Christian. Muslim. Friend.: Twelve Paths to Real Relationship

Winner 2016 "Christianity Today Book Award" for Mission/Global Church catelogry.

Can Christians and Muslims be friends? Real friends? Even in an era of intense religious conflict, David Shenk says yes. In Christian. Muslim. Friend., Shenk lays out twelve ways that Christians can form authentic relationships with Muslims--characterized by respect, hospitality, and candid dialogue--while still bearing witness to the Christ-centered commitments of their faith.

Rooted in fifty years of friendship with Muslims in Somalia, Kenya, and the United States, this book will inspire readers with astounding stories of the author's animated conversations with Muslim clerics, visits to countless mosques around the globe, and the pastors and imams who are working for peace.

These tried and true paths offer a compelling resource with practical application for mission personnel, Sunday school classes, and Christians who meet people of Islamic faith in their communities.
