Hello, I am intrigued by the “Table of Contents” (Amazon suggested this book to me: may the tech oligarchs and all others clothe us when naked & feed “me” when hungry, Inshallah), but I am looking for an actual description of this book and it’s contents . . . Not titles of chapters; illustrative and intriguing as they may be!
Are these sermons? Essays?
Can you please assist me with a normal book description so I can better understand the contents in order to be more informed and less likely to be unhappy with a purchase?
Shalom. Salaam. Namaste. Oh & cheers!
