Excellent book! I have read and reread it and I rarely ever read a book twice!
His focus on loving our "enemy" is so much needed in our world where fear, antagonism and hatred dominate our attitudes and that even among followers of Jesus!
This resource has profoundly impacted me causing me to seriously rethink my attitude and actions toward not only Muslims but people of other or no faith.
I cannot enough highly recommend this book to those who want to better understand Islam, Muslims, and what Jesus has to say to us as his followers.
Bottom line is that I am now seeking to wage peace on Islam and Muslim by loving the people I used to view as my enemies.

Incredible. I have always thought that the best way to reach Muslims is to focus on our common ground rather than on our differences. I especially enjoyed the individual stories on how Muslims enjoy talking about Jesus. True believers in Jesus need to focus on "loving our neighbor" and this book provides great examples of how to do just that. Be a Light!!
