Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
Alhamdulillah! (Praise God!) Sang Raja Jin, the Indonesian translation of Master of the Jinn, has sold out its third printing, thanks to the beautiful new cover, and will soon begin its fourth. It is well on its way to becoming a bestseller there :)
Meister der Jinn, the German translation of Master of the Jinn, is also selling well, and will soon be published in Ebook format, inshallah. You can already read a preview of it on the German Amazon’s Look Inside feature, and also on Google Books.
Master of the Jinn will be translated and published in Croatia in May, 2009. The title is Gospodar Duhova.
Note: I am also looking for book publishers to translate and publish Master of the Jinn in France, Italy, Spain, the Spanish speaking countries of South and Central America (Spanish translation has already been completed), as well as Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.
If you know of any book publisher or book editor that might be interested, please let me know by email at: Irvingk1945 at gmail dot com
Bless you for your help :)
EBOOKS Note: The New Kindle 2 Book Reader has just been released from Amazon. Master of the Jinn is one of the 230,000 plus books that can be read on the Kindle, so if you own one, please buy it (it’s only $3.99) and let me know how it reads.
Master of the Jinn is also on the Mobipocket Ebook site for $4.99, one of the least costly books there. I have purposefully lowered the prices on all the Ebooks so that anyone can afford to read them . And you can download the Mobipocket ebook reader on your PC and many electronic devices, including PDA phones, Blackberrys, and other book readers.
Ya Haqq!
If You Believe as I Believe
February 27, 2009Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
If you believe as I believe, that the waters of the world are the overflowing bounty of life emanating from God’s love, then the pollution of oceans, seas, and rivers is a sin, as we are corrupting the source of all life and love.
If you believe as I believe, that the air we must breathe is part of the very nature of life on land and sea, then the pollution of the skies is a sin, and we are corrupting the foundation of our very existence.
If you believe as I believe, that the earth we live upon is sacred ground for ourselves and the generations to come, then the pollution of the earth is a sin, and we are corrupting the ground we tread, the soil we sow for food, the rock on which we make our home.
If you believe as I believe, that the world in modern life, with its wonders and dangers, is part of the evolution of life and humanity toward its Source, then pollution of water, air, and earth is a crime against ourselves and a blasphemy against creation, of which we are all guilty, all sinners.
May God forgive us, and may we learn to live in peace and harmony with our world and with each other. Amin.
Ya Haqq!
