In a post-9/11 world, Christian. Muslim. Friend. lays out a path
toward authentic friendship between Christians and Muslims. Most
similar books either teach Christians to evangelize Muslims or else
downplay their Christian commitments. The author, who has lived and
worked among and befriended Muslims for more than fifty years,
offers readers a third way: holding onto the Christ-centered
commitments of their faith while cultivating peaceful friendship
with Muslims.
For many of us, believing in Jesus feels like the first step on a
journey that can only get better and better with every step. Then
trials come and it can be hard to keep walking. When faced with
disappointment, disillusionment, doubt, and death, we may be
tempted to turn back. The road ahead seems too hard, too long, too
fraught with danger and difficulty. With great passion and deep
understanding of the struggles believers go through, Rashawn
Copeland encourages and inspires you to stay the course. In No
Turning Back he shares practical and productive ways you can
experience true and lasting growth based on the promises God makes
to those who follow him. He shows you how to apply the truths of
Scripture to be transformed by God's power, grow your identity in
Christ, renew your mind, free yourself from your past, and become
the person God has called you to be.
It started with a simple question: How can we help them? It became
an international movement called NEGU: Never Ever Give Up. When
Jessica Joy Rees was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at
age 11, she chose to focus not on herself but on bringing joy and
hope to other children suffering from cancer. During the ten months
she battled cancer, she and her family worked in the "Joy Factory"
(originally their garage) making JoyJars (R)-packages filled with
toys, games, and love for other kids with cancer. Jessie first
handed them out personally at the hospital where she was being
treated, but the effort blossomed quickly and there were soon
thousands of JoyJars (R) being distributed across the United States
and to over fifteen countries. Today, more than 100,000 kids have
received JoyJars (R), and they continue shipping each week to kids
in over 200 children's hospitals and 175 Ronald McDonald Houses.
Jessie lost her battle with cancer in January 2012, but her message
lives on in the Jessie Rees Foundation, which has become a beacon
of hope for families fighting pediatric cancer. Join the movement
