MINNEAPOLIS, May 11 /Christian Newswire/ --Many readers have praised Carl Medearis' book "Muslims, Christians and Jesus: Gaining Understanding and Building Relationships" (Bethany House/Baker Publishing Group) because his insights and stories from 25 years of "living, loving and sharing and grieving" with Muslims shatters many of the common Western stereotypes about Islam and helps believers build authentic friendships with Muslims. And his genuine love and compassion for Muslims is contagious as it comes through his writing.

Now, the international ministry Frontiers plans to give away 20,000 copies of the book to their donors and other constituents.

"At last a wider public can be encouraged, as I have, by the life and teaching of Carl Medearis," said Bob Blincoe, Frontier's U.S. Director. "The stories in Carl's book were made possible because he and his wife have followed Jesus outside the safety of America's gated communities."

Bethany House is thrilled to be partnering with Frontiers in this endeavor which will encourage and equip many to share the good news of Jesus Christ with Muslims.
