“The Gospel for Muslims: An Encouragement to Share Christ with Confidence”
By Thabiti Anyabwile
This book is not a detailed comparison between religious or a major apologetic work — its aim is to equip the reader with the basics and help them with clear and bold communication. Written by a former Muslim, the book encourages Christ followers to share Jesus with their Muslim neighbors by focusing on the people themselves rather than their religious system.
