Unshackled and Growing by Dr. Nabeel T. Jabbour

I recently found this book buried among all the other books which make their home by my bed.  I realized that NavPress sent me this book to review several months ago and it somehow got lost among our hoards of books...I hope NavPress will continue to let me review for them after this muck up...

I originally requested to review Unshackled and Growing by Dr. Nabeel T. Jabbour because I'm very interested in North Africa, and I also work with several Muslims.  I thought this book might be interesting to read since it's geared toward Muslims who are seeking to learn more about Jesus and not necessarily towards Christians who want to share their faith with Muslims.

Since I've never been a Muslim, I can't speak to how this book can speak to those of the Islamic faith, but I can say that I learned a great deal from this book.  Jabbour lays out basic biblical knowledge, explaining historical information and how events in the Bible relate to events in Islam.  He uses Arabic words to help convey the meanings of several important concepts.  And he pleads with the reader to believe in Jesus as the Saviour.  I would recommend this book to others- especially if you think you may work with Muslims in the future.  It will definitely give you an insight into what they may be thinking when you approach them with Christianity.
