B I B L I O N - A C H R I S T I A N B OO K M AG A Z I N E Faith – providing the reader refe- rences to the Quran as well, with a simple introduction and a few basic teachings. Reading this book along with the Bible will help you focus on key principles. On the other hand, it gives us practical suggestions, useful in evangelistic discussions with Mus- lims on Bible chapters, hospitality, the local church and suffering in evangelism. With absolute reliance in God and the Gospel, we may very well witness the greatest revival among the Muslim people in history. Thabiti himself has crossed the gap between Islam and Christianity. He tells his story in the book, from his conversion to Islam in college and his contempt for Christianity, all the way to his pledge before Jesus. At that time he sought to equip himself with every possible argument to ridicule his Christian classmates. It was in this relentless search that he realized the discrepancies found in the Quran and sought to consult the Bible’s very text. Surprisingly, when he tried to confirm Mohammad’s prophecies in the Bible, such was not possible and his assumptions were left void of any support, which meant Islam could not be the true religion. This realization shocked him, and not only did he turn his back to Islam but to all religions as well. After a period of time in which Thabiti suffered from depression, the preaching and power of the Gospel finally touched him. The author gives special attention to the hospitality that the Christian must refine when dealing with his neighbor, especially with Muslims. If you’re not welcoming, then learn to be so. Thabiti exhorts Christians to go out and fulfill their call by bringing people of all nations to the knowledge of His son and eternal life, declaring that in the evangelism of Muslims, unlike what is com- monly thought, they too convert. +100 countries www.biblion.pt 19
