This insightful book begins with the author's personal journey from Islam to Christianity. Even though his life and the life of his family was difficult and challenging at times as they left Egypt and came to the United States, the author makes a point to live without fear and ministers in a diverse neighborhood in the city of Chicago.
The book is divided in three sections. The first one details
the author's personal journey. The second section deals with the three problems
that the church faces which are inadequacy, ignorance, and indignation. The
third section talks about the three solutions which include love: from charity
to family, prayer: from practice to a lifeline and blessing: from comfort to
suffering.
At the end of each chapter there are questions to answer and
reflect upon. This book would be a thought-provoking study in a group and would
generate much discussion. This is a relevant topic for the church and for
Christians to discuss and put into practice in their communities.
I received this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for
this honest review.
