About this title

About the Author:

Christine A. Mallouhi, an Australian, is married to an Arab Christian. She and her husband have lived in many different Muslim cultures. She is also the author of Waging Peace on Islam.

Review:

"Readers will find Mallouhi's insights, warm tone, and fascinating anecdotes hard to put down. This is one of the most absorbing and readable books on Islam that I have found. It should be required reading for anyone doing mission work among Muslims, but it would also be helpful in other honor based societies, such as Hindu cultures." (Debbie W. Wilson Christian Book Previews 2005-05-01)

This book is so packed with details I couldn't even begin to cover part of the situations, but anyone interested in the Arab culture will gain great insight. In the Arab world there is no individual, there is only community. I think every church library should have a copy of this book. It raises so many questions about how we as a group, missionaries or tourists, can give Christians and Americans a bad name and how we can be more sensitive to other cultures.

"For Christians who work with, live with, or minister to Muslims, this book helps explain the whats and whys of the world of Muslim women. Also dealt with are topics such as role models, segregation, restrictions, opportunities, family life, and unwritten rules." (The Christian Herald 2006-03-01)
