 | 25 year experience relating to Muslims May 29, 2010 |
| I was pleased with reading this book to understand what has worked with a 25 year American veteran on being in the middle east and daily relating to muslims. It will give me confidence (which I did not have) in relating to those muslims I may encounter here in America. | | | | Living the Faith May 11, 2010 |
| Carl Medearis shares a fascinating account of what he has learned from Muslims and how by sharing the Living Jesus walls of religion have come down. Very encouraging. I have little contact with Muslims, but was encouraged to have the same attitude toward anyone who has a different religious culture. | | | | Be Honest. Be Real. May 5, 2010 |
As I write this review, the calendar says that Thursday, May 6, is the National Day of Prayer in the U.S. and Franklin Graham is the co-honorary chair of the National Day of Prayer Task Force. He has been on numerous media outlets recently, apparently because his past comments about Muslims and the Islam faith created controversy at the Pentagon so they rescinded his invitation to speak.
What Franklin Graham thinks or believes about Muslims, however, is not important. What's important is how God views Muslims, Christ-followers and those of other faiths. No surprise--there's a lot of confusion about what's appropriate and "tolerant" when speaking of other faiths.
Good news! Carl Medearis, author of this important book, is an expert on Islam and lived in Lebanon for 12 years. He's a thoughtful and very interesting go-to guy on Christian-Muslim relationships. He sheds light (not heat) on the subject.
His counsel is God-honoring. He writes, "Throughout my time in the Middle East, whenever we would host interns or different youth teams at our facility, I always had one rule: Be honest, be real."
He adds, "Confess your faults. Treat others with more honor. Respect your friends' religion. Always assume that the person you are speaking with has a more holy life than you do, and treat them accordingly. Be the low man on the totem pole. Be the servant."
That heart oozes throughout his book and Medearis is the real deal. In a very unique, conversational style (it's not academic or theologically heavy), the author covers the basics, including: Islam's six articles of faith, the five pillars, what the Qur'an says about Jesus, women and Islam, "Jesus meets Jihad," practical ways to reach out to Muslims, and much, much more.
My favorite sections: the 12 stunning "stories of faith" sidebars, like "Snakes, Bibles and the Hotel Staff," and "Bin Laden's `Cousins' Hear the Good News." You'll also appreciate his list of 21 basic do's and don'ts, his recommended reading list, a glossary of terms and eight pages of comparisons on what the Qur'an says about Jesus and other spiritual themes--with side-by-side Old and New Testament references.
If my review doesn't grab you, then visit his breath-of-fresh-air website at [...]. It's clever, inviting and very funny. Listen to his Good Samaritan mini-talk on the homepage.
| | | | Must read for Believers going to the Muslim world. Mar 26, 2010 |
My wife and I are missionaries to the Muslim World (currently on short-term trip basis, but planning on moving full time shortly). Consequently I am continually studying and learning about Islam. This book is by far the best I have read. It is not the depth or even knowledge that is so impressive it is simply what it gives the reader. If you read this with an open heart you will find yourself gaining an understanding of Islam, a love for Muslims and a desire to befriend them. If you act on these using "methods" that Carl talks about you will soon discover the Joys of sharing life and Jesus with Muslims.
Be inspired. | | | | Muslim, Christians, and Jesus Mar 21, 2010 |
| Muslims, Christians and Jesus is a positive, uplifting and instructive book--it reminds those of us who are Christians what is important in our relationships with those of other faiths.Muslims, Christians, and Jesus: Gaining Understanding and Building Relationships | | | Write your own review about Muslims Christians And Jesus
