"You have to the count of three to get your ass on the ground with your face down and your palms up before we open fire. We will shoot to kill!" They fired into his back as he went around the back of the church. The officers cautiously ran after him and saw no body, nor a drop of blood! They searched the immediate area for some clue as to where the red-eyed driver could have gone. They assumed that he staggered off to die. Helpless in their efforts to find the strange-looking being, they turned to Big Mama, who was still screaming at the sky. The officers handcuffed her, and Big Mama was taken to the Troy Memorial Hospital, sedated, treated for shock, and evaluated by the emergency room psychiatrist. She was admitted to psychiatric unit thirty five for "bizarre behavior". Big Mama was discharged ninety days later, and missed her husband's funeral.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, a global movement with more than half a million Ghanaian members, runs an extensive network of English-language schools and medical facilities in Ghana today. Founded in South Asia in 1889, the Ahmadiyya arrived in Ghana when a small coastal community invited an Ahmadiyya missionary to visit in 1921. Why did this invitation arise and how did the Ahmadiyya become such a vibrant religious community? John H. Hanson places the early history of the Ahmadiyya into the religious and cultural transformations of the British Gold Coast (colonial Ghana). Beginning with accounts of the visions of the African Methodist Binyameen Sam, Hanson reveals how Sam established a Muslim community in a coastal context dominated by indigenous expressions and Christian missions. Hanson also illuminates the Islamic networks that connected this small Muslim community through London to British India. African Ahmadi Muslims, working with a few South Asian Ahmadiyya missionaries, spread the Ahmadiyya's theological message and educational ethos with zeal and effectiveness. This is a global story of religious engagement, modernity, and cultural transformations arising at the dawn of independence.

The Land of Seasons and Songs is a flower basket of humor, acquainting with cultures and traditions and presenting logical discourses. It is recollection of the yesteryears with observations. It is a book of criticisms, punches, and reformative doses. The book reviews the present-day ills of the society and describes the culture de-grand of the subcontinent of India. It describes of its kings, feudalism, and genius of the peoples, and it sheds light on the world divisive politics as and when it deviates from the path of peace. It draws attention to the excellences of poetry that is a naturally flourishing trait in the subcontinent of India. The book presents the picture of India under the British rule and remembers of British with affection. The book is written in vivid English, and the profession of the book is eulogy of the pious and pleasing the soul of the reader. The central character of the book is Bachchu Yarwah Aekkewan—the horse and cart driver. With his peculiarities of commands, he generates to control his horse on the road, and his life as he leads in his village gives an insight into the Indian-ology—the Indian colloquialism of the region he lives in. The thoughts picked for the book are from the observations as factual as the fall of snow: Snow It is snowing outside Grass and ground are white Birds have only branches to peg on Or fly across to unknown bites This is nature; it has made everything quiet The men don’t walk; dogs not out to stride Unless you are secure in shelter will die End of world but will not come; time will continue to ride Sayed Athar Husain

In the third Mister Jinnah adventure, Hakeem Jinnah’s smoking hot story could be his last. The Tribune’s editor-in-chief can kiss Hakeem Jinnah’s ass goodbye! His bags are packed and he’s off to Africa as king of his own Burger Palace. That is, until a charred, dismembered body is discovered in a pizza oven. The lure of one last front-page byline is too much for Jinnah to resist ... even if it turns out to be his own obituary. Pizza 911 puts the perpetually puffing, politically incorrect Jinnah on the trail of a vicious killer in a chase that takes him from Vancouver to Tanzania. Negotiating a deadly labyrinth of deceit, betrayal, and long-kept secrets, the neurotic newsman has to use his entire reporting repertoire — and then some — to get to the truth. Bikers, drugs lords, shadowy assassins, and a mysterious, beautiful woman are all pieces in a complex puzzle that Jinnah must put together before it’s too late for him, his family, and even his newspaper. Based on the Gemini Award–nominated made-for-television movie, Pizza 911 delivers.
