You hear about them in the news everyday. Many people associate them with terrorism and cruelty. Some admire their willingness to die for their faith. Others wonder if there is more to Islam than fanaticism and martyrdom. And Christians ask, "how do we respond in faith and love to these people?" This question is more pressing than ever. Phil Parshall understands the Muslim heart and mind. Living as a missionary among Muslims, he knows them - not as a band of fanatics on the evening news, but as individuals, some good, some bad. In this very warm, very personal book he looks at what Muslims believe and how their beliefs affect - and often don't affect their behavior. He compares and contrasts Muslim and Christian views on the nature of God, sacred Scriptures, worship, sin and holiness, mysticism, Jesus and Muhammad, human suffering, and the afterlife.
