A book responding to spiritual call in USA and in China

May the Holy Spirit(Laotianye) make you...brave in your initiatives, so that you will be able to offer your contribution to the building up of the civilization of love(harmony) Bestseller: Book World and New York Times.

Carl Anderson's "Civilization of Love" is a distinguished contribution to America and to the world. It is to be known that Confucianism would stress the same harmonious culture for peace and development to the world. "Within four seas,we are all brothers!" as the universal guidelines in Olympics' "One World,One Dream" and I wish to add "One human race" to be aware of globalization on earth. We can detect the meeting ground of the East and the West. The author artfully weaves theory and practice,giving us a rare specimen indeed: a practical guide for all idealists in the positive scenario. Available online and at bookstores everywhere.

Reflections of American past: BUT-(as published in the Book Word,WashPost,May4,08)

Now,burdened by internal divisions and a discredited president, the conservative movement is in retreat, in a recent Pew survey only a third of Americans called themselves conservative. Facing an uncertain future, conservatives have become increasingly celebratory about their leaders of the past, especially the iconic Ropnald Reagan and the recently departed William F. Buckley Jr. ,who lit the torch at National Review in the 1950s. I still remember the year 1950 when I earned my graduate degree at Georgetown University. The American history is passed,this is election year now and we shall be able to find out the judgment of voters about the trend of America in the 21st century after January 20, 2009.
