One of the endorsers for A Deadly Misunderstanding, Tawfik Hamid, published an opinion piece this week in the Wall Street Journal Online.  In Islam Should Prove It’s a Religion of Peace, he calls Islamic clerics to denounce the violence often characterized along with their religion rather than demanding that it be ignored.

We’re always glad to hear about small groups reading ADM together, so thanks to co-author John David Mann for passing on news of Hannah Ineson and the ecumenical group she is a part of in Florida.  Welcome and hello to any new visitors who found your way here from John’s recent posts talking about ADM and his emphatic belief that “This book is going to shake the world in a very big and very positive way. (That’s my story, anyhow, and I’m sticking to it!)”

Meanwhile, the Religion Blog at The Dallas Morning News posted a link to Mark’s ReadtheSpirit article and God Discussion.com, “The Place for Seekers Who Don’t Want to Go to Church,” featured ADM with a summary and reader reviews.

Mark’s has a few speaking engagments coming up, and more in the planning stages. Be sure to keep an eye on our itinerary page for new events!
