AMMAN, Jordan (FBW)—A few decades ago it was
not that unusual to talk about establishing
Baptist schools and other ministries throughout

those regions-and the encroaching fundamentalism
of many of those countries has created almost
impenetrable barrier

DALLAS, Texas (FBW)–Christians in the West
can no longer pretend that Muslims live on the
other side of the world or that what they believe
doesn’t affect them, states June Hunt,
nationally-syndicated radio host of Hope for the
Heart, in the foreword to Voices Behind the
Veil, a new release from Kregel Publications.
Since most Christians feel ill—equipped to
witness to followers of Islam, she argues for
learning more about the Muslim mindset in order
to speak to their minds and their hearts.
