Bold As Love by Bob Roberts, Jr


Bob Roberts is breaking ground and making a way for us to follow. I would drive past mosques in my city, and think about stopping. How would I be received? What would I say? He gives a bold, loving example that neither compromises faith in Jesus nor alienates those who don't believe.

I was encouraged and honestly relieved to see him differentiate between interfaith and multifaith.  He doesn't water down his beliefs in Christ and he shares them boldly.  He acknowledges that we disagree with the Islam faith, but that we are still called to love one another.  He develops close friendships with Muslims, and is able to share out of that place of relationship.

As our world becomes more and more integrated - Muslims living next door to Christians, etc, we need tools and a game plan to reach out to them with the love of Jesus. Bob Roberts gives both vision and practical equipping to take those steps. And he shares in a way that makes me eager to do it!

I received a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson/Handlebar Marketing in exchange for my honest review.
