Muslims, Christians and Jesus

Muslims, Christians and Jesus (DVD-based study)
By Carl Medearis (Zondervan)
A 2012 Outreach Resource of the Year

“A DVD-driven study featuring Carl Medearis, an international expert in the field of Arab-American and Muslim-Christian relations, this is one of the most engaging studies I’ve come across in the last year—on any topic. If you’re looking for studies that will open your members’ eyes to other world religions and worldviews, Muslims, Christians, and Jesus is an excellent resource, and I highly recommend it. They’ll come away with a much better understanding, some very practical next steps, and best of all, eyes to see and ears to hear as they get to know their Muslim neighbors.” —Mark Howell, from the March/April 2012 issue of Outreach magazine

When Familiar Becomes Careless

God wants to be in a relationship with his people that’s not marked by fear but love. Not apprehension, but an appreciation of his great grace and compassion.
