Unseen Face of Islam, The : Sharing the Gospel with Ordinary Muslims
Outline: Beneath the terms of official Islam lies a whole pattern of related yet different beliefs. The mysterious, colourful world of jinn and the evil eye, saints and festivals, is unfamiliar to more Westerners: a universe of flux, full of 'beings' and 'powers'. This book is about weary and burdened human beings, writes Dr Musk. 'The masses of Muslims live today at two levels. Beneath a veneer of conformity to a major world faith, ordinary Muslims express deep needs in their daily living. In Part I ten major themes are introduced by a series of short stories, based on actual experience. In Part II Dr Musk investigates popular Islam in greater depth, showing how Christians can share their faith more fruitfully and pray with understanding. Only a power encounter with the risen Christ will meet the real needs of Muslims today.
