Abiding Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“Dick Brogden's latest book is an academic perusal of various subjects relating to missionary work grounded in the spiritual discipline of abiding in Christ. It is a penetrating tome that both convicts and spurs one on to seek a deeper intimacy with Christ.”

Bearing God's Name

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Professor Imes refuses to divide the Bible into a simplistic dichotomy of rigid law and abounding grace. Her goal is to highlight continuity between Sinai and Calvary; between lawgiver Moses and grace-dispenser Jesus. . . . Imes skillfully highlights the teachings of Sinai law throughout the New Testament. Yes, grace and mercy win out, but within a proper understanding of the foundation which was laid by Yahweh in the first covenants. My favorite emphasis of Imes's writings centers on her exposition of 'chosen people.' Yes, Israel, but now all tribes, all races, all linguistic flavors can be included in the massive throng of the new chosen people who will one day gather at the Throne of God and sing in glorious unison, 'Hallelujah, for our God almighty reigns!' Well done, Professor Imes.”

Contextualization or Syncretism?

Evangelism & Missions

“Brotherson has crafted a classic exploration of issues that divide Evangelicals on the subject of how far is too far in contextualizing the gospel in ministry among Muslims. . . . He is concerned that the Insider Movement has inadequately exegeted a variety of Scripture passages. This work is the best I’ve seen by an experienced practitioner. I highly commend Brotherson’s book.”

Effective Discipling in Muslim Communities

Evangelism & Missions

“Dr. Don Little has written a practical book regarding discipleship of believers from Muslim backgrounds (BMBs). Little writes from a background of academic research as well as many years spent in actually discipling BMBs. Much of his research and conclusions are drawn from his in-depth interviews with seventy-five seasoned disciplers of BMBs. Little spends significant time exploring the unique problems one experiences in discipling BMBs and offers helpful guidelines in dealing with such situations. Multiple books have been written concerning power encounter, signs, wonders and exorcism, but Little is unique in relating these subjects to discipling BMBs. His insights are valuable. I highly recommend this excellent addition to the literature that seeks to show disciplers how to become more effective in discipling believers.”

Fresh Vision for the Muslim World

Evangelism & Missions

“Kuhn incarnated his life and witness in the Middle East for many years. Kuhn's love for Muslims shines throughout this volume. His assessment of the current 'clash of civilizations' is one of the best I have read.”

From Cairo to Christ

Evangelism & Missions

“From Cairo to Christ explores the difficulties Muslim converts face as they convert to Christ. Author Abu Atallah is an Egyptian who writes as an insider who became a believer decades ago. Those unacquainted with Islamic beliefs and practices will appreciate this easy-to-read primer.”

The Qur'an in Context

World Religions

“Mark Anderson has produced an excellent, incisive, well-researched book highlighting similarities and distinctives between the Qur'an and the Bible. His research is impeccable and his conclusions will stand the test of scholarly investigation. Anderson avoids the pitfalls of inflammatory us-them polemics. He enters into the realities of the Muslim worldview by exploring the seventh-century context of the Qur'an, on which Muslim belief and behavior is built. Without reservation, I commend Anderson's work to all who desire to move beyond 'breaking news' and sensationalism and come to grips with the inside story of who Muslims really are.”

Union with God in Christ

Evangelism & Missions

“Matt Friedman has done a superb job of unlocking the inner meanings of Islamic mysticism. He has thoroughly researched early Muslim writers who sought to syncretize Islamic orthodox theology with the more experiential quest of the Sufis from whom love and union with God were the ultimate spiritual attainment. Friedman is not content to simply describe the heart hunger of God-seekers within the Muslim community. As a nearly two-decades-long resident among Muslims, Friedman probes into how the Christian message can, without compromise, be contextualized in such a way as to be compellingly attractive to his Sufi-oriented audience. Without reservation, I recommend this groundbreaking book to all who desire to explore new approaches to Muslim evangelism.”
