Sharing Jesus with Muslims

<p>Find a practical starting point for Christians to share the hope of Jesus with Muslims.</p>
<p>Since September 11th, 2001, relationships between Christians and Muslims have been marked by fear. Escalating violence in the Middle East leads to an association of Islam with persecution and terrorism, which leads many Christians to view Muslims as the enemy. Yet, the Bible gives clear instruction to move beyond fear and share the Gospel with all peoples, including Muslims. All Christians can be ambassadors for Christ to Muslims, without having to be an expert on Islam.</p>
<p>In <em>Sharing Jesus with Muslims</em>, Fouad Masri encourages Christians to cast aside fear, excuses, and differences and share the good news of Jesus. Packed with stories and conversation starters, this book gives readers tangible and respectful ways to initiate friendships and minister to the felt needs of Muslims.</p>
