Book Description
Can I be half Muslim and half Christian? Is the Bible like the Qur'an? Do Muslims believe in Jesus? Have you ever tried to explain religion to a child? What if that child had parents of different religions? Author Christine Chapman found herself in this position in discussions with her young grandchildren. Many texts explain religions as separate to each other but children these days have to try to make sense of religion in the context of multi-faith parentage or community. How do they distinguish between theology and culture, fact from family emotions? She set about researching and writing just such a text, adding illustrations on every page. She explores views on family life and marriage, dress and diet, prayer and festivals while explaining the beliefs of Muslims and Christians to children in a non-partisan, fact-based way. Her focus is on the need for understanding and friendship between members of both religions. Armed with this kind of understanding and knowledge she hopes and prays that the next generation may grow up to more peaceful times than ours.

Book Description
In the summer of 1996, Yusha Evans went on a passage through the Bible and its four Gospel. He scrutinized more than five different religions in search of God and His message. In 1998, he reverted to Islam. He yearned for the truth in life which is to “Worship God alone as one, obey Him and His Messenger to go to Heaven,” of which he found through Islam.

Book Description
F.E. Peters, a scholar without peer in the comparative study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, revisits his pioneering work. Peters has rethought and thoroughly rewritten his classic The Children of Abraham for a new generation of readers-at a time when the understanding of these three religious traditions has taken on a new and critical urgency. He began writing about all three faiths in the 1970s, long before it was fashionable to treat Islam in the context of Judaism and Christianity, or to align all three for a family portrait. In this updated edition, he lays out the similarities and differences of the three religious siblings with great clarity and succinctness and with that same remarkable objectivity that is the hallmark of all the author's work. Peters traces the three faiths from the sixth century B.C., when the Jews returned to Palestine from exile in Babylonia, to the time in the Middle Ages when they approached their present form. He points out that all three faith groups, whom the Muslims themselves refer to as "People of the Book," share much common ground. Most notably, each embraces the practice of worshipping a God who intervenes in history on behalf of His people. The book's text is direct and accessible with thorough and nuanced discussions of each of the three religions. Footnotes provide the reader with expert guidance into the highly complex issues that lie between every line of this stunning edition of The Children of Abraham. Complete with a new preface by the author, this Princeton Classics edition presents this landmark study to a new generation of readers.

Book Description
A young female client presents with anorexia nervosa and believes that her problem has its roots in magic; parents are helpless in the face of their son's substance abuse issues; an interracial couple cannot agree on how to discipline their children. How would you effectively help these clients while balancing appropriate interventions that are sensitive to religious, cultural, social, and gender differences? This handbook answers these difficult questions and helps behavioral health practitioners provide religio-culturally-competent care to Muslim clients living in territories such as North America, Australia, and Europe. The issues and interventions discussed in this book, by authoritative contributors, are diverse and multifaceted. Topics that have been ignored in previous literature are introduced, such as sex therapy, substance abuse counseling, university counseling, and community-based prevention. Chapters integrate tables, lists, and suggested phrasing for practitioners, along with case studies that are used by the authors to help illustrate concepts and potential interventions. Counseling Muslims is also unique in its broad scope, which reflects interventions ranging from the individual to community levels, and includes chapters that discuss persons born in the West, converts to Islam, and those from smaller ethnic minorities. It is the only guide practitioners need for information on effective service delivery for Muslims, who already bypass significant cultural stigma and shame to access mental health services.

Book Description
In light of the widespread public perception of incompatibility between Islam and Christianity, this book provides a much-needed straightforward comparison of these two great faith traditions from a broad theological perspective. Award-winning scholar John Renard illuminates the similarities as well as the differences between Islam and Christianity through a clear exploration of four major dimensions—historical, creedal, institutional, and ethical and spiritual. Throughout, the book features comparisons between concrete elements such as creedal statements, prayer texts, and writings from major theologians and mystics. It also includes a glossary of technical theological terms. For western readers in particular, this balanced, authoritative work overturns some common stereotypes about Islam, especially those that have emerged in the decade since September 11, 2001.

Book Description
Childhood Education in Islam and Christianity discusses issues of religious education that the two world religions Christianity and Islam offer to their respective young children as religion or faith that lead beliefs, virtues and lifestyle for the faithful beginning in the child's tender age. The book is written with awareness that for many observers of religion, the landscape of Christianity and Islam is filled with suspicion, hatred, violent armed confrontations that characterize encounters between Islam and Christianity in Africa, North America, Europe, Middle East, Central and East Asia. Terrorism, intelligence and counter-intelligence accompanied by bombing and destruction have become the order of the from history and media perspective. It is impossible to identify the difference between religion and politics, economics, government, and militarism. It is impossible to find an area in the field of human existence that is not affected by religious interests of these two religions. This book examines praxis aspects of the religion that Islam and Christianity teach and practice, in the madrassahs and Sunday schools, of the mosque and the church, based in Nairobi city as a creative frontier Christian-Muslim encounter seen from the eyes and heard from voices of young children, their teachers and religious programme directors for and on behalf of Muslim and Christian children. The book seeks to answer the questions "What do Christians and Muslims teach as religious faith? How do they teach it? How are the faith lessons perceived by the learner? What issues concerning religion would members of one religious group like clarification about the other?" The aim of the book is to get to the core of children's religious education for Islam and Christian beyond the rambling of the media creation of wars between Christianity and Islam, the Church and the Mosque, who could be innocent neighbours in one way or another. Knowing facts is a must for the reader of this book.
