Understand My Muslim People by Abraham Sarker. Paperback, 281 pages. ISBN: 1-59498-002-0. Price: $ 18.00 $ 14.40 Barclay Press.

The world's fastest growing religion is not very well understood by most Christians. Abraham Sarker understands Muslim people because he was born and raised a devout Muslim. It was while being trained as an Islamic leader that God miraculously opened his eyes and touched his heart with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Abraham first shares his story and then provides a clear and understandable description of the history, beliefs, and practices of Islam. In the concluding section of the book, Abraham gives Christians a helping hand to know how to effectively share their faith with a Muslim.

I was born into a devout Muslim home in Bangladesh, the third largest Islamic nation in the world. Son of a prominent Islamic leader and an Islamic schoolteacher, as a young Muslim boy I was instilled with a great devotion to Allah and a love for the beauty and poetic grace of my culture.

However, a sudden astounding, uncanny dream from God commenced my journey toward Christianity. A few years later I left my home country and came to the United States to share my Islamic faith with American people. Here I found the answer to my fears and insecurities, and the assurance of my salvation�through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

In my recent book, Understand My Muslim People, I share my complete conversion experience�a �Story of a Miracle��and a well-researched, pragmatic, helpful guide for Christians to understand Islam and to engage in effective dialogue with Muslims.

After becoming a Christian I completed a Bible degree from Christ for the Nations Institute, bachelor�s and MBA degrees from Dallas Baptist University where I currently serve as an adjunct professor, and a doctorate in strategic leadership from Regent University. My wife and I founded Gospel for Muslims, Inc., a ministry dedicated to bringing hope to 1.2 billion Muslims around the world.

I�m grateful to God for the opportunities I have to share my faith with Muslims and to equip Christians for effective dialogue with Muslim people.
