Items related to The Seven Commandments for Happiness and Prosperity
This book will take the reader on an enchanting journey through the history of religion to discover the seven key principles that can bring you happiness and riches. The journey begins in prehistory when men worshipped multiple gods in forms of stone and wood. They sacrificed animals, humans, and even children to please these gods. The great Commandments of Moses were a revolutionary act of liberation. But as we shall see, the Israelites did not always follow them, and they suffered the consequences. Their story is indeed a testament to us today of what not to do if you want success in this life—and the next. The simplified Commandments of Jesus made them easier to follow, and offered them to all people. But wickedness in the name of Christianity by church leaders and average Christians came after lip service to the Commandments. The Arab people were still worshipping idols of many gods when they came in contact with Jews and Christians. One of them learned of their God and brought Commandments to his people, but like Jews and Christians, many Muslims went astray. The central theme of this book is to illustrate the fortunes and misfortunes of people who either decide to be inspired by grace to follow the Commandments, and achieve inner and outer peace, or to flout the Law and suffer the consequence.

About the Author:
Shari Sharifi Brown has spent her life between Iran and the United States. She was born a Shiite Muslim in Isfahan, Iran. She came to the United States to study and earned a B.S. in Engineering. She returned to Iran for work as a structural engineer. After the Iranian Revolution, she moved back to the United States and has now lived here for over 30 years. Although being born a Muslim in pre-revolutionary Persia, she converted to Christianity in school and married into a Jewish-American Family. She has lived all three of the Abrahamic religions that this book is based upon. Her deep-rooted adherence to these religions led her to understand their innate compatibility. She has debated priests, rabbis, and mullahs on the meaning of their texts. Through her lifetime of study and practice of these philosophies, she came to an important conclusion: we must follow the key elements of all three major religions to make us whole and secure. She contends that the similarities of the three outweigh the differences. Mrs. Brown has boiled down the principles of the three faiths into seven easy-to-follow commandments that history shows—as related in this book—bring personal happiness and prosperity. She lives in Southern California with her husband, Ed Brown, and their two children. Also, Shari is the Founder and the President of the SSB Foundation and the Sharifololama Foundation and the President of the Trans Global Consulting Engineers Company.
