About the book

Christians often find themselves on the back foot when speaking with Muslims, struggling to answer questions about the divinity of Christ, the Trinity, and charges about the Bible having been corrupted. The authors – modelling their approach on Jesus’ methodology of teaching and engaging people with questions – present their own carefully constructed questions and answers. Along the way, they delve into what the Qur’an and other Islamic teachings say, so that conversations can get to the heart of the matter.

In this slim volume, the authors help the reader to grasp intelligently, two contrary world views, Islam and Christianity. This is a resource for those who wish to see their Muslim friends impacted by the life-giving power of the Gospel – a resource that encourages Christians to confidently engage their Muslim friends in serious and meaningful ways.

Commendations

“For anyone who might be daunted by the idea of speaking with Muslims about Jesus Christ, here is an excellent resource with a whole series of questions for conversation starters arranged in a simple set of topics. It is full of ideas and information and explanations, presented simply and briefly, and does not demand an expert knowledge of Islam. As someone who has engaged in this kind of evangelism, I can see that it could be a really useful resource, and I warmly commend it.”
Graham Nicholls, Director, Affinity

“This book is dynamite, jam-packed with powerful questions to trigger meaningful spiritual encounters. When talking with your Muslim friends, don’t be caught on the backfoot. This is a must-have tool for anyone who has a heart to share the love of Jesus with Muslims. ‘Questions to Ask your Muslim Friends’ not only suggests great questions but it also puts tools in your hands so you can set the agenda for a life-changing conversation.”
Dr Mark Durie, Director, Institute for Spiritual Awareness

“Drawing on years of ministry and extensive experience encountering Islam and its claims, the authors raise penetrating questions that open up opportunities to effectively share the life-giving truths of the Gospel and answer important questions that one might be reluctant to ask. This small book is a valuable resource for anyone who lovingly wants to help Muslims come to faith in Christ.”
