| Available October, 2008 The terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, the Afghan conflict, waves of migration and the presence of twelve million Muslims in the European Union: these are just a few of the things that have helped contribute to a growing interest in Islam, its culture, and its followers. They awaken old and new questions about a religious, cultural, and political reality that 1,200,000,000 people consider themselves a part of. 'This book is the result of a series of extended interviews between an internationally acclaim expert on Islam and two journalists who have dedicated themselves for many years to studying key themes of Islam and analyzing the coexistence between people of different faiths and cultures. 'How was Islam born? What does the Koran represent for Muslims? What relationship has developed between Islam and violence, between Islamic culture and the West? How can a real integration of Islam take place in European societies? What are the conditions for a constructive encounter between Christians and Muslims? 'Samir Khalil Samir"one of the world's leading experts on Islam"responds to these questions in an in-depth interview that can help one learn and judge for oneself, without prejudice or naivete. This is a contribution in the spirit of the realism needed in order to build adequate ways of living with those who have become our new neighbors.' |

Success, according to the Bible, is about who you are rather than what you attain. Tommy Nelson will show you the areas in life where you must be successful. Mastering life is about finding God's hand upon you. You can be successful and be an utter failure if you are successful in the wrong things.
