measure, notwithstanding the proliferation of mosques and Islamic organizations, the Muslim community in America is not doing at all well." This rather sober assessment motivates Dr. Lang to address, in this book, the alienation from the Mosque of the great majority of America's homegrown Muslims In Losing My Religion: A Call For Help, the author comes to terms with many of the queries put to him by Americans of Muslim parentage and converts to Islam since the publication of his book Even Angels Ask in 1997.
Lang asserts that to effectively respond to the general malaise of American-born Muslims, the Islamic establishment in America needs to be willing to listen to the doubts and complaints of the disaffected. This entails engaging in open discussions on issues with which many in the Muslim community will be uncomfortable, but Lang avers that such open dialogue will be of more benefit to young American Muslims struggling with their faiths than the covert and uniformed discussions that often take place or no discussion at all. For this reason, Lang feels it is important and beneficial "to be candid and objective and not evade controversy, for to inadequately state the case for or against a specific position, especially when it challenges convention, only serves to fur! ther alienate the sceptical." In addition to examining questions of theodicy, hadith authenticity, and moot practices within the American Muslim community, the author includes many testimonials and inquiries that make this book informative.

The attic presents a difficult obstacle for Jamaal to overcome due to its reputation for being dark and unsettling. "The Attic" is included in the Children's Stories Project's fiction section, which is made up of 36 short stories that have been painstakingly assembled and thoughtfully organised by reading difficulty. These stories appeal to children's imaginations from grades one through six in the American educational system, which range in age from six to eleven. Without ever losing sight of their primary target, the stories' goal exceeds simple amusement as they work to present an accurate portrayal of Muslim practise and culture in a modern setting. Jamaal's quest for self-awareness develops during the events of "The Attic." His terror starts to wane with each stride he takes into the unknown and is gradually replaced by a growing sense of bravery. Jamaal draws on his inner courage reserve, and the space's darkness and the attic steps become the only challenges to be faced. He finds the attic's hidden treasures thanks to his perseverance and finds his own strength and potential in the process.

About This Book:
A powerful challenge to conventional Judeo-Christian theology, The First and Final Commandment begins by defining the internal conflicts that fracture the metaphysical worlds of Judaism and Christianity from within, and indeed, which demand reappraisal of the Judeo-Christian scriptures themselves. Incorporating detailed analysis, this work continues on to document the scriptural evidences that suggest continuity in revelation from Judaism to Christianity and, in the end, to orthodox (Sunni) Islam. Provocative and thought-provoking, intelligent and inspiring, this book enters the melee of two thousand years of religious debate with clarity of vision, accuracy of detail, and common sense conclusions which boldly confront conventional Judeo-Christian conclusions. About the Author Laurence Brown received his B.A. from Cornell University, his MD from Brown University Medical School, and his ophthalmology residency training at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, DC. He served as an ophthalmologist in the U.S. Air Force for eight years, earning the position of Chief of Ophthalmology both at Lake heath Air Force Base in England and at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida (the largest military base in the free world). Currently he is the Medical Director and Chief ophthalmologist of Magrabi Eye Centre in the Holy City of Medina, Saudi Arabia. He has lived and travelled extensively in the Middle and Far East, and brings that depth of experience to bear in this present work.
