He is a graduate of Valley Forge Christian College with a Bachelor of Science in Theology. Matt is the founder of Missionaries to the Preborn (MissionariesToThePreborn.com).

Pete Hendrickson is possibly the most effective lawyer in history, even while never having set foot in a law school, nor ever being a card-carrying member of "the bar". He is the first American in history to secure complete refunds of Social Security and Medicare ‘contributions’ withheld from his earnings (along with all other property taken for federal taxes). Since publication of his first book, ‘Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America,’’ in 2003, tens of thousands of students of his legal analyses have retained and recovered billions of dollars which otherwise-- wrongly, but as a matter of course-- would have gone to federal or state government treasuries. This despite concerted efforts by government to suppress his work, and in some cases vigorously oppose the claims by his students.

Hendrickson is also a widely-read essayist on matters of politics, public policy and law; many of these works are collected in his second and third books, ‘Upholding the Law And Other Observations’ and 'Was Grandpa Really a Moron?'. He is a member of Mensa; an award-winning artist; and has paid his dues as a youth soccer coach. He is a long-time political activist as well, and has served as co-chair and platform convention delegate of Michigan’s largest county Libertarian Party organization; as a consultant to the National Right to Work Foundation and Citizens for a Sound Economy; as a member of the Heartland Institute; and as a member of the International Society for Individual Liberty. He is a frequent radio-show guest on stations across the country.

Hendrickson makes his home in southeast Michigan, with his wife and son-- his daughter now lives in Arkansas. He is currently working on his next book.

Usama was born in Egypt and grew up in a Christian home. While in government schools in Egypt, he learned about Islam just as every other student does in a Muslim country. Usama studied for a university degree in Egypt which included the study of Sharia, Islamic Law. He first came to America in 1992. With his knowledge about Islam, he felt he could reach out to Muslim people in America with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thus he began The Straight Way of Grace Ministry. 

Usama earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology and a Master’s Degree in Missiology from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Because Arabic is his native language, he discovered that the commonly used English translations of the Qur’an were full of misrepresentations that minimized its violent teachings as written in the Arabic text. He is the author of The Generous Qur’an, an accurate English translation; Exposing the Truth about the Qur’an, the Revelation of Error , Volumes 1 & 2; and Exposing the Truth about Jihad, Holy War in the Bible, Volume 1; and the booklets “The Straight Way to Eternal Life” and “The Violent Verses of the Qur’an.” He also does a daily radio show “Revealing the Truth about Islam” on VCY, weekly TV broadcasts on Channel 30 and the internet, and is a conference speaker throughout America and Canada.Call: 941-223-3698
