Islam, Israel and the Church

By Marcel Rebiai     ISBN 1- 85240-453-1    £7.99

As a Bible believing Christian who would like to know more about the truth of the Middle East crisis I have often wondered which voices can be trusted. I suspect that politicians and journalists are censored for fear of causing more trouble. This new book is written from the standpoint of a man who lives amongst Jews and Arabs, loving them in the name of Jesus and trying to help them.

The author has studied the subject of Islam for 15 years and I was amazed how much I still had to learn about Islamic belief systems and exactly why Jerusalem is claimed by both Arabs and Jews as their own. Marcel brings a strong challenge for the Church from the authority of God’s Word as well as for Israel and Islam. As Christians we cannot be complacent, self righteous or detached about what is going on. By our own beliefs and opinions we could be drawn into a passivity which does not resist evil and does not stand up for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Highly recommended     ***** (5 stars)
