This book is written by a person who is a believer in Jesus Christ, yet is trying to relate, understand and draw near to those of the Muslim faith. This is a very well written book, one that will increase one's faith as a believer in Christ and allow a variety of insights into others beliefs and viewpoints of their religion. While giving a great overview of the Islam belief there is also the beginning dealing with Abraham and other leaders of faith. Author Patricia Bridewell gives a very detailed view of the development of Islam, what has happened over the course of time within that faith and the contemporary view today. She gives a detailed view of Christianity as well allowing one to see where one might fall into the belief of this faith.
She then deals with the question of what one must do after having the facts. She deals with such issues as: accept/join, hate/reject, ignore, convert and witness. These are great points to consider as one looks at both religions. This is a very well written book that not only provides information, but great facts of history to support each theory or belief.
I personally liked the end of the book which included; various notes, references and appendixes. This is without question a very vital part of the book and worth a tremendous amount of benefit to the reader. This portion of the book gives the reader many outside resources to research as well. I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend to anyone who is looking to learn more about Christianity and Muslims.
This book was provided by Readers Favorite for my honest review.
