Cracks in the Crescent
Outline: Countless book have been written on the subject of Islam, making it a daunting task for the reader to select a good one. The lack of consensus among Islamic scholars also makes Islam a very complex topic. These scholars, who supposedly have the task of clearing the confusion in Islam, tend to prevaricate when questions that could help to decipher Islam are asked. As a result, ordinary Muslims and non-Muslims are generally victims of misinformation and are left rummaging through this morass trying to grasp Islamic teachings. Therefore, it is imperative for one to read a book with a clear, concise, and coherent message in order to gain a proper understanding of Islam. Cracks in the Crescent unravels some esoteric aspects of Islam by conspicuously illustrating them throughout Hussein's upbringing as a Muslim, his conversion to Christianity and the ensuing persecution. It is an objective appraisal of Islam, which utilizes Allah's word, the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad's sayings, the aHadith, to make its case. Portions of Hussein's conversion story and the subsequent persecution have been featured in a 1998 book, The Call of Africa; the Grand Rapids Press in October 1996; a nationwide radio broadcast through Radio Bible Class (RBC) Ministries' weekend program Words to Live By in the United States and in some select countries in October 2003; and a Reformed semi-monthly magazine the Standard Bearer in September 2006. Hussein has shared his story with churches, schools, colleges, and individual Christian groups in Kenya and the United States.
