Dinesh D'Souza
I have just started reading a book by Dinesh D'Souza. His father Allan D'Souza shared the gospel with my mum while she was working in Mumbai years ago and his uncle Terry D'Souza was instrumental in my dad's conversion.
Hes has written a very interesting article in The San Diego Tribune about how atheists are unable to explain why religious affiliation is growing worldwide. Here is an excerpt....I would recommend ypu to read the entire article here.
''Now imagine two groups of people – let's call them the Secular Tribe and the Religious Tribe – who subscribe to these two world views. Which of the two tribes is more likely to survive, prosper and multiply? The Religious Tribe is made up of people who have an animating sense of purpose. The Secular Tribe is made up of people who are not sure why they exist at all. The Religious Tribe is composed of individuals who view their every thought and action as consequential. The Secular Tribe is made up of matter that cannot explain why it is able to think at all.''

A lion and monkey funny
than 1 kg of meat a day.
The lion thought its prayers were answered, when one day a US Zoo
Manager visited the zoo and requested the zoo management to shift the lion
to US Zoo.
The lion was so happy and started thinking of a central A/c environment, a
goat or two every day.
On its first day after arrival, the lion was offered a big bag, sealed
very nicely for breakfast. The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to
see that it contained few bananas. The lion thought that may be they cared
too much for him as they were worried about his stomach as he had recently
shifted from India .
The next day the same thing happened. On the third day again the same food
bag of bananas was delivered.
The lion was so furious; it stopped the delivery boy and blasted at him,
'Don't you know I am the lion...king of the Jungle..., what's wrong with
your management? What nonsense is this? Why are you delivering bananas
to me?'
The delivery boy politely said, 'Sir, I know you are the king of the
jungle, but you have been brought here on a monkey's visa !!! '
Moral of the Story....
BETTER TO BE A LION IN INDIA THAN A MONKEY ELSEWHERE
