Reform, by definition, is not a complete break with tradition, but a determination by scholars, activists, politicians and critical thinkers to re-claim the tenets of their faith. Muslim communities have historically displayed a tendency to preserve the status quo. By contrast, the individuals and movements in Islam and the Question of Reform are determined-often at great personal risk-to push aside existing political and social elites and the historically accepted interpretations of Islam and its place in society. The perspectives examined in this volume avoid superficial or apologetic examinations of Islam's political and social role. Instead, they meticulously scrutinise the religion's public role, often questioning the validity of dogmas that have acted as tools of empowerment for existing elites for centuries.

Ronwyn realized the faith that came naturally to her was often a struggle for many, especially new believers. The GrowingwithGod by Ronwyn blog site was launched in November 2010 and through these blogs Ronwyn communicated the simplicity of her faith by linking events from everyday life to her knowledge of scripture. This devotional is based on those blogs. A word from the Editor - This book is written in a way that will be interesting to both Christians and Non-Christians, with the thread of salvation, walking with God and the Holy Spirit carried throughout through focusing on issues and events that are relevant to everyday life. I have gained much from this book and pray that it will become a light to many others June Louw
