The¿¿Taliban¿¿cannot be conquered, the¿¿ Russians¿ tried, the¿ Americans ¿tried, let's see¿¿ now¿ if the Chinese ¿try.¿After twenty¿years of¿ American occupation, the Taliban say,¿ "the¿¿ Americans¿ have¿ the¿ clocks, but the Taliban¿ have¿ the time." That¿may¿ be¿true, but God has ¿ the time, grace, mercy, and forgiveness. God is¿¿ not moved¿by waving¿machine¿ guns, or by merciless executions. This grieves God. ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿¿ How will the Taliban rule, particularly with¿regard to women, now that the Americans are gone?¿Twenty years¿feel more like sixty years¿ for¿ ä population whose life-expectancy is only thirty years. American¿millennials¿start "adulting" at¿age¿ thirty.¿ For an entire¿generation Taliban¿women¿ experienced Western freedom, but what is better, some of them have experienced the freedom that can only come from a relationship with Jesus Christ. Humility, submission, obedience, these are components of fervent prayers¿but, sadly, Afghani women have practiced these traits while being oppressed by Afghani men.¿¿¿¿ God listens¿attentively to the prayers of mothers,¿ daughters, sisters, and all women.¿Taliban men¿ should recognize¿ the¿ power of a woman's¿ prayers, and¿ they should put that prayer to work to rebuild their nation.¿The saying¿goes, "behind¿ every great man is a great woman."¿¿But in¿my life, I say, "ä praying woman, who is honored and listened¿ to¿ by her¿ man, builds a great man."¿¿ She inculcates¿in her man the attributes of family responsibility and Godly purpose.¿My wife¿stood¿ by me and helped me avoid a lot of¿testosterone fueled, boneheaded decisions, that could have killed me, or at least put me in jail.¿I'm not¿just¿ bashing men here. Let's not¿deny that¿estrogen causes ¿a lot of¿unnecessary anxiety, depression, and gossip. But how can we¿coexist¿ with¿ the¿ opposite sex?¿How can¿Arabs¿ and Jews get along? This book has the answer to all conflicts. His name is Jesus!

Autorenporträt
Coming from a Muslim background, my instinct was to steamroller my wife and hate a Jew. But my wife wasn't having any of it. Women give good advice, and it often balances the arrogant, testosterone-driven goals that we men tend to set for ourselves. My wife was hard to deal with, but I loved, honored, and respected her, and she helped me grow in every aspect of my life. The best advice for the Taliban is that they should love their wives the way Jesus loved the church, and he died for the church. Adam Elsayed is a 27 year old, successful pharmaceutical representative who calls on my office. His father, a Muslim, left his family to start another family, when Adam was only 10 years old. Adam came to know about his father's parallel family only about a year before I met him. "Not cool," Adam opined. I could feel his pain, but in a strange sense we needed each other: he needed a father figure, and I needed to grow my spiritual family. This book represents a running text conversation which culminates in Adam excepting Jesus Christ as his Savior. Now it is confirmed that spiritual bonds are stronger than biological roots. 22 years ago, when I first became a Christian, I cried out to the Lord for reconciliation with my Muslim relatives. In a moment of extreme clarity, I heard a soft, still voice say, "I am your family! And your sisters and brothers in the church are your real sisters and brothers. They are also your family."
