What People Are Saying
In life as in football, the best offense is a great defense and also the best defense is a great defense. During this time of increasing anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, anti-American violence responses at many levels are needed. Community self-defense, both physical and verbal requires training and practice. Knowing the truth is insufficient. Jerry Verlin’s book, Here and Now: U.S. Jews and the Issues Confronting Us, provides a ready source of historical background in an easily retrieved format. It will hopefully serve as a counter to the lies and distortions all too often being passed as newsworthy.

For years Mr. Verllin has been calling out in his weekly emails the disgusting anti-Israel bias in the media and revealing the truth. His brilliant commentary is gathered in his wonderful new book Here & Now. It is a must read.

Best to have at least fair knowledge of history to appreciate the book but it is a fantastic testament of one man’s work over many years making the case for support of Israel. Likely 5 stars for those already with fair to good knowledge of the history

There are so few places to rely on for facts, reason, and truth about Israel. Israel is the country that is surrounded by military enemies in the Mideast and by propaganda minded enemies around the globe. Thank goodness for Mr. Verlin and his book Here & Now. In a mere 200+ pages, he covers a tremendous amount of history, politics, and effects of propaganda focused on that little state we know as Israel. Verlin has done much to rally opinion around the flag of truth and common sense.

If you know a lot about Israel, you’ll learn even more from this collection. If you aren’t too familiar with the past and present history of Israel and want to know more (in an entertaining format), check out Jerry Verlin’s book, a product of his decades of study on the subject.
