Cross- Cultural Perspectives in Medical Ethics, Second Edition, is an anthology of the latest and best readings on the medical ethics of as many of the major religious, philosophical, and medical traditions that are available today.

Crossover to the Cross was a labor of love as it represents a great passion of Rev. Dr. Hasbani; reaching the lost. Evangelizing to Shia Muslims in the US and the world was the topic of his Doctorate in Ministry dissertation, which involved countless hours of reading similar books, research, interviews and self-examination. Crossover to the Cross was written to help Christians recognize God’s heart for Muslims and to help overcome the personal, spiritual, political and cultural obstacles that are preventing much of the Western Church from effectively leading Muslims to the cross of Jesus, with a special emphasis on the Shia Muslims who are often feared and misunderstood, and thus, ignored. Crossover to the Cross is comprised of a collection of four smaller books, each covering unique, but related content, which together create a book for Christians to understand the history, culture, background and beliefs of Shia Muslims. Each chapter is followed by a group discussion with questions to provoke thought and action. The content can be easily modified for reaching all Muslims and for general evangelism. Crossover to the Cross is a practical tool that can be used in a small or large group setting to train and mobilize Christians to engage in missions to Muslims. And to do so boldly, in love and without fear, clarifying any misconceptions of the cross of Jesus Christ.

Christianity has over two billion adherents worldwide and Islam has over one and a half billion adherents, making them the two largest religions in the world, numbering, in total, over half of the world's population. It is generally assumed and taught, that because these two religions are both monotheistic, teaching that there is only one supreme God, that they basically are compatible, believing the same things about that one God. The purpose of this study is to compare and contrast the teachings of both Christianity and Islam, as found in their respective Scriptures, the Bible and the Quran and Sunna, to see exactly what they do teach and if, in fact, their teachings are compatible.

Phil Parshall examines Islamic beliefs on the nature of God, Scripture, worship, sin and holiness to find out what effect they have on the daily life of Muslims.

Nature and Identity in Cross-Cultural Perspective presents 20 essays which explore diverse cultural interpretations of the earth's surface. Contrasted with each other and with the potentially cosmopolitan culture of science, these detailed studies of ways in which different cultures conceptualise nature appear in the context of global environmental change. Understanding across cultural lines has never been more important. This book shows how individual cultures see their own histories as offering protection for nature, while often viewing others as lacking such ethical restraints. Through such writing a discourse of understanding and common action becomes possible. The authors come from the places they discuss, and offer passionate as well as scholarly visions of nature within their cultural homes. Audience: This volume is of interest to academics and professionals working in the fields of cultural geography, environmental history, environmental studies, history of environmental ideas, environmental education, landscape and literature, nature and culture. It can be used for courses in the above-mentioned areas and seminars in comparative literature. It can also be used as a complimentary text to provide cultural context to literary readings, and for seminars on cultural aspects of the environment.

“A riveting real-life story of God’s rescue from darkness and despair to a life of freedom and promise… You will not be able to put this book down.” --Major Everett BarrowOfficer/Pastor, Salvation Army “A beautiful narration of her journey from Muslim orthodoxy to acceptance of Jesus… fascinating reading.” --Dr. James A. BeverleyResearch Professor, Tyndale University Rose Masih grew up having no assurance of eternal life, and no hope of seeing God face to face. She thought she was cursed. She hated that she had been born a woman, especially a Muslim woman, and was lost in the endless chores and duties she had to complete to earn her place in heaven, however difficult that would be. On the outside, she was a pious, legalistic, and devout Muslim, but inside she yearned to find her place on this earth and in heaven. She didn’t know how or if she would ever be free from this curse until she met Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible. The more she learned about Him, the freer she felt. Even though her journey has been long, hard, and painful, she determined to never let go—because it is in His cross that she found freedom from her curse.

This book is the product of dialogue between a group of leading British Muslim and Christian scholars concerned about the alleged danger to the 'West' of Islamic 'fundamentalism'. It analyses the ethical and legal principles, rooted in both traditions, underlying any use of armed force in the modern world. After chapters on the history, theology and laws of war as seen from both sides, the book applies its conclusions to (a) the 1990-91 Gulf War and (b) the Bosnian Conflict. It concludes that Huntington's 'Clash of Civilisations' thesis is a dangerous myth.

Islam is on the rise all over the West, including America. In this compelling new book, bestselling author Erwin Lutzer urges Christians to see this as both an opportunity to share the gospel and a reason for concern. We have now reached a tipping point—the spread of Islam is rapidly altering the way we live. These changes are cause for alarm, for they endanger our freedoms of speech and religion. At the same time, this opens an incredible door of ministry for Christians, for Muslims normally do not have access to the gospel in their own lands. In The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent, readers will discover helpful answers to these questions and more: How does Islam’s growing influence affect me personally? In what ways are our freedoms of speech and religion in danger? How can I extend Christ’s love to Muslims around me? A sensitive, responsible, and highly informative must-read!
