Product Description:
On September 11, the Muslim community was given a frightening new face. Now, in a long and uncertain war, the battle lines are drawn. The fight is between countries, but also between Christians and Muslims. But does this extreme behavior reflect the Muslims' worldview?
The Cresent Through the Eyes of the Cross examines one of the most explosive, and divisive, issues of our time. Dr. Jabbour, an Arab Christian fluent in the traditions of Islam, seeks to move believers beyond tolerance into compassion. This powerful release will enlighten minds and reaffirm Christ's commission to share the gospel with everyone, including the Muslims.

A Christian man from a Christian home who grew up in a Muslim world, a Christian missionary from a conservative Christian ministry; these two qualities alone should invite you to listen carefully to what Dr. Jabbour has to say about Muslims.

Good book. It does a great job on going by "Insights from an Arab Christian." I decided to give this book a five star rating because it has given me a better understanding of an Arab world.
Although I must disagree with some of the theological undertones, it is was a very valuable learning experience.

Dr. Jabbbour's book is quite characteristic of his other works, including "Unshackled and Growing". That characteristic is an ability to explain deep and complicated concepts in simple, but clever ways, without watering down the issues. In The Crescent Through the Eyes of the Cross, Dr. Jabbour employs a clever yet sincere literary method to get his points about the ways in which Muslims see Christians and Christian efforts at evangelism. He creates the characters of "Ahmad" and his family members. Though he creates ... Read More

One version of a famous proverb goes like this: "It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness---but it feels better to curse the darkness." Many polemical books have been written, especially since 9/11, that curse the darkness. By giving distorted portrayals of everyday Muslims and their pious culture, they actually add to the darkness. The result is that Christians who read these books are unable to converse with Muslims without displaying their fear, disdain, and ignorance. This destroys their credibility ... Read More
