Insightful,

This review is from: Miniskirts, Mothers and Muslims: A Christian Woman in a Muslim Land (Paperback)
I found this book to be very insightful. It helped me to better understand the eastern mindset and to recognize there are significant differences between that and the western mindset. It is a helpful tool for Christian people wishing to interact with Muslim people. I wish I had read it sooner as it is all too easy to make relational errors due to a misunderstanding between mindsets of east and west.

Amazing look at being a Christian in a Muslim world!,
By Jill "A Christian Missionary" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Miniskirts, Mothers, and Muslims: A Christian Woman in a Muslim Land (Paperback)
I HIGHLY recommend this book for any woman working or wanting to work in an Middle East/Arab world. It even has implications for countries where Islam is more of a cultural thing than it is a strict religious attachment. Mallouhi has great perspective and will definitely open your eyes to the ways and thinkings of many Muslim cultures. While specifics will differ from Muslim country to Muslim country, the principles are the same. In order to be effective ministers, we need to understand those principles! You must read this book before starting a ministry overseas!

Thought Provoking, Title Misleading,
By R. Letarte - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Miniskirts, Mothers, and Muslims: A Christian Woman in a Muslim Land (Paperback)
This book is meant to improve one's effectiveness at Christian ministry in Arab countries by teaching the principle that if you do not respect culturally established norms, you and your religion will not be seen with respect. If you're a non-Muslim who likes to (or wants to) see things from different perspectives, a careful reading of this book may give you some new material to wrap your open mind around. But it's important to note that Muslim is not synonomous with Arab, and this book almost exclusively concerns Arab countries.

good book for missionaries,
By Jennifer Norman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Miniskirts, Mothers, and Muslims: A Christian Woman in a Muslim Land (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book and appreciated hearing about this author's particular experiences in various Arab countries, however, it is definitely a book for missionaries. It seems like she is advocating respect for Muslims, but mainly in order to open the door for them to be lead to Christianity. All in all I did enjoy the author's stories, and it was thought-provoking.
