"Today is the eleventh anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, DC. I remember the feeling I had in the days after those attacks -- a foreboding sense that we were in for years of religious hostility among Christians, Muslims, Jews, and others.

I didn't know then that a decade later I would be writing a book on Christian identity in a multi-faith world, or that on September 11, 2012, a brand-new publisher, Jericho Books, would publish 'Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road? (Christian Identity in a Multi-Faith World).'

I am so grateful that I was given a set of experiences and relationships that led to insights that led to the inspiration to write this book. And I am grateful to Travis Reed for capturing the essence of the book in this short film." -- Brian McLaren
