Item Description...
Overview
Like many women in the Church, Joy Loewen didn't fully understand Muslim women or their roles in the Muslim culture and religion. In fact, she was afraid of them and not particularly interested in befriending them. But with prayer, wisdom, and a lot of love, Joy overcame these obstacles, found that she actually liked them, and that many of these women are irresistibly attracted to the love of Jesus. For the last thirty years she has used this knowledge to build authentic connections with Muslim women, reaching out to them in a sensitive, effective way.
Publishers Description
Like many women in the Church, Joy Loewen didn't fully understand Muslim women or their roles in the Muslim culture and religion. In fact, she was afraid of them and not particularly interested in befriending them. But with prayer, wisdom, and a lot of love, Joy overcame these obstacles, found that she actually liked them, and that many of these women are irresistibly attracted to the love of Jesus. For the last thirty years she has used this knowledge to build authentic connections with Muslim women, reaching out to them in a sensitive, effective way.
In this practical and very personal book, Joy shares not only her insights into befriending Muslim women, but many helpful stories from her own experiences. Her goal is to help readers "move from fear to love and compassion" so that they, too, can love as Christ does. Woman to Woman is essential reading for Christian leaders, ministries, and any layperson who wants to grow in love for and understanding of Muslims. |

 | A "Must Read Book" - Joy Loewen's new book Dec 31, 2009 |
I just finished Joy Loewen's book "Woman to Woman - sharing Jesus with a Muslim friend." I read it in one sitting - I couldn't put it down.
One of her friends asked, "Joy, just exactly what do you do?" Joy answered, "Safia, I help prepare people for the next life."
She traces her own childhood journey of fear of Muslims from the time her father's train was attacked and looted by Somali bandits to her personal "visitation" from the Holy Spirit as an adult missionary in Pakistan.
Joy states, "Even I was surprised at the strength of my love and affection for Muslim people, many of whom have become my good friends. We speak different languages and have different customs and religions. Yet I feel at home with Muslims." She wants each reader to feel the same. By the time I finished her book I shared those sentiments.
This is not the usual "how to" book on reaching Muslims for Christ. It is riveting with every page and story smelling of gun smoke and lavender. From story to story she guides her women friends as they taste the salt and see the light of Christ.
She also crams the book with practical illustrations such as using candy canes to explain the Gospel, simple piano songs about Jesus, and Halloween masks that reveal who we really are before God. She shares the meaning of names, the veil and artificial fingernails as purification before God, walking through the "houses of their lives," as well as praying with and for them in Jesus' name.
This book is more than delightful - it is a `must read' for men as well as women. Why? If we fail to grasp the message of this book we will never really understand Muslims or their culture at all. So, whatever good books are on your reading list, move this one to the front. It will be worth it!
