Break Down Walls and Stereotypes

Growing numbers of Muslims and Christians are living or working next to each other. Still, major barriers remain. Not only do mistrust and fear get in the way, so do misunderstandings. But it doesn't have to be this way.

In this updated and expanded edition of his groundbreaking book, Carl Medearis provides new insights into the top questions people have about Muslims, Muhammad, and Islam. With practical information and even more inspiring stories, he shares culturally sensitive ways for Christians to get to know Muslims on a personal level. You will learn:

- How Islam's "Pillars of Faith" are lived out in today's world
- What Muslims think about the Bible and Jesus
- How to bring up spiritual matters in conversations
- How events in the Middle East may affect friendships in the West
- And much more

Answering tough questions about terrorism, the global refugee crisis, and other key topics, Medearis shows that focusing on common ground, rather than differences, is the key to reaching out to the Muslims around you.
