Heads of state, diplomats, and those whom we serve, on the work and impact of TRAC5.
"With this important new work, Mr. Siljander has courageously stood up to be counted."
"I cannot overstate the importance of Mark's strategic efforts to defuse the activities of radical Muslims worldwide. Many are convinced that he is on the cusp of what will prove literally to be the tipping point in realigning radical terrorist enemies."
"A thought-provoking revelation and awakening that all should read and heed. Unless solutions are forthcoming soon, the world can expect an apocalyptic event affecting billions of people."
"…as a Christian layman interested in peace and reconciliation. You have been a neutral intermediary between the Sudanese government and me at critical moments to convey diplomatic messages where there was a high risk of misunderstanding or miscalculation. I believe your efforts to get Sudanese high level cooperation and attention to the real issues in Darfur, without taking sides, has been a unique service which would have been very difficult for secular groups to accomplish."
"A blueprint for breaking this logjam of dissension that contributes to so much conflict today."
"Resolving existing hostilities between Muslims and Christians will require that we deal with the ideas behind the guns. This book does a masterful job of pointing the way."
"A blueprint to challenge the 'Ideology of Terror' that threatens our way of life."
"An incredibly important work in the field of ideology change related to terrorism and war."
"I believe passionately that Mark has discovered a real pathway here — a means to open dialogue that we have not seen in centuries."
"Siljander calls for a 'friendship diplomacy' so that religions can become paths to love, paths to peace, and therefore paths to God. In a quietly passionate voice that speaks to our hearts, Siljander shows us how we can go from diversity to unity and from conflict to peace."
"Mark Siljander is one of these bridge-builders. His book teaches us how to transform barriers into bridges and promote respect and understanding between Muslim and Christian believers."
"This is very good work Mark has been doing: building bridges, looking at what unites us as humans, and addressing our fears and prejudices with rational argument and love."
"One of the most exciting areas of contemporary research in Jewish/Christian/Muslim relations."
"Mark's knowledge and understanding of the Aramaic language of the Scriptures has given him a wide acceptance among Muslim religious and political leaders. I believe this book will be a breakthrough to overcoming the Muslim/Christian divide."
"Former Congressman Mark Siljander has been in Sudan for the past week to make a personal appeal for Mr. Jasek on Hardwired's behalf, which led to his release."
"This is an organization that is spiritually based, person-to-person, and its approach was hugely successful at encouraging the release of Mr. Petr Jasek."
"I was given an extraordinary inside look into the world of Jesus-based relational diplomacy that TRAC5 advocates for, and I saw up close and personal not only that it works, but how it works."
