This book presents some touching stories of Muslims who came to Jesus through a variety of means. It also tells of the persecution they suffer for their faith, as family and society turn against them. The book also offers a discussion of the stories and a guide to fruitful practices of evangelistic teams and local believers.
The missionaries and their disciples as portrayed in these stories use a contextualised approach to present the gospel to Muslims in culturally acceptable ways. It seems to be effective, as Muslims accept Jesus as Saviour and as most manage to remain within their Muslim environment.
