Présentation de l'éditeur

A Heart Broken Open - Radical Faith in an Age of Fear is the moving and insightful reflection by an Christian Minister of his grassroots engagement with Islam through relationships built from inner-city parish ministry in Leeds to the streets of Karbala, Iraq at a time of rising Islamophobia and the 'war on terror'. The author offers a way of witnessing to Christ's peace whilst entering into the faith of `the other' with humility and love, allowing the way of Islam and the practice of Muslims to touch, challenge and inspire his Christian faith and feed his hunger for God. In so doing he
offers us inspiration in finding our own ways to walk with confidence in Christ's love amongst neighbours of many faiths and none.
