“Back home, I was curious about Jesus, but didn’t have the chance to learn. Now that I’m here, I can! Can we get coffee and talk?” - A newly arrived international student

REVIEW
"A Muslim scholar and friend, having just come back from a Muslim-Christian interfaith conference, once asked me: ‘Why are Christians so shy with their testimony about Jesus? As Muslim participants at the conference we were very clear about our testimony to Prophet Muhammad’s greatness. But Christians were so shy to tell us what they really believed about Jesus that I had to stand up and affirm my faith in Jesus and declare how great He was. Us Muslims believe in Jesus, it seems, more convincingly than Christians!’ Indeed, as Christian scholars and leaders, we have sometimes become so ‘politically correct’ that we have forgotten that our witness to Christ is the heart of our discipleship. This handbook for Christian ministry rectifies this misbehavior in the best possible way. It is comprehensive, accurate, sensitive, respectful, gracious, and faithful to Christ’s calling on the lives of those who would claim to be his followers. Well done, InterVarsity team! This handbook is a great service rendered to Christ’s Church throughout the world!"
