Islam in our backyard
Description
In this unique book - part novel, part essay - Tony Payne explores these questions via a series of conversations with his fictional neighbour, Michael. He goes behind the media stereotypes to examine the beliefs and teachings of Islam, in their essence and in their diversity, and explains the origins of Islamic radical groups like the Taliban.
More than that, he explores the religious challenge that Islam brings to Western society - not just in relation to terrorism, but in how we are going to deal with the big questions of 'God' and 'Truth' in a multicultural society.

Customer Reviews
Informative, Well Presented
A good introduction to the beliefs of Islam, and why we can't ignore it's presence. A good argument for why religion is not something private, but instead something each individual needs to speak publicly about. The book has comparisons with Christianity which sometimes seem to be not so subtly advocating Christianity, however the author has done well to describe the beliefs of Islam from a neutral perspective. I would strongly recommend this book to Christians and non-Christians alike, whether or not you have close personal Muslim friends. ![]()
Thought provoking read
Very interesting book which demonstrated the complexities of Islam and why we need to be on our guard for the truth of Jesus.I'm so glad that the Christian gospel is "simple", attainable and available to all and for all. ![]()
