Good morning friends,
I would like to recommend to you all the book I’m currently reading – “Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity” by Nabeel Qureshi. I’m actually not reading it, but listening to it on an “audible.com” book, where Nabeel himself is reading. You’ll learn a lot about Islam because he describes his young life as a devout Muslim – and you’ll hear the correct pronouncement of all these Arabic words. You’ll also learn how you can minister and witness to Muslims by the example of David Wood, who witnessed to Nabeel…

Additionally, there are 2 movies now playing at the cheap theater now in Tempe (for $3.00), which I think are worth seeing:
- God’s Not Dead 2 – this actually features appearances from the following Christian apologists, who are shown defending the faith either on the witness stand or being interviewed: J. Warner Wallace, Lee Strobel, Gary Habermas. I believe that this movie was better than the first one.
- Miracles From Heaven – this portrays the struggle of a woman contemplating the problem of evil as her daughter falls ill. It was better than I thought it would be.
