It’s the most important question no one is asking…
Author Coren Jonathan Allen is a retired U.S. Army Soldier on a mission to combat Hate and bring a message of enduring Hope to humanity.
Allen and his George Mason University colleagues from the Persian Gulf and Sub-Saharan Africa give a brief book talk followed with a Q&A session, book signing and pictures as requested.
When and where there is drought (of either soil or soul)...life is difficult.
What if it Just Started Raining? details a simple conversation between a boy and his father. Their exchange reveals a series of powerful truths that will benefit children and adults alike.
As rain replenishes the earth, and thus the body…smiles replenish the soul, kindness & generosity replenish the heart, and forgiveness replenishes the mind.
The science is inescapable.
We believe that difference and diversity are to be celebrated and what make this an incredibly rich and beautiful planet to inhabit.
We further stipulate that humans are better off when we acknowledge and embrace our common humanity. There is no superior category.
There is only one human race.
Coren Jonathan Allen is a retired US Army Soldier, author and aspiring entrepreneur.

He believes that Hate is a Contagion of the soul and intends to combat Hate through educational immunology--and further, drive this initiative to policy. In so doing he will bring a message of enduring Hope to the entire planet. Coren has traveled and worked in more than 29 countries on 5 continents.
