Product Review
Accad provides much-needed insight and expertise in an area with which most Westerners are unfamiliar. (Alan Cochrum, Daily News-Record, November 22, 1997)

A "must read" for those who are concerned with Muslim evangelism. (Elizabeth A. Tebbe, Evangelical Missions, October 1997)

The information in Accad's book is enlightening to anyone who has wondered about Muslims' basic beliefs and indispensable to those reaching out to Muslims. -- Jo Upton, CBA Marketplace, April 1997

Product Description
BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM.

Muslims and Christians both worship one God. In fact, they have much in common. Although the history between Muslims and Christian has been strained at best, it doesn't have to be that way. There are many areas of common ground between the two faiths, providing ample opportunity to build relationships.

Fouad Accad grew up in Lebanon and spent most of his life there building bridges between individual followers of Christianity and followers of Islam. His passion was to bring two communities together-Muslim and Christian. What Accad built were bridges of understanding, communication, and love.

Building Bridges provides personal experiences based on a lifetime of understanding the Arab world as well as research and analysis of the texts of the Qur'an and the Bible to show the similarities between the two. This book supplies readers with the information, concrete examples, and insights necessary when dialoguing with Muslims.

If you want to reach out to Muslims around you, Building Bridges will equip you to build relationships of mutual respect and trust.

Reader Reviews
A very helpful practical easy read and not too long book.It points out the many verses in the Quran that agree with the Bible and which act as bridges to invite Muslims to consider the Bible's message..a very sensitive book that avoids saying anything negative about Islam..every Christian should get a copy.
