Four years in the making, A Worldview Approach to Ministry Among Muslim Women is a ground-breaking exploration into the way culture and worldview affect ministry among Muslim women. Using original field research from eight different language and culture groups, the book explores a variety of ministries among Muslim women and provides tools to analyze their effectiveness. With contributions from scholars, field workers and agency administrators, readers are encouraged in a holistic Muslim ministry perspective through in-depth studies in Muslim beliefs, anthropological tools, worldview analyses, and explorations in strategic issues and discipleship. The book concludes with case studies and discussion questions to provide a comprehensive training manual for workers and students alike.

Whether or not Muslim women wear veils, there have been veils between their faces and those of Christians who long to lead them to Christ. From the inside the veils have blurred the Muslim's view of Jesus, and from the outside they have obscured the Christian's perception of the variety of faces behind the veils and the divergent ways they see the world. The present book gives clarity to the views in both directions.

Reading this book is akin to slipping on cross-cultural glasses to see and better understand the worldview of Muslim women. It should be a "must-read" for those who endeavor to work in an Islamic context. This book will enhance your vision for effective ministry among Muslim women.

An excellent collection of reflections by academicians and practicioners. Particularly helpful are the several articles relating to Folk Islam and Sufism. The Muslim women case studies open up new vistas of spiritual and anthropological insights. Highly recommended.
