This publication organises and presents for the first time an extensive collection of letters from and to the Saudi leader reflecting the evolution over fifty years of his status, authority, style and statesmanship. For the most part, the letters are in both Arabic and English. The first items date from the years after his fabled recapture of Riyadh in 1902, when Abdul Aziz emerged as Amir of Nejd. The last letters are from the year of King Abdul Azizs death, 1953. In between there are such historical highlights as the resistance to the Turks culminating in their defeat and removal; relations with the Sharif of Mecca; correspondence with Philby; relations with Al-Rashid, tribal raiding and the problems of controlling the Ikhwan; relations with Hijaz; the boundary with Jordan; regional politics with Iraq, Kuwait and Yemen; and in the later years, concerns with customs, oil exploitation and development.

This book is about some everyday challenges that we hear about and face throughout the year. It's written in poetry form, with a touch of inspiration that's delivered as only the Holy Spirit could. It's a book that deserves immediate attention. This book is written by an author who has dealt with similar challenges throughout his life. This book would also make a good coffee-table conversational piece. It's a book that any of our grandparents would approve of when it comes to the values in which we were taught. I've spent years finding the right words to say to a percentage of humanity that is hurting. This manuscript is a guide of encouragement to enhance our parenting skills. It's not meant to be used to point fingers at one another but to motivate. The rhythmic form was very difficult starting out, but I stayed focused. My advice to you is this: apply yourself. This book is to be read on a daily basis to strengthen your family values. I put my all into this manuscript just to say, "Enough is enough, it's time to parent."
