Whose Promised Land
$19.95Add to cartThe conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has profoundly affected the Middle East for almost seventy years, and shows no sign of ending. It remains a huge political and humanitarian problem. Writing from the perspective of someone who has lived and worked in the Middle East at various times since 1968, the author explains the roots of the problem and outlines the arguments or the main parties involved. He also explores legitimate and illegitimate ways of using the Bible in relation to the conflict. This new and fully updated fifth edition includes the history of the area since 9/11, the impact of the Gulf wars, the building of the security wall, and the increased importance of Hamas.

Cross And Crescent
$25.99Add to cartIs the Muslim my neighbor?
For increasing numbers of Christians, the answer to that question is yes. The crescent, emblem of the Islamic faith recognized throughout the world, is gaining prominence in the West, bringing with it the collision of worldviews.
When the cross meets the crescent, what ought to happen? In the newly revised classic Cross and Crescent, Colin Chapman brings remarkable sensitivity and humanity to a question that too often incites hostility and suspicion. He introduces Islam in its historical context, its theological assumptions and, most important, its common practice in the West. In this comprehensive, gracious introduction to Islam, you will meet the Muslims in your community and learn how to love these neighbors as yourself.
