DEARBORN — On Friday, Aug. 30, the Islamic Institute of Knowledge hosted a book signing for community member Dr. Tallal Turfe’s new book, titled Children of Abraham: United We Prevail, Divided We Fail. 

This latest publication is only one of four books that Turfe has authored on Islam.

The book explores the commonalities between the Abrahamic faiths:  Judaism, Christianity and Islam. 

“There are more similarities, than differences, between the three religions,” Dr. Turfe says. 

Turfe is a retired executive from General Motors Company and a former professor of graduate and undergraduate studies in business administration at local universities. Some of his students have gone on to become CEO’s of companies. Turfe, 73, is also involved in various humanitarian efforts and has taught at the Islamic Center of America’s Sunday School for 16 years. He has also delivered lectures on Islam at public forums and has led several interfaith efforts. 

The book cost is: $29.95 for hardcover; $19.95 for the paperback and $3.99 for the e-book. It can be found on Amazon.com, BarnsandNoble.com, eBay.com and other sites. 

Another book signing for Turfe’s book will be held at the Islamic Center of America (ICA) on Sep. 15 at 11 a.m. For more information on the event, call the ICA at 313.593.0000.
