Description
“This is a very helpful and practical book on an important subject, i.e.,
sharing the Gospel of Jesus with our Muslim friends. Having been
instructed on how to share the Christian faith with others, it is very
easy for us to pursue this on a ‘one size fits all’ basis. The author
gently corrects this approach by showing us that it is best to start
from the Quran rather than the Bible. It reminds us that Jesus takes
us as we are – as we are, not where others would initially like us to
be. The testimonies and personal experiences which William Masih
shares with us to make the subject real rather than merely theoretical. An
excellent touch! I am sure this book will be of real benefit to all who
read it and be used as a source of reference, especially in the matter of
‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts’. It is a pleasure and honour to commend it to you.”
