Hi,
I am a San Francico bay area author/publisher whose book "Gems of Wisdom
Heart of Gold" is just being launched.
The book is in part a collection of inspirational speeches and quotes from
various Muslim historical figures from Prophets, Caliphs, to contemporary
figures like Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali.
For anyone who's interested in the communications aspect of inspirational
leadership this book may be of interest to you.
The book has received mentions in Publishers Weekly as well as reviews in
some local media as well as Islamic Publications like Al-Jumuah magazine
as well as adapted article on iview.com (Premiere Islamic news and views
zine). I have spent the last seven years or so putting this book together.
The objective is to pass on a piece of our great literature, history, and
wisdom to the next generation.
You can check out the book at amazon.com & barnes and noble. Please let me
know of your feedback or you can write a review on either website. I hope
you will find the book inspiring and will let others know of it too (I
don't have an advertising budget so I'm counting on word of mouth)
Sincereley
Javed Mohammed
