  Preface by Pascal Boniface.
  Why did the Euro soccer tournament follow in the footsteps of European integration? What confrontations are impossible between certain countries, such as those between Russia and Ukraine, or Armenia and Azerbaijan? Which matches have gone beyond sporting stakes to become geopolitical “wars”? Or, conversely, how can soccer be a tool of emancipation for peoples? Or even play a part in the political strategies of countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar as they seek to improve their image in the eyes of the world? 
  In a pleasant and precise style, the author tells us 22 stories in which the round ball found itself at the heart of international relations. He shows us that geopolitics is neither boring nor reserved for seasoned diplomats, and that soccer can go beyond the pitch.

  In a special prologue and epilogue from Chuck Colson--his most personal writing since Born Again--he details how Max's resilient spirit unraveled his thinking and brought out his tender side as a grandfather. 
  Along the way, you'll discover that Max's disability does not so much define who he is, but reveals who we are. Dancing with Max is not a fairy tale with a magical ending. It's a real-life story of grace, second chances, and fresh starts in spite of life's hardest problems. And Max? Max will make you fall in love with life all over again, leaving you dancing with joy. 
  Praise for Dancing with Max: 
  "Emily shares her moving story, of life's struggles but of its even greater victories, in her own words. This is a story of triumph, in spite of the suffering and pain. It is most of all a love story, and a story about changed lives--Emily's, Max's, and also mine." 
  --Chuck Colson, former White House Special Counsel

  In their new book, “Because It’s Just And Right: The Untold Back-Story of the US Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel and Moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem", Leonard Grunstein and Farley Weiss share the riveting political drama of how the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 was first promulgated by Senator Jon Kyl, negotiated and then passed, on a bipartisan basis, by an overwhelming majority of Congress. It also describes the arduous process for over two decades that led to its finally being implemented. The Bible, Jewish History, International and US Law, as well as legal precedents are brought to life in a way that is both enlightening and entertaining. 
  This book is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the significance of this historic event and it's impact on US-Israel relations. 
  David Friedman, US Ambassador to Israel from 2017-2021, also weighs in on the book, calling it “essential reading for a complete understanding of why Jerusalem is, and must always remain, the undivided, eternal capital of the Jewish State.” 
  Senator Joe Lieberman, one of the key players in enabling bipartisan support for the Act, noted: “In this book, Farley Weiss and Len Grunstein tell the dramatic story of how the United States Congress enacted legislation to move our Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem in 1995, and how twenty-three years later in 2018, it was finally moved there because, as the book’s title says, it was “Just and Right.” 
  Other testimonials include those by Governor Mike Huckabee and Professor Alan Dershowitz. Senator John Kyl provided a Foreword for the book.

  Do you ever feel trapped in a culture of comparison, cancellation, and us-against-them thinking? Have you struggled with mental health issues such as anger, anxiety, or depression? Do you feel like you'll never be attractive enough, smart enough, or successful enough? In our modern world of information overload and social media, it's easy to measure ourselves against total strangers, and likewise, to cast judgment on others. But what if this judgment is actually the source of our suffering? 
  Written by a dream team of mental health professionals and drawing on decades of clinical experience and cutting-edge research, this groundbreaking guide offers profound and practical insight to overcome "the judgment trap"—once and for all. Using proven-effective techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and insights from spiritual traditions such as Buddhism, you'll learn to identify and challenge negative self-narratives, cultivate self-compassion, and build a lifelong foundation based on your most cherished values. 
  You'll discover four key skills to strengthen your mental health and well-being: awareness: practice mindfulness to overcome negative thoughts; acceptance: embrace what is and accept what you cannot change; compassion: cultivate kindness and compassion for yourself and others;  and values-based intention: act on deeply held values, rather than impulse. 
  And, most importantly, you'll learn to practice radical nonjudgment—awareness and acceptance of what is—to guide your life choices and cultivate wisdom, gratitude, connection, and joy.
