| Title: Between Thought and Action |
| Sub-title: An Intellectual Biography of Fethullah Gülen |
| By (author): Ori Z Soltes |
| ISBN10-13: 1682060314 : 9781682060315 |
| This volume has two goals. One is to explore the life and the thought of Fethullah GÃ"len and the important educational and peace-inducing activities in which he and those inspired by him have been engaged for several decades. The outcome of those effortsof creating schools and providing diverse social and cultural services that bring people together people from diverse backgroundshas been to provide the face of civic and civil Islam as an antidote to the uglier side of political Islam. The second goal has been to make clear how the accusations against Mr. GÃ"len by the minions of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan could hardly be more false: that what GÃ"len and the hizmet (service) movement that he has inspired are ultimately about is improving the world and saving it form its uglier inclinations. A brief discussion of his life and thought has been supplemented by the voices of more than 70 interviews conducted over several years, with individuals intimate and more distant but all inspired to be part of the process of serving humanity. |

“With an encyclopedic understanding of Fethullah Gülen, erudite empathy, and rarely documented in-sights, Soltes sorts out the tensions between secular and spiritual values shaping modern Turkey. From the woods of Pennsylvania to the müezzin's call from the minaret of the newly established Grand Mosque [Hagia Sophia] of today's Istanbul, we are swept into the narrative of Anatolia of past and present. As a historical interpreter of golden threads binding the Hizmet movement, he reveals the difficult path-ways for approaching Man and God. Soltes' refined narrative spans the origins of Ottoman-Turkish politi-cal hegemony from the Great Powers era to the quarrelsome realities of the moment. Along the way, Soltes voice engages in a respectful quest for dialogue, harmony and faith-based humanity.” -- Philip Eliasoph, PhD, Professor of Art History & Visual Culture Fairfield University, CT

“For those familiar with the Hizmet movement – and those not, Ori Soltes has laid out a broad and concise overview of Fethullah Gülen and the movement. He describes Gülen’s fascinating spiritual and intellectu-al journey and his idea of civic Islam to serve the community. Perhaps the most moving section of the book is the chapter with seventy plus interviews of Gülen’s followers, sympathizers, and those who col-laborate with hizmet’s community work of dialog and service. These real-life testimonies and many others from around the world have converted one-time skeptics like Soltes (and myself) into true believers. The last section of Soltes’ excellent book assesses Erdoğan’s authoritarian “war” on Gülen, which Erdoğan takes to such an obsessive extreme as to severely damage Turkey’s civil society and reverse its gains, in-cluding the shuttering of hizmet schools, medical facilities, and eleemosynary projects.” -- James C. Harrington, Founder of the Texas Civil Rights Project and author of Wrestling with Free Speech, Religious Freedom, and Democracy in Turkey: The Political Trials and Times of Fethullah Gülen.

“This is a compelling, thoroughly-researched and presented portrait of a Turkish-Sufi sage of our times. A charismatic yet modest figure who has inspired a large international charitable and educational organiza-tion called Hizmet, Fethullah Gülen and his movement have become a target of what appears to be an unwarranted vicious campaign by the current Turkish government, for reasons that remain unclear. Soltes, a Georgetown University-based scholar with dozens of books under his belt, has interviewed nu-merous individuals in places ranging from the Republic of Georgia to Australia and the United States, and has also met several times with Gülen himself. He traces how Gülen’s Hizmet movement emerged out of a Sufi-influenced civil and cultural school of Islam that does not seek political power, transforming focus on the future of Turkish Muslims into concern for all of humanity and our planet.” -- Dr. Alex S. Kohav, Department of Philosophy Metropolitan State University of Denver, Author of Mysticism and Experience

“A timely and important book focusing on the contributions to modern Islam of one of the most im-portant Islamic theologians of the late 20th and early 21st century. Gülen's Sufi-inspired thought and the Hizmet movement, which it has served to shape, are critical components of an Islamic theology that is faithful to the origins of Islam at the time of the Prophet while adapting them to fit our modern, pluralistic world. Ori Soltes’s book is a must for anyone who wishes to understand ways in which Islamic ideas and values can be leveraged to benefit all in our interconnected world.” -- Zeki Saritoprak, PhD, Author of Islam's Jesus and Islamic Spirituality: Faith and Practice for the Modern World, Professor in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, John Carroll University

“Ori Soltes brings to this new volume on Fethullah Gülen over a decade of research, and it shows. Soltes' gift is to synthesize perspectives, and then to integrate them with his own extensive interviews and in-sights. He clearly confronts the slanders that accuse Gülen of being a terrorist, and he helps to situate Gü-len and the movement he has inspired accurately within the broader currents of Islamic theology and cul-ture. This book is a gift to anyone desiring to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the thought of Fethullah Gülen and the global Hizmet community.” -- Jon Pahl, author of Fethullah Gülen: A Life of Hizmet--Why a Muslim Scholar in Pennsylvania Matters to the World

| Title: Contemporary Renaissance |
| Sub-title: Gulens Philosophy for a Global Revival of Civilization |
| By (author): Sulayman Ashrati |
| ISBN10-13: 168206008X : 9781682060087 |
| There is no doubt that we are stepping towards understanding humanitys power even though until now the steps we are taking are slow. Nonetheless, these steps are in the right direction. Ashrati says GÃ"len has turned our attention towards this power. He explained that it exists within us in the depth of our innermost beings. Without this power, man feels that his life is meaningless and so difficult that he wishes not to exist at all. This causes him to become ill and afraid of existence itself. GÃ"len turns our attention to that power and points to it, encouraging man to go after it in order to discover it and bring it forth to the visible realm to use it in building his individual strength and to strengthen his culture. This is very important because it is the core of what religion calls for and what Islam invites people to; for Islam is a religion and a civilisation which takes that inner power as the foundation upon which it establishes its intellectual edifices and its ethical and civilised principles. |

| Title: Emerging Central Asia |
| Sub-title: Managing Great Power Relations |
| By (author): Kashif Hasan Khan, Halil Koch |
| ISBN10-13: 1682060306 : 9781682060308 |
| The end of the Cold War era has led to drastic changes in Eurasian geopolitics, particularly regarding energy politics in Central Asia and the Caspian Sea Region. The emergence of the newly independent Republics -- including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan -- shifted control from the Soviet Union and led to increased competition and cooperation between the regional and extra-regional powers for the rich energy and mineral resources of these states. This book aims to explore how the Central Asian Republics have managed their relations with small and major powers during the 25 years following the collapse of the USSR. The authors identify and discuss the questions like: what are the Central Asian states' interests and how they are pursuing them? What are the CAR states' relationships with these powers, and what is changing? Are the great powers outsourcing policing or security responsibilities to the CAR? |

| Title: Fethullah Gulen -- A Life of Hizmet |
| Sub-title: Why a Muslim Scholar in Pennsylvania Matters to the World |
| By (author): Jon Pahl |
| ISBN10-13: 1682060209 : 9781682060209 |
| In this first critical biography of Fethullah Gulen in English, historian Jon Pahl takes us on a journey where we discover wisdom and controversy, from 1940's Turkey to the U.S. in the twenty-first century. Pahl tells the story of a pious Muslim boy from a tiny and remote Turkish village who on the one hand has inspired a global movement of millions of individuals dedicated to literacy, social enterprise, and interreligious dialogue, but who on the other hand has been monitored by Turkish police, seen as a threat by autocrats, and recently declared number one enemy by the current Turkish dictator. With lively prose and extensive research, Pahl traces Fethullah Gulen's life and thought in its contexts, states clearly his own positions, and then lets readers draw their own conclusions from the evidence about this undeniably significant historical figure. |

| Title: First Scientist |
| Sub-title: Ibn Al-Haytham |
| By (author): Bradley Steffens |
| ISBN10-13: 1682060292 : 9781682060292 |
| Award-winning author Bradley Steffens introduces Ibn al-Haytham in this first full biography ever written about him. Though not a household name as far as the history of science goes, with his major contributions going largely unnoticed and uncredited, Ibn al-Haytham, who lived a thousand years ago, is finally being recognised as the world's first true scientist. Centuries before better-known researchers such as Roger Bacon, Leonardo da Vinci, and Galileo Galilei were born, Ibn al-Haytham investigated eyesight and the propagation of light in a profound manner, the likes of which had never before been fully utilised, and documented his findings in his magnum opus Book of Optics. By systematically using experiments to test his hypotheses, Ibn al-Haytham changed the course of human history, giving humankind a new and effective way of establishing facts about the natural world -- an approach known today as the scientific method. |

| Title: For the Sake of Allah |
| Sub-title: The Origin, Development and Discourse of The Gülen Movement |
| By (author): Anwar Alam |
| ISBN10-13: 1682060225 : 9781682060223 |
| This book explores the GÃ"len Movement, also known as Hizmet, a religio-social movement inspired by Fethullah GÃ"len, one of the most prominent Islamic scholars of Turkish origin in the modern world. Notwithstanding the current purge of Hizmet under the Erdogan regime, it is one of the most interesting faith-based movements to arise from a Muslim society in the twentieth century. Since the late 1960s, Hizmet has opened thousands of schools around the world and has also contributed to relief efforts in Turkey and abroad. In this book, Anwar Alam shares a decade of research and field work based on the religious, educational, political, and social contexts that have shaped the essential dynamics of both GÃ"len and the Movement. At a time when the GÃ"len Movement has been primarily analysed and debated through the state prism and security discourse, especially following the failed Turkish military coup of July 2016, this book takes a longue durée perspective and provides a holistic treatment of Hizmet as essentially a postmodern phenomenon. |

| Title: Genocide in the Making? |
| Sub-title: Erdogan Regimes Crackdown on the Gülen Movement |
| By (author): Bulent Kenes |
| ISBN10-13: 168206025X : 9781682060254 |
| The Turkish government under the Erdoğan regime is undertaking a brutal crackdown against the participants of a civic group, namely the GÃ"len movement, also known as the Hizmet (service) movement, with the deliberate intention of destroying this social group, in whole or in part. In this extensive research, Dr. Keneş argues that this crackdown is filled with violations that may be classified at the very least as crimes against humanity and could very well be the harbinger of what comes next in terms of a full-scale genocide to exterminate thousands of innocent people. Keneş exemplifies many of these crimes and scales them against the genocide criteria according to definitions and norms accepted by United Nations and field experts. Given that the international community has historically downplayed the early signs of genocidal acts and thus failed to prevent such crimes many times before, it is necessary to be on the alert before the Erdoğan regime goes that far. A Genocide in the Making? is a unique volume that loudly cries out to the world this highly probable risk before it is too late. |
