A Wind in the House of Islam
Dr. David Garrison's long-awaited global survey of Muslim movements to Christ reveals that we are in the midst of the greatest turning of Muslims to Christ in history. David Garrison, PhD University of Chicago, traveled a quarter-million miles throughout the Muslim world investigating movements, each one with at least a thousand baptisms that have occurred over a two-decade period, some containing tens of thousands of Muslims who are now followers of Jesus Christ. Garrison's core question: "What did God use to bring you to faith in Jesus Christ? Tell me your story." The result is the most extensive survey of Muslim movements to Christ ever achieved. Garrison divides the Muslim world into nine geo-cultural zones, or "Rooms" in the House of Islam. He discovered and surveyed movements in each of these Rooms, from West Africa to Indonesia and everywhere in between. This book features 46 color photos, 11 color maps with data tables of Muslim people groups, a thorough index, glossary of terms, bibliography, notes, and discussion questions at the end of each chapter.

What Went Wrong
For centuries, the world of Islam was in the forefront of human achievement -- the foremost military and economic power in the world, the leader in the arts and sciences of civilization. Christian Europe was seen as an outer darkness of barbarism and unbelief from which there was nothing to learn or to fear. And then everything changed. The West won victory after victory, first on the battlefield and then in the marketplace. In this elegantly written volume, Bernard Lewis, a renowned authority an Islamic affairs, examines the anguished reaction of the Islamic world as it tried to make sense of how it had been overtaken, overshadowed, and dominated by the West. In a fascinating portrait of a culture in turmoil, Lewis shows how the Middle East turned its attention to understanding European weaponry, industry, government, education, and culture. He also describes how some Middle Easterners fastened blame on a series of scapegoats, while others asked not "Who did this to us?" but rather "Where did we go wrong?"
