SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Islam is on the rise all over the West, including America, and the spread of Islam is rapidly altering the way we live. These changes are cause for alarm, for they endanger our freedoms of speech and religion-- but this in turn opens an incredible door of ministry for Christians, for Muslims normally do not have access to the gospel in their own lands. Lutzer urges Christians to see this as both an opportunity to share the gospel and a reason for concern.
