Wars, rampant injustice, and political turmoil – these are the problems that the world is facing today. Seeing the destruction that global political leaders and international companies are causing, one might lose hope that the situation will ever change. If only our leaders were responsible, open-minded, patient, and fair! According to Salar Khan, this is not an unattainable dream. Khan’s Global Political Leadership and the Public reveals the secret of a peaceful world: the education of citizens, professionals, and leaders so that everyone can do their best for their community. Immerse yourself in this original piece – find out how global leadership affects where our world is headed and acquire the skills necessary to become the best you in all aspects of your life. From Plato to Freud, learn what the greatest minds thought about leadership and the skills an ideal leader should be equipped with, and then test how much knowledge you have acquired with the help of the self-assessment tools incorporated in the book. Global Political Leadership and the Public is an essential read for everyone, as we should all learn how to lead better, since true leadership starts with leading ourselves through the challenges we have to face in life. “You can do anything if you are dedicated to achieving your goals. Nothing is impossible.” This has been Salar Khan’s motto since childhood, and this is the approach he is to instill into all his readers. Besides faith, insight, integrity, optimism, and open-mindedness, we all need dedication and determination to set goals for ourselves and make them happen. If we strive to become leaders, we will need something more – we will need to improve our leadership skills and develop our intuition. This is what Global Political Leadership and the Public has set out to help readers with. Although leadership is partly genetically coded, we can all strive to do more and become better. By understanding the psychology of personality development and the neurological background of how our brain works, readers will be better equipped to tackle all the obstacles that have kept them from achieving their full potential as natural-born leaders. Salar A. Khan, MD, MBA, has worked as director of research compliance since 2009. He’s served in a variety of roles including physician, chief of medicine, merit grant administrator, and interim director of a nonprofit organization in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.

The contentious debate about whether or not God exists has raged ever since man first gazed into the heavens and pondered the universe. But recent discoveries, coupled with what was already known, all point in the same direction: God exists. This commentary strives to demonstrate this. The nature of things strongly suggests Intelligent Design. It is particularly noteworthy how many prominent physicists, cosmologists, and astronomers now accept the possible existence of God.

#7 - Lance Wynn

Lance Wynn was born in Sarasota, Florida. His parents were born here, and his family goes back 4 to 5 generations in North Florida. He loved fishing in the everglades with his dad and playing baseball, which was a big part of his life. He would go to church every Sunday unless he went fishing for the weekend. Lance was a protestant like most southerners and was active in Sunday school. In the third grade, He was taught that Adam and Eve were created on the 6th day and Eve talked to a snake. The snake told her if she ate the apple, she would not die, but she would become wise like a god. She and Adam both ate the apple. A few weeks later, his mother took him and his brother to their grandmother's house to visit. Lance and his brother usually read the Sears catalog, but this day was different. He looked at the large bible sitting on the table and decided to read the beginning of Genesis. Lance was amazed at the content of the book. He then became aware that mankind was created on the sixth day, and GOD rested on the seventh day. On the 8th day, GOD did not have a man to till the ground, so he created Adam and Eve. Lance learned what was taught in Sunday School was wrong, as there was no mention of the apple in the book of Genesis. He could not believe that it was taught this in Sunday school. Lance sincerely prayed to GOD and vowed to know the truth one day. He went on a learning journey. Many years later, he started writing the book Genesis Understood.

#4 - Sean Garrett

2022-03-1947:01

Sean Garrett author of the book The Resurrection of Jesus Christ with your host LizyT   “The Resurrection of Jesus Christ” is a compelling fictional novel which retraces the events of the trial of Jesus Christ, through the eyes of Pontius Pilate, and sheds new light on the aftermath surrounding Jesus’ death and resurrection. The Jews have delivered Jesus to Pilate, and with him, a host of allegations in which they fail to establish proof that Jesus should be put to death. Even Pilate, after hearing testimony from all sides, including Jesus himself, cannot side with Caiaphas, Annas, and the rest of the Jews, who demand that Jesus be given death by the cross. The trial is highly contentious and personal, and at one point, Pilate fears that the calm of the approaching Passover would be disrupted with riot and insurrection by the angry Jews, if he does not act according to their demands. Thus, Pilate makes a political and fateful decision to condemn Jesus, despite the lack of evidence to convict him of the crimes against him. Pilate’s decision to put Jesus to death set off a chain of events that would challenge Pilate’s decision to its core. Pilate, subsequently, finds himself in a life-changing conflict that would force him to question his beliefs, his morality, and his allegiance to Tiberius and the Roman empire.
