Book Title

Crossing the Barriers

Introduction


In this world today, we in the English speaking countries are fed on a constant diet of “Moslems are bad, evil people”. They are to be avoided, rejected, opposed and stopped in their tracks. We “christians” (yes small c) are so much better that we deserve because of our righteousness. The media outlets seem to frequently exploit some aspect of this deception. Our fear and hostility is fed and nurtured, even within the Christian church. Is it any wonder that terrorism has found fertile soil in which to grow? Then along comes an author with an intimate knowledge and background of contact with Moslems. A person born and bred in the Arab world yet someone who has been in Christian ministry for over 30 years. The author reveals a refreshingly simple approach to the question of how to relate to Moslems. The approach, presented here, I have not observed in any other contemporary author. It is what I expect Jesus would do and what I believe He would have us do on His behalf.

I recommend the book as a refocus for us all. If the Christian world applied these principles the problem of terrorism & even Islam itself would quickly fade. These principles are so universal that they are appropriate for all peoples.
I am pleased to recommend this book and give honour to its Author and to George.

Why another Book?

With the move of the Holy Spirit in this time of History and the Lord restoring the Apostolic authority inside and outside the Church, I believe the time is now to reach out to all the World, including the Muslim World and witness the great work of the Holy Spirit in the life of Muslims today.
The Christian people are not ready to reach out to Muslims, especially the Christians who live in the western world. God’s heart's desire is to equip Christians around the world to win millions of Muslims for Jesus.
The Church has a wrong understanding about the commission of Jesus. And for political reasons it’s not reaching Muslims.
Many Church leaders are too busy preaching about the prophecy of the last days and ignoring evangelising Muslims. The Church is busy preaching personal prosperity (the American Gospel) instead of preaching the Gospel of Jesus. The western Churches have become part of the problem instead of being part of the solution in dealing with Muslims.
Many friends and believers have asked me to write this book, so the Church:


a)Will be set free from the fear and misunderstanding Islam.
b)Will find help and wisdom to reach out and touch Muslims.
c)Will gain better understanding of Muslims and Islam.
d)Will learn practical methods to communicate with Muslims.
e)Will learn to be a bridge builder to the Muslim culture.


Muslims are in our midst. What should we do about them? Do we neglect them or love them and reach them with the Gospel of Jesus. We should not be like the leaders in the time of Jesus, isolating ourselves from the people. Some Churches have never tried to reach Muslims. Today if you invite a Muslim to Church what Gospel will he hear?
