Incorporates both a thorough understanding of the Muslim worldview and practical approaches that explain the Bible in a way that does not clash with that worldviewAn approach that is theologically accuratepractical, and culturally appropriateI endorse this work.

Guy Armstrong

Practical advice for engaging the Islamic culture in conversations of the cross. My time studying Islamwould have had minuscule effect with my Muslim friends had it not been for the guidancein this book. Thank you for this wonderful tool!

Prologue
A Story of Friendship

I ll never forget the last day I lived in a Muslim country.

I had spent the morning doing the final preparations to leave the place and the people I had learned to love, so I could come back to finish my schooling in the United States. It was a sad day.

Around noon, a close friend, Ahmed, came over to visit me. He had been one of my closest friends for the last two years. He had befriended me at a time in my life when I was alone in a strange country. We had talked, traveled, studied, and fished together.

I had tried a number of times to bring up Jesus to him, but Ahmed, though always polite, seemed eager to leave the subject alone. He was as committed a Muslim as I had ever met. He was kind of like an Islamic youth pastor, volunteering his afternoons to serve and love underprivileged Muslim youth. When I would talk about Jesus, he would smile and say, You are a good man of faith. You were born in a Christian country and you honor the faith of your parents. I was born in Muslim country and I honor the faith of mine. You were born a Christian and will die a Christian. I was born a Muslim and I will die a Muslim.
