My "How I Will Be Voting on June 8th" is now up at www.kkla.com.

Our next book signing will be next Friday night, June 4th at 7pm, at the Barnes and Noble Americana in Glendale.

400-408 Bob Hamer, is a real-life Jack Bauer, a veteran FBI agent who's spent 26 years infiltrating and working undercover in the Russian mob, the Iraqi syndicate, the Crips, La Costa Nostra, and his last undercover, infiltrating NAMBLA, the North American Man-Boy Love Association.  A Marine, a law school graduate, a recipient of the FBI Director's Award for Distinguished Service, but most importantly, a husband and father, is out with his latest entitled Enemies Among Us (bobhamer.net).  It's set in Los Angeles, and it tells the story of Matt Hogan posing as a volunteer at a Christian medical charity that is supposed to be helping third-world children, but is instead, a front for terrorists.  It's published by Fidelis, a group led by Oliver North, of writers who are the real thing, combat veterans, world champion martial artists, and undercover agents.

• Bob just posted this comment about Shattered on Amazon.com,

I'm not really sure what I was expecting. I've been a guest on Frank's radio show and am so impressed (maybe even a little intimidated) by his intellect. I used to be a huge baseball fan and even though it may sound trite 9/11 changed me. I don't recall watching an entire sporting event since that day. Today my heroes wear Kevlar. So with Frank's new book I wasn't looking for another locker room jock snapping memoir or a Biblical exegesis. I was flying cross country and wanted an airplane read. I started reading and couldn't put it down. He not only entertained but he challenged me. This isn't a cookie-cutter come to Jesus book but the story of a man who struggled and questioned and persevered. Thanks, Frank. As soon as I got home I bought a copy for my dad for Father's Day.

458-508Hormoz Shariat, "the Billy Graham of Iran," is the founder of Iran Alive Ministries (iranaliveministries.org) he founded the Iranian Christian Church up in the Bay Area in 1987 which has now grown to four locations and over 400 members – all converts from Islam.  Hormoz is also the host of ICTV, a Christian call-in show in Farsi, beamed into Iran via satellite, where thousands each week make the decision to follow Jesus Christ.   In 1979, he was in the streets of Iran chanting "Death to America" as a good radical Muslim, then he came to USC to get a Ph.D. in computer engineering.  He was spiritually empty, with a divorce date set, and he reads the Koran one more time, not getting any direction.  Then he read the Gospel of Matthew and was confronted with the person of Jesus.  As a result, he came to faith in Christ at Church of the Open Door here in LA.  He's happily married, and lives in the Bay Area, with his three children.  Today, Iran has a population of 70 million, and 70% or 49 million of the them are under the age of 30.
