Examines the new wave of restrictions on religion freedom and what can be done about it

In his new book, New York Times bestselling author Jay Sekulow presents a political and historical rationale for the existence of Israel as a sovereign nation. The State of Israel and its very right to exist is a lynchpin issue not only in the Middle-East, but is a critical issue to the world at large. Whether it is the blatant and stated desire of ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, or Iran to wipe Israel from the face of the earth, or the more subtle but equally insidious aim to delegitimize Israel's existence through efforts at UNESCO, the goal is the same-to get rid of Israel. Here is the book that defends, Israel's right to exist as a sovereign nation. As Chief Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, Jay Sekulow has fought with Israel hand-in-hand in some of Israel's most strategic, international battles. Now, he has pulled together the definitive and comprehensive look at Israel-one of the world's most controversial nations- and its importance to us as Americans and as a key focal point to the future of the world. He looks at the legal case for its prominence, as well as the historical and political rationale for its existence as a sovereign nation and homeland for Jews today, and encourages readers to stand with him against the hatred, lies, and efforts to delegitimize one of the world's oldest nations.

When it was ratified in 1791, the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States sought to protect against two distinct types of government actions that interfere with religious liberty: the establishment of a national religion and interference with individual rights to practice religion. Since that time, no question has so bedeviled the U.S. Supreme Court as finding the best way to interpret and apply the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. In this unique and timely book, Jay Sekulow examines not only the key cases and their historical context that have shaped the law concerning church-state relations, but also, for the first time, the impact of the religious faith and practices of Supreme Court Justices who have ruled in each case. Covering cases from the teaching of religion in public schools and the use of federal funds for parochial schools to today's debates about the Pledge of Allegiance and public displays of the Ten Commandments, Witnessing Their Faith is essential reading for anyone interested in the history and future of religious freedom in America.

The world's wealthiest and most powerful jihadists, ISIS originated within Al Qaeda with the goal of creating an Islamic state across Iraq and Syria and unrelenting jihad on Christians. This book gives a better understanding of the modern face of terror, and provides an overview of the laws of war and war crimes. These laws differentiate between the guilty and innocent, and explain why the US military and the Israeli Defense Forces are often limited in their defensive measures.

From New York Times bestselling author Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel for the America’s Center for Law and Justice, and Donald Trump’s attorney, comes a comprehensive look at Israel—one of the world’s most controversial nations—and its importance to us as Americans and as a key focal point to the future of the world. The State of Israel, and its very right to exist, has been a critical issue in not only the Middle East, but throughout the world. It has been a stated desire of ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran to wipe the country off the map, and has even been questioned by UNESCO if its existence is legitimate. Jay Sekulow comes full force defending Israel’s right to exist as a sovereign nation. With his team of lawyers, he has extensively researched and examined Israel through three perspectives—biblical, legal, and historical. He explains both the legitimacy of Israel and its importance in the world today, from the Balfour Declaration of November 1917 to the aftermath of two world wars to the United Nations Resolution that ultimately led to the creation of the State of Israel. Engaging, exhilarating, and relevant to today’s politically fraught culture, this account of Israel transports you into a different time and place and brings to life the triumphs, devastations, and frequent misconceptions of one of our oldest nations.
