NEW RELEASES
Great minds on the road
In Grains of Destiny, Brandon Mayfield graciously invites us on the road of memory and into his life. An innovation of genre mosaicing, this book blends visual, poetic memoir with philosophy and history.
“An excellent new book by a widely respected personality. Well worth the read.”
—Crescent Reviews
Life's waxing & waning
“Laureta’s work captures both the innocence of conversion and the inevitable coming of age that all of humanity experiences. … Your mind will have traversed many planes of thought and wonder by the time the book is done, and you’ll yearn to take that trip again.”
—Warren Clementson, poet and primary school teacher
Impactful life
In this biography, the second in the Impactful Lives series, we follow Berke Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan.
“His conversion and subsequent policies not only influenced the Mongol Empire’s stance towards Muslims but also established a significant Muslim presence in regions under his control, completely reshaping the Muslim world.”
—Omar of the Orient, from the book’s Foreword
Witty & wise
Though written 150 years ago, this collection has a pithy relevance. With translation and notes (from our current century) by Flamur Vehapi and Foreword by aphorism master Yahia Lababidi.
