Reviews
""Shumack encourages us to be bold, grace-full and Jesus-centred. He urges us to ask questions that challenge Muslim people to think how their faith works in real life. I was spurred on in my witness and pray that this nonformulaic approach bears fruit in our Western context (and among all the people I intend to give this book)."" - Churchman ""This small book is a goldmine of wisdom and experience gathered from Richard's many years of ministry.
