It's the end of Sukkot and the traditional Jewish calendar that means Simchat Torah, the joy of the Torah.

It's time for The Line of Fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian, Dr. Michael Brown, your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution.

Michael Brown is the director of the Coalition of Conscience and President of Fire School of
