It just came out. The author is an old acquaintance of mine. He's super-cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddington Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The promo is below. (There is also a Facebook group/fan page or whatever it is called.) I am a former Kenyan Sunni Muslim who was educated in madrassa (Islamic religious school) during my formative years. Upon graduation from madrassa, I became a madrassa teaching assistant and a muadhin (a person who calls Muslims to pray) in my native hometown. In Cracks in the Crescent, I discuss some esoteric aspects of Islam by conspicuously illustrating them throughout my upbringing as a Muslim, my conversion to Christianity and the ensuing persecution. I utilize Allah’s word, the Qur’an, and Prophet Muhammad’s sayings, the aHadith, to make my case. Portions of my 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. I have shared my story with churches, schools, colleges, and individual Christian groups in Kenya and the United States. Cracks in the Crescent is the panacea to all misconceptions about Islam. Reading it would help one to understand Islam as unraveled through my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty good book. More about solutions for peace than scholarly criticism. Another guy I have recently discovered is Emmanuel Jal... he's Sudanese and was a child soldier..now he's a well known reggae/rap artist.. From what I've seen he's pretty clean too.
