A Short Guide to Islam

A Biblical Response to the Faith of Our Muslim Neighbors

About this book

How can we love and understand our Islamic neighbors well?
 
Beth Peltola grew up in Southern Africa, and then moved to London to begin her career in missions serving a Turkish-speaking church for refugees and immigrants. She has spent her life training Christians in the tenets of Islam and Christian mission to Muslims. This accessible book will help Christians understand the beliefs of their Muslim neighbors so that they may love them and engage them in gospel conversations.
 
In this biblical response to Islam, you will learn:

  • The primary tenets of the Islamic faith
  • The common misunderstandings Westerners hold about Islam
  • How Christians can best respond and engage their Muslim neighbors

 
The world has moved into our neighborhoods. We have a great opportunity to love our Muslim neighbors like Jesus does.
