“Both timely and urgently needed, The Crucifix on Mecca's Front Porch invites readers to reflect on the stark differences between Christianity and Islam and to appreciate the uniqueness of the Christian faith. "In this fascinating work, David Pinault carefully leads his reader through the often confusing thicket of Christianity and Islam's shared histories. He is the perfect guide, clearly and carefully explaining concepts and events that may seem foreign to modern Christians, yet are crucial to understanding Islam. All of this is then seasoned with Pinault's own experiences in the Muslim world, making this book a true rarity.”
