Breaking the Islam Code

Understanding the Soul Questions of Every Muslim

“The place I believe we can expect God to work most in the future is the Muslim community across the world. Islam is the one great civilization that has never experienced a breakthrough of the Gospel. I hope this book contributes toward that movement.
 
“Whether you live in a Muslim nation or simply next door to one, I think this book will help you present the Gospel in a way that engages their heart and mind. In this book I hope to help you take a very old Gospel and express it in new ways that make sense to Muslims. Just as Peter was given a ‘Gospel for the Jews,’ and Paul a ‘Gospel for the Gentiles,’ I hope this book helps you fashion to a ‘Gospel for the Muslims.’”
—J.D. Greear, author of Breaking the Islam Code

“J.D. Greear is a faithful pastor with a bold vision of reaching all persons—and specifically Muslims—with the gospel of Jesus Christ. His analysis of this challenge is insightful and the clarity of his gospel witness shines through.”
—Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr., President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and author of numerous books

“Breaking the Islam Code stands out as a refreshing new approach anchored solidly in biblical truth, free from the excesses and inadequately contemplated claims of a good many contemporary approaches…Both theologically and evangelistically encouraging.”
—Paige Patterson, President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Dr. Greear was successful in his ministry to Muslims in Indonesia, and this book is a distillation of what he learned…There is no book that exceeds this one in terms of theological depth wedded to practical savvy.”
—Dr. Bruce Ashford, Director of the Center for Great Commission Studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Your book…has helped me communicate much more effectively with Muslims who are seeking the Truth. Now, rather than arguing with my Muslim friends, I end up sharing with them at deeper levels with words and ideas that they can understand and that are found in Scripture from Genesis to Revelation…This book has completely revolutionized the way I share the gospel with Muslims.”
—Patrick F., missionary to Afghanistan

“The hard work of engaging Muslims, gaining insight into their mind-set and heartfelt spiritual quest, then applying…Scripture to their needs is evident throughout this book…Valuable reading for those engaging Muslims in a variety of settings.”
—Keith Eitel, Director of Missions at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Practical advice for engaging the Islamic culture in conversations of the cross. My time studying Islam…would have had minuscule effect with my Muslim friends had it not been for the guidance…in this book. Thank you for this wonderful tool!”
—Lance Michels, seminary student and missionary to Southeast Asia

“If you love Jesus and Muslims you will love this book.”
—Mark Driscoll, pastor of Mars Hill Church, president of the Acts 29 Church Planting Network and president of The Resurgence

“Rarely have I been so moved by the clarity, freshness, and effectiveness of any contribution…to reaching our world in our time…the way Breaking the Islamic Code moved me. This...approach trumps any I have seen on the bottom line, which is actually reaching Muslims with the gospel.
—Alvin Reid, Bailey Smith Chair of Evangelism, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and author of Inside the Mind of the Radically Unchurched

“An outstanding book. It's very readable and practical…a good introduction to reaching Muslims, and at the same so full of gems that many experienced field missionaries will profit from reading the approaches and ideas presented.”
—Dave C., regional leader for Pioneers mission agency in Southeast Asia

“A tremendous book…It uses very plain language and examples with which students could educate themselves in order to make a difference in their relationships with Islamic students. I would highly recommend this to my students.”
—Miles O’Neill, Director of Campus Crusade for Christ, UNC Chapel Hill

“Incorporates both a thorough understanding of the Muslim worldview and practical approaches that explain the Bible in a way that does not clash with that worldview…An approach that is theologically accurate…practical, and culturally appropriate…I endorse this work.”
—Guy Armstrong, Southeast Regional Director, Campus Crusade for Christ 

“This book has profound and captivating insights into Islam that will catapult readers into deeper understanding and better relations with Muslims.”
—Dr. Bruce Sidebotham, Reserve Army Chaplain and Director of Operation Reveille

“Breaking the Islam Code is a wonderfully helpful book for anyone who wants to understand their Muslim neighbors and to communicate the gospel to them in a winsome and accurate manner. Dr. Greear uses his personal experience with Muslims to provide the reader keen insight into Islamic theology, as well as the common misunderstandings and objections that many Muslims have with the Christian message. His book is a needed addition to the ongoing conversation about the relationship between Islam and Christianity because it helps the reader to view Muslims as people for whom Jesus died, and for whom the Gospel is indeed the ‘pearl of great price.’”
—D. Scott Hildreth, Director, Lewis A. Drummond Center for Great Commission Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
