Middle East Muslim World Update
When some Christians hear the word "Muslim," their knee-jerk response is concern…fear…maybe even resentment. But when the Bible says, “God so loved the world,” He includes Muslims. And God is doing fantastic—in some cases—miraculous things through the Muslim world—especially in the Middle East. This week on The Land and the Book, an update on God's work in the Muslim world. Join us!
