Drawn from one of the fastest growing Muslim movements to Christ in history, the Camel reveals how Muslim-background believers in South Asia are winning their friends and family to faith in Jesus Christ, resulting in more than 100,000 baptisms. Kevin Greeson's The Camel provides insights and easy-to-follow guides that will enable any Christian to lovingly and effectively bridge their Muslims from the Qur'an into the New Testament gospel story.
The motivations of this book are surely in good faith. Yet, pragmatics were the basis of this method which unsurprisingly led to poor biblical support and exegesis (the authors treatment of John 5 was especially lacking). There is also the assumption of another missions model of the "Church Planting Movement/Disciple Making Movement" vein throughout much of the book (don't read as scare quotes, but as an FYI to prospective readers). The bridges from the Quran are the most helpful part of the book, yet given the build up to the evangelistic methods it almost reads like the proverbial "tail wagging the dog." If the CAMEL method is simply a tool in the tool belt and not the axiomatic "silver bullet" of Muslim evangelism then well and good, but practitioners should be wary of making this THE answer to mission strategy among Muslims.
Great book for practical ways to share the gospel using multiple bridges from the Quran to the gospel. I've read several books hoping to find something like this, but left feeling that they were really all theory, but this really delves into the actual verses in the Quran the point to Jesus. It not only does that, but gets you thinking of questions and responses. I really enjoyed reading this book. The last 2 or 3 chapters are the meat of how to apply this bridge method and is really practical for ministry.
