Sacred America, Sacred World

"When divisive and mean-spirited politics occupy so much of our public conversation, it's easy to become cynical and resigned. But we are capable of something better, we crave something better, and in his sparkling new book Stephen Dinan has given us a vision of how we might actually achieve something far better. He outlines a clear path toward healing the rifts that have torn our society asunder, appreciating our differences, and uniting in common cause to create a world worth passing on to our children." --John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America and cofounder and president of the Food Revolution Network "Major evolutionary changes are looming on America's political horizon, and Stephen Dinan's book is the first I've seen to announce them so clearly." --Rich Tafel, director of the Project for the Future Right and founder of Log Cabin Republicans "The difference between a cockeyed optimist and a visionary is that one encourages us to sit back while the other inspires us to commit to a vision and take action. In Sacred America, Sacred World, Stephen Dinan offers us a highly compelling blueprint to engage in deep and totally achievable global transformation. This is a visionary work of the highest order." --James O'Dea, author of The Conscious Activist, former president of IONS, former director of Amnesty International, D.C. "Sacred America, Sacred World is a crash course on the intersection of politics, spirituality, and citizens. Like the three-legged stool, all are required for the United States to fulfill our potential. We, as citizens, are at a crossroads. Will we pick up the banner of our responsibility and thrive, or allow the degradation to continue? To choose wisely, start with reading this book." --Debilyn Molineaux, president, Coffee Party USA; codirector, Bridge Alliance "Sacred America, Sacred World provides an unprecedented vision of global possibilities, based in a frank, but balanced historical background of the greatness, as well as the unhealed wounds, of America. This national and global vision is rooted in the spiritual awareness that we are all members of one human family. This includes a fundamental need to fully understand and address the genocide of Indigenous Peoples, as well as honoring their unique and invaluable contributions to our collective future." --Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr., member of the Dakota and Chickasaw Nation; global trustee, United Religions Initiative; and chairman of the Four Worlds International Institute "Stephen Dinan lays out a compelling vision for a nation and world with the political, economic, and social conditions needed to bring lasting peace and prosperity. And he advocates a clear path. Sacred America, Sacred World is a must-read for all those who yearn for a brighter tomorrow." --Steve Farrell, worldwide executive director, Humanity's Team "If the Founding Fathers could have written a book about the United States in contemporary times, this would be it." --Walter Semkiw, MD, author of Return of the Revolutionaries
