Sommaire:
"A war is raging for the minds and souls of Muslims today, " writes Nabeel Jabbour. "The eternal welfare of 1.4 billion people is at stake. They are being pulled in two directions - fanaticism on the one hand and moderation and open-mindedness on the other. How we deal with this window of opportunity will determine our relations with Muslims for generations to come." At the same time, the Christian church must realize Jesus died for Muslims. In this book, Dr. Jabbour aims to help Western Christians go beyond mere tolerance to a passion for Muslims. He explains how that can be done in ways that are sensitive to Islamic culture, and he presents suggestions on how to build vital relationships with Muslims.
