A practical starting point for Christians to share the hope of Jesus with Muslims.

Since September 11th, 2001, relationships between Christians and Muslims have been defined by fear. Increasing violence in the Middle East has caused Islam to be associated with persecution and terrorism and has led many Christians to view Muslims as the enemy. But the Bible provides clear instruction to move past fear and share the Gospel with all peoples, including Muslims. Every Christian can be an ambassador of Christ to Muslims, even without becoming an expert on Islam.

In Sharing Jesus with Muslims, Fouad Masri encourages Christians to set aside fear, excuses, and differences and share the good news of Jesus. Rich with stories and conversation starters, the book gives readers tangible and respectful ways to initiate friendships and minister to the felt needs of Muslims.

Sharing Jesus with Muslims serves as a step-by-step guide for effective witnessing, and includes:

• Conversation starters
• Insight into Muslim culture, including do's and don'ts
• Biblical responses to issues relevant to Islam
• Stories with practical application from Masri's forty years of ministry to Muslims
• Discipleship materials for ministering to Muslims

Void of judgement or guilt trips, pastors, ministry leaders, and everyday Christians will find their relationships with Muslims enhanced by the principles in this book. Pick up Sharing Jesus with Muslims and discover the joy of serving and relating to Muslims.

Reviews
'Every Christian will benefit from this book. It will help you better understand your faith, and it'll prepare you to lovingly and compellingly share of the message of Jesus with Muslims who matter massively to God. Read it for encouragement. Read it for clarity. Read it to deepen your compassion and increase your spiritual confidence. Just be sure to read it!' * Mark Mittelberg, author of the new Contagious Faith book and training course, and Executive Director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics (StrobelCenter.com) *
'Fouad Masri uses his unique platform to address what many of us consider a unique audience--but in reality the religion he masterfully addresses and counters represents one of the world's largest followings.' * Jerry Pattengale, founding scholar of Museum of the Bible (DC), University Professor, Indiana Wesleyan University, and author of forthcoming book The New Book of Christian Martyrs *
'In this book you will come across not only academic material but practical, simple ways to reach Muslims with the Gospel. I read this book more than once and was amazed to see how Fouad takes us on a journey through different parts of the world and different situations--with testimonies of Muslims responding to the Lord Jesus. I also appreciated his focus on the Word of God as the main source in our witness to Muslim friends. The book not only gives us practical ways to reach Muslim friends, but also reminds us of our responsibility to care for them once they have come to Christ.' * Dr. Samuel Naaman, Professor of Intercultural Studies, Director of MBI Missions Conference, Moody Bible Institute *
'Since 1993 there has been a 'voice in the wilderness' with a focused clarion call to Christ followers. Fouad Masri has consistently called the Church to the mission of looking beyond one's personal boundaries and biases to share the hope of Jesus with Muslims personally and relationally. This book is unique to all other of his writings in this: There has not in recent history been a time when the role of Jesus has been more misunderstood and vague. The bottom line of what we are called to share with Muslims, touted creatively in this writing, is Jesus. All the cups of coffee, iftar gifts, and friendship building are meaningless unless Christ Jesus is made real through us to our Muslim neighbor. This book challenges the reader beyond fascination toward personalization of the Gospel.' * Steve Helm, Executive Director of Crescent Project and pioneer in developing sustainable "business as mission" enterprise solutions in over nine countries *
'Who better than Fouad Masri to give the Church a tutorial on reaching Muslims for Jesus Christ? I can think of no one. In this book, Brother Fouad lets you into his world, his years of sharing his life and love for the Lord Jesus Christ with countless Muslim men and women. As you walk with him, you too will gain confidence to obey our Lord's commission to make disciples of all nations, including the Muslim ones.' * Dr. David Garrison, Missionary author, A Wind in the House of Islam, Executive Director, Global Gates *
