Islam has traditionally been reputed to be one of the most difficult religions in the world to reach with the Christian message. In this book, the author deals both with the chief religious and sociological obstacles that traditionally have prevented the wide-spread acceptance of the Christian message and offers possible, and in some ways radical, solutions. Mr. Parshall concludes that, far from being fazed by the admittedly dismal picture of Christian work in the Muslim lands, this rather should spur us to additional effort in these, the closing years of our century.
the author is no armchair strategist. He writes from a Biblical perspective reinforced by fourteen years of Christian work in the Muslim country of Bangladesh. He reveals a deep understanding and appreciation of Muslim religion and culture and a genuine love for the Muslim people. In this book one finds a wholesome balance between theory and practice, between knowledge and experience.
While the primary application of this book is to Western personnel in Muslim missionary work, its insights and conclusions are of value to believers of all national backgrounds who have the good of Muslims and the success of Muslim missionary enterprise at heart.
The worldwide demand for this book has been overwhelming and it has been accepted as a Textbook in several Bible Colleges abroad.
