In an age when Christians are often more fearful and suspicious of Muslims than warm and relational, A Muslim’s Heart will help you understand Muslim culture and how to share Christ within the context. A practical, quick-to-read guide, this book is ideal for those befriending Muslims at home and abroad.
Short and practical overview of Islamic culture and beliefs. Gives personal stories and tips of how to share truth with Muslim friends. I loved the emphasis on the Holy Spirit’s role in drawing the lost to himself. Also emphasized the role of prayer for Muslims in the life of the witnessing believer. Gave specific prayer prompts and scriptures to read and pray over Muslims. Definitely has impacted my prayers. We are not attempting to gain “converts,” but rather disciples of Jesus. Highlighted the power of trusting relationships and stories, both personal and Jesus stories. I really enjoyed this read.
Maybe would give it a 4 or 4.5 but not for any real reason ?
A great introduction on Islamic thought and culture and how to love your Muslim neighbors. He is a little too gracious to the insider movement, but overall an insightful little book.
Overall, a great book. Well written. Filled with useful information combined with practical examples. I disagree theologically/missiologically with the author on a few topics (particularly in chapter 6), so I would recommend the book with a few cautions. But, I would still definitely recommend. A great book if you want to learn more about how to interact with Muslims with cultural sensitivity and build gospel-focused relationships with them.
This was such a good book for understanding how Muslims are brought up and why their values are so essential to their faith and commitments. There are things like the shame culture and forgiveness that westerners misunderstand and this small and very readable book answers many questions.
