My cousin and Aunt have introduced me to and intrigued me in the author, Joel Rosenberg. The following is a quote from him that my cousin had just posted on his blog. I want to share it too. Here it is:

What if?
From his latest book, "Dead Heat", author Joel Rosenberg asks some important questions."What if the political debates that so obsess and divide us prove one day to be trivial pursuits, distracting us from the most important and pressing issues of our time?

What if in the midst of presidential campaign seasons that invariably consume so much of our nation’s time, talent, and treasure we find our- selves one day blindsided by gathering evils we either do not see or fail to fully appreciate?

What if the great fortunes we are trying to amass do not protect us from the weapons being formed against us? And what if in our never-ending national hunt for power, prosperity, and celebrity we somehow gain the whole world, but forfeit our souls?

A new evil is rising. I feel it. I fear it. Let us awaken, before it’s too late. "Joel C. Rosenberg November 2007 Washington, D.C.
