World events won't let North Americans ignore Muslims anymore. Whether those Muslims are villagers in Iraq or neighbors down the street, Breaking the Islam Code offers everyday Christians profound insight into the way Muslims think and feel. J.D. Greear's ability to communicate challenging heart truth, plus his expertise in Christian and Islamic theology and two years' experience in a Muslim-dominated area, make him the perfect author for this empowering, insightful, reader-friendly book. It transcends traditional apologetics, focusing on helping Christians *understand what is deep in Muslims' hearts, behind their theology--which will lead to friendship and effective communication of the gospel *respectfully turn many of the primary objections into opportunities to share the faith *avoid unnecessarily offending Muslims they're interacting with Readers will be excited that sharing Christ with Muslims is something they can do--as everyday Christians in their own cities, campuses, and workplaces. www.breakingtheislamcode.com Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

One special note: Don't stop reading when you complete the final chapter, continue on and read the Appendix, titled "Speaking In Islamic Code." This chapter is all about contextualization, or how to frame the gospel and if a Christian should adopt Islamic practices, terms, use of the Quran, traditions, etc., when proclaiming the gospel. It is an important topic when sharing God's word with Muslims and one each church and missionary should understand and pray about.
I did find myself disagreeing with the author on one point: the reason more Muslims are not reached with the gospel. The author believes the reason more Muslims are not reached is a lack of faith in the Christian community. He states, "I become more and more convinced that what keeps God's power from pouring out on a particular people is not a lack of willingness or ability on God's part, but unbelief on the part of the church!" Yes, more Christians need the faith of a mustard seed to rely upon God, and the willingness to go and proclaim the truth, but I don't believe that we can limit God's sovereign plan of salvation. When God is ready for mass revival amongst the Muslims, He will raise up missionaries and pour His Holy Spirit out upon the Muslim population. In fact, I believe there is evidence that this is already underway.
Still, this disagreement is minor in light of the overall purpose of the book, which is exceptionally well done. I heartily endorse this book as a relatively quick read packed with useful equipping information for the evangelical Christian. ( )
