Reviews

[Joe Keefhaver]

This is a very straightforward statement of the Gospel message, so in that sense it is a good book. However, I was disappointed Murray only addressed in a fleeting manner the issue contained in its subtitle: "Why the Gospel of PEACE Must Trump the POLITICS of PROPHECY in the MIDDLE EAST."

[Emil Avedisian]

A much needed book reminding today's church, especially the Western Evangelical church, about what priorities Christians should have.
The Blind support for the State of Israel has turned many Muslims or people from a Muslim background away from the Christian faith. Abdu Murray, born in a Muslim family, speaks from his heart about a better approach, based on the Gospel itself.
