The Seven Commandments for Happiness and Prosperity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781544842264)

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.
