Tale of Two Persian Grandfathers
Explore the fascinating lives of real individuals in Iran, delving beyond news sound bites and internet clips. Through the contrasting stories of two men who grew up in different regions under Reza Khan's leadership, a deeper understanding of Iran emerges. In 1958, my father departed rural Shiraz for higher education in the United States during Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's reign, never returning. Similarly, my father-in-law left Tehran amidst the Iran-Iraq War and the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran, making France his permanent home. These personal narratives offer a unique perspective on historical events and highlight how immigrants from the same country can lead vastly different lives.

Over the centuries my ancestors lived through Czarist Russian occupation, Napoleon’s invasion, uprisings against occupation, Soviet and Nazi occupation, and independence. At the turn of the 20th century many ancestors, including my great grandparents immigrated to the United States. This is a collection of their stories.
The Gospel of John
This book is a devotional translation from the Greek text of the Gospel of John appearing in Barbara Aland et al.'s The Greek New Testament (5th rev. ed., 2014).

The author hopes this book will serve as a reference for fellow Christians, seekers of the truth, and fellow travelers on life's long and sometimes lonely road.
