- A Muslim's Heart
 (23) (Saturday, 29 September 2007)Muslims are not the enemy. They are simply people. People who need Christ. But they're also people who see the world much differently than Western Christians. A Muslim's Heart provides Christians with a crash course in relating to their Muslim friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Without understanding the way a Muslim thinks and feels, and the cultural reasons for this, any attempts at evangelism will target the mind without engaging the heart. Geared for Christians who are attempting to relate to Muslims overseas or in their...View Rating and Comments

- Building Bridges: Christianity and Islam
 (10) (Saturday, 16 August 2008) Muslims and Christians have much in common. Although historically the relationship between Islam and Christianity 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... View Rating and Comments

- Cross-Cultural Conflict (40) (Monday, 17 September 2007)
Whether at home or abroad, communicating with people of other cultures is difficult. It requires new ways of thinking and interpreting the world.

With a particular focus on Asian and Hispanic cultures (at home and around the world) and on African culture, Duane Elmer walks readers through various types of conflict and shows how...View Rating and Comments

- Cross-Cultural Servanthood (44) (Monday, 10 September 2007)
Duane Elmer asked people around the world how they felt about Western missionaries. The response? "Missionaries could be more effective if they did not think they were better than us."
The last thing we want to do in cross-cultural ministry is to offend people in other cultures. Unfortunately, all too often and even though we don't mean it, our actions communicate superiority, paternalism, imperialism and arrogance. Our best intentions become unintentional insults. How can we minister in ways that are received as true Christlike service?
