Book Description

February 1, 2010

World events won't let North Americans ignore Muslims anymore. Whether those Muslims are villagers in Iraq or neighbors down the street, Breaking the Islam Code offers everyday Christians profound insight into the way Muslims think and feel.

J.D. Greear's ability to communicate challenging heart truth, plus his expertise in Christian and Islamic theology and two years' experience in a Muslim-dominated area, make him the perfect author for this empowering, insightful, reader-friendly book. It transcends traditional apologetics, focusing on helping Christians

*understand what is deep in Muslims' hearts, behind their theology--which will lead to friendship and effective communication of the gospel
*respectfully turn many of the primary objections into opportunities to share the faith
*avoid unnecessarily offending Muslims they're interacting with

Readers will be excited that sharing Christ with Muslims is something they can do--as everyday Christians in their own cities, campuses, and workplaces.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read May 22, 2010
Format:Paperback
Dr. Greear does a magnificent job of intertwining his academic study of church fathers, Christian theology, and Islamic theology, as well as his personal experiences living in a Muslim community in "Breaking the Islamic Code". The book is incredibly readable as JD uses common vernacular to explain deep and complex issues relating to what Muslims believe and how they can engage with the historical Jesus. Greear's stories and practical analogies help convey the similarities and differences in the two major monotheistic religions (Christianity and Islam) beyond the intellect. He shares key insights Christians should know as they engage with Muslims in topics such as Muslim felt needs, how the gospel can fulfill those needs and common misconceptions. Some highlights of the book I especially appreciated were the emphases of the bible and holy spirit in bringing people into his kingdom his approach of seeking transformation and renewal instead of "conversion". A novice or expert will find this book knowledgeable, enjoyable as well as challenging. A great read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, practical advice for sharing the gospel. December 14, 2010
By Ian
Format:Paperback
This is one of the best resources I have come across for learning how to share the gospel with our Muslim friends.

One problem I have found with similar books on Christianity and Islam is that they are far too academic in their approach, pointing out the logical fallacies of Islam. While this information can be useful sometimes, Greear reminds us in this book that "we are not trying to win arguments, but we are trying to win the person".

'Breaking the Islam Code' is easy to read and offers highly practical advice for having conversations with Muslims. It explains how to present the gospel of Jesus in terms that Muslims are more likely to comprehend. Ultimately it is not our own words or persuasive arguments, but the power of the gospel and the word of God that will transform the lives of our Muslim friends.

The author has a deep understanding of how Muslims think and the reasons why they object to the claims of Jesus. Greear offers great tips on how to get them reading the Bible with you and how to tackle issues such as the Trinity, the "blasphemy" of the cross and the deity of Jesus.

'Breaking the Islam Code' is an excellent resource, and encourages us to be like Paul, who was "not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16).

5.0 out of 5 stars Foundational March 19, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
JD's book is very easy to read and understand but it is very deep and informative. If you have any desire to understand the Islamic faith or minister to Muslims this is a book you need to read. I underlined something on virtually every page. It is both informative and inspirational. I am praying that I will be able to apply the truths very, very soon. I loved Timothy George's "Is the Father of Jesus the God of Mohammed" and I rate this book as highly. I am already looking forward to JD's next book.
