Written by Dr. Jerald F. Dirks.

Describes in vivid prose how the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, used to remember Allah and pray to Him. The intimate relationship with Allah, which was the hallmark of the Prophet's life, becomes clear and vivid. The books contents are immensely relevant to the life and concerns of modern man, whose life has been made barren by the present secularist machinery. Translated by Yusuf Talal Delorenzo from Arabic work by Shaykh Muhammad Ghazali (d. 1416 AH).

In What You Weren't Taught In Sunday School, Dr. Jerald Dirks, a former ordained minister (deacon) in the United Methodist Church and a graduate of Harvard Divinity School, kicks open the door and reveals some of the skeletons hidden in the closet of Biblical and Christian history—skeletons that raise disturbing questions.

Every Muslim feels the need to see the teachings of Islam put into practice. Since the life of Prophet Muhammad, in all its aspects, was the personification of the Qur'anic teachings, one has to read his biography to see Islam in action. Drawing on primary sources, Imam Vehbi Ismail presents a highly readable biography of the Prophet of Islam to the young American Muslims and adults who look for an authentic easy-to-read biography of the Last Prophet. The book is highly recommended for Middle and High School students and for inclusion in summer reading lists by schools and public libraries. What sets this book apart from the many on the market place is its extensive coverage, modern illustrated maps of events, carefully worded questions for each chapter (workbook), transliteration table and a comprehensive glossary of Arabic terms used which also makes it suitable for classroom use as a textbook.

A combination of a smooth style and rich content will make it undoubtedly a source of inspiration for young readers.
