My Thoughts On the Book
I find this book to be extremely informative and very compelling to want to know more. I have grown sooooo much in my knowledge about the Koran and what Muslims believe b/c of this book. I highly reconment this book to everyone i know, even to the Muslims i know. This book put to rest some of the rumors church and folks have pasted along b/c of their lack of knowledge and then it tells you things u never knew that was in the Koran.
With the questions and review part in the end of the book, it not only is good for group studies at the home or in a church setting, however, it is also good in training yourself on how to discuss the Bible and Jesus to Muslims. Muslims are required to read both the Bible and the Koran, so a man or woman with little to no knowledge about the Koran will get no where with witnessing to Muslims, but with this book, you should be able to hold a good conversation without making yourself or Christianity look foolish.
I learned about talking ants { yes, i said talking ants }and about a flying man who could talk to birds among many others. This book gets my highest ranking possible in a book report review! ( A +++ ) I suggest all christians to get this book and learn whats in its pages and then listen to John Hagee about what Muslims are doin in the world today!
Book Review Grade : A +++
