Breaking the Islam Code: Understanding the Soul Questions of Every Muslim
Ebook
Overview
World events won’t let North Americans ignore Muslims anymore. Whether those Muslims are villagers in Iraq or neighbors down the street, Breaking the Islam Code offers everyday Christians profound insight into the way Muslims think and feel.
J.D. Greear’s ability to communicate challenging heart truth, plus his expertise in Christian and Islamic theology and two years’ experience in a Muslim-dominated area, make him the perfect author for this empowering, insightful, reader-friendly book. It transcends traditional apologetics, focusing on helping Christians
*understand what is deep in Muslims’ hearts, behind their theology—which will lead to friendship and effective communication of the gospel
*respectfully turn many of the primary objections into opportunities to share the faith
*avoid unnecessarily offending Muslims they’re interacting with
Readers will be excited that sharing Christ with Muslims is something they can do—as everyday Christians in their own cities, campuses, and workplaces.

“Your book…has helped me communicate much more effectively with Muslims who are seeking the Truth. Now, rather than arguing with my Muslim friends, I end up sharing with them at deeper levels with words and ideas that they can understand and that are found in Scripture from Genesis to Revelation…This book has completely revolutionized the way I share the gospel with Muslims.”
—Patrick F., missionary to Afghanistan
“The hard work of engaging Muslims, gaining insight into their mind-set and heartfelt spiritual quest, then applying…Scripture to their needs is evident throughout this book…Valuable reading for those engaging Muslims in a variety of settings.”
—Keith Eitel, Director of Missions at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
“Practical advice for engaging the Islamic culture in conversations of the cross. My time studying Islam…would have had minuscule effect with my Muslim friends had it not been for the guidance…in this book. Thank you for this wonderful tool!”

“Rarely have I been so moved by the clarity, freshness, and effectiveness of any contribution…to reaching our world in our time…the way Breaking the Islamic Code moved me. This...approach trumps any I have seen on the bottom line, which is actually reaching Muslims with the gospel.
