The accounts of his wife and two young children offer a glimpse into the inner life of the family during this trying time. The heart of this story is not a man imprisoned, but a family united—in hope, love, and a pressing desire that God be glorified in all things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a world where mission strategies come and go and often fall short of being effective, Waheli distills his experience into twelve principles for building character to better serve the Lord and persevere in His call.

He demonstrates how we too can do this in a simple way that does not cause unnecessary offence and is, in fact, attractive to many Muslim listeners. In Calling on the Prophets you will learn about the Islamic understanding of our biblical prophets and also gain a better understanding of those prophets from a Christian viewpoint. More importantly, you will learn how you can use this understanding of the prophets to share your faith. By doing so, you will be following the example of the first apostles. While citing the prophets is not the key that unlocks every door, it is a wonderful thing to have in your toolbox.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ccite\u003eBrother CW \u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Mahabba Network, London \u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT3] [ENDORSEMENT4]\n\u003cblockquote\u003eWhen talking to your Muslim friend, have you ever quoted Paul when you easily could have quoted Psalms of David?

And by looking at the prophets, Colin helps us see how we can do better in getting our Muslim friends’ attention and helping them understand the message God wants them to hear. The result is a treasure box of sound and immensely practical advice. A great book, and highly recommended!

Colin Bearup stresses that love for Muslims is the priority. Our aim should be to have good relationships and to be able to speak truth understandably into the lives of the people around us. The stories of prophets such as Abraham, Joseph, and Jesus are very useful for opening a discussion and reading some verses from the Bible with our Muslim friends. Colin uses many good practical suggestions and examples to help us to be better prepared to meet those seeking and needing the Truth—the Lord Jesus. I am very thankful for this valuable new resource.
