Review
"Kuhn incarnated his life and witness in the Middle East for many years. Kuhn’s love for Muslims shines throughout this volume. His assessment of the current "clash of civilizations" is one of the best I have read." — PHIL PARSHALL Author, The Cross and the Crescent and Bridges to Islam; SIM missionary at large "This book is definitely a "need to read"! " — MAZHAR MALLOUHI Author, A Sufi Reading of the Gospel of John and numerous Arabic books and articles
Product Description
After living for more than two decades in the Middle East, pastor, author and college Arabic instructor Mike Kuhn wonders if there can be a fresh vision for the Muslim world—one not rooted in media lies or personal fears but in the values of Christ’s kingdom. Is the only option to fight, to eradicate, to judge? Or can the mindset of confrontation give way to one of incarnation? In Fresh Vision for the Muslim World, Kuhn challenges readers to love the Muslims down the street and across the world with the love of Christ. Kuhn’s vast experience and research show readers that Muslims today have the same hopes and spiritual needs as any of us. With practical suggestions, Kuhn helps readers leave the path of isolation, fear and self-preservation and choose a less-traveled road: a path of self-awareness, empathy, and deep listening. Choosing the latter path is radical. It is difficult. And it is a step toward seeing Jesus Christ receive his rightful place of honor among a people longing to know him.

A Book We've Been Needing to Read, Nov 10 2009
By S. Isaac - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fresh Vision for the Muslim World (Paperback)
The title fits this book. The easy flow of the writing and wealth of information leaves one feeling more ready and prepared for ministry to Muslims - not weighted down. One chapter's worth packs enough information to be a book in itself, yet the information is not overwhelming. Well written, the sentences and paragraphs flow into each other, which helped me focus on the material - and not get distracted by the writing itself. The author's experience, study and personal compassion for this people group make his a voice to be heard as we seek to engage Muslims for the Kingdom. Educational and motivating, the book is at the same time an encouragement.

An Excellent Resource, Nov 24 2009

This review is from: Fresh Vision for the Muslim World (Paperback)
Mike Kuhn has done an excellent job of sharing perspective. He seeks to share perspective from both a Western point of view and a Muslim point of view. His writing is easily understood and comes across as written with great humility and a good deal of passion.By going back and giving a good historical overview of Islam, the book helps the reader see the foundation for the current realities we see in our world today. The reading then delves into some of the Christian patterns of thinking that today may help fuel the current attitude Christians in the West often take towards Islam.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to better understand Islam and the cultural influences that have huge effect on our attitudes and interpretations of current events. It is a must read as our world becomes a global village and we struggle to live in the melting pot of the diversity we encounter in this new world.

Clarity and Charity, April 26 2010

This review is from: Fresh Vision for the Muslim World (Paperback)
Here is well chosen, basic information and much needed perspective for American Christians who care about Muslims. Kuhn helps us see how things look from their side of the fence, and what it takes to help them meet and follow Jesus. He provides vital background briefly and clearly. He doesn't avoid hard questions. He deals charitably with various points of view. He sets the pace and helps us on the path of incarnational life and ministry."Fresh Vision" is excellent first reading for people who share in the work of Christ overseas or around the corner. Kuhn concentrates on standard, core Islam, so you may want to supplement this. But I would say, read Kuhn first.
