Rick has given us not only a great book on missions, not only a great book on church planting, but an in-depth look at kingdom theology in action. I recommend it to ail those who want to finish the Great Commission of Jesus.

Unlike many recent books which feature ungrounded formulas or pleasant cliches, Muslims, Magic and the Kingdom of God will equip the reflective, application-oriented soldier of the Cross. These chapters are deeply grounded in the Word of God. Biblical theology and years of experience in the "trenches," plus unusual communication skills, combine to give us a book that is not merely a good read, but also a realistic manual for battling Satan and his forces. Love is giving us tools that, once applied, will contribute significantly towards the deliverance of tens of thousands of Muslims from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God's Son.

Rick Love provides many compelling suggestions in this volume. He blends the insights gained from field experience with the expertise of a biblical scholar. His analysis of the cultural setting of the Scriptures is accurate and often superior to the explanations of biblical scholars who often ignore the animistic phenomena or do not know how to explain them because of their Western orientation. This book can help struggling missionaries gain breakthroughs in ministering to people still afflicted by the tenacious grip of evil spirits.

In this volume, Dr. Love shows both compassion for Muslims and the ability to think and work within their context to present the life-giving message of Jesus Christ. The book is analytically superb, practically focused, based both on Scripture and experience, and demonstrates the love of Christ. No witness to Muslims can be very effective without dealing with this important area.

Rick Love's book has come right out of the trenches of frontline evangelism among Muslims. A "must-read" for all of those going to the Muslim world.
