Review
Having been to the Middle East many times, I have a deep love for these people who are so in need of Jesus. Baghdad Believer provides an incredible opportunity for the reader to go inside the heart and mind of a Muslim seeker who becomes a follower of Christ. This book hits right at the heart of the most important spiritual, political, and cultural issues of our day. We no longer have the luxury of ignoring the spiritual battle that exists today between two very different ways of viewing God and life. This book will not only help you to understand these issues but also will give you a love for Muslims for whom Jesus died.

In the context of global evangelization, the Muslim world continues to be a formidable barrier. That does not reflect a deficiency in the gospel but in those who share the gospel lacking a sensitivity and insight into how the good news of God s love through Jesus Christ is filtered through the Muslim worldview. Outsiders seldom comprehend the complexity of family, community, politics and traditional values that inhibit a truth-seeking Muslim from understanding and receiving the gospel. This personal pilgrimage, as graphically communicated by J. Nealson in Baghdad Believer, comes out of extensive experience and relationships in the Muslim world and will equip others to be more effectives witnesses and disciplers in that context. Jerry Rankin, President International Mission Board, SBC --Jerry Rankin
This book is informative, interesting, and easy to read. It includes a clear process by which a Muslin believer can evangelize and disciple a Muslim friend or family member. It gives a good inside look at the interrelationships of a Muslim family and the role each member is expected to play. There is a great need for this book to be translated into other languages to be used as a model for training nationals to evangelize their Muslim friends. Delaney F.
