"Even in the midst of today s global concerns, this book provides a sense of hope and future. A must-read for business executives who desire to be responsible citizens and leaders." -Idris T Vasi, Head of Nokia CNS - Asia-Pacific
"Finding sacredness in the other does not just create societal harmony, it may also be an essential milestone in the path to a more meaningful self-discovery..." -Radical Revolution of Values
In this thoroughly researched and hopeful examination inspired by Rev. Martin Luther King s call for "a radical revolution of values," the author guides readers through a worldly and spiritual voyage, taking a deep dive into the holy scriptures of various religions and their guiding light to move toward justice, peace, and global harmony.
Grounded in the principle that our religions can be a source of solutions towards the world s disputes, Azam delves into the emotionally charged and polarized identities that are too often used as tools of exploitation and control instead of empowerment and freedom.
This book inspires readers to ask intricate questions about the world around them by unraveling the complex web of geopolitics, politico-economic systems, and religion in international conflicts.
