Unshackled & Growing

By Nabeel T. Jabbour

Muslims and Christians on the Journey to Freedom

Do you know Muslims who are not attracted to Christianity yet are intrigued by Christ? As you attempt to win these Muslim friends to Christ, you may be tempted to dump the entire Gospel message on them in the wrong way at the wrong time. Musims can easily sniff out an agenda, but truthful, culturally-sensitive answers and a genuine friendship can change their lives. Unshackled & Growing, a new book by Nabeel Jabbour, can bring focus and new opportunities to your loving relationships with Muslims. The book contains three parts:

Part I is for Muslims who are interested in knowing more about Jesus. It will answer many of their questions, while presenting truth and grace in a way that is sensitive to their backgrounds.
Part II contains the absolute essentials for a new believer to grow in Christ. It is ideal for discipling a Muslim-background believer individually or in a small group.
Part III is a manual for building godly habits in an atmosphere of grace, including Scripture memory, prayer, developing their testimony, and having a quiet time.

Endorsements for Unshackled & Growing
Unshackled & Growing is an extraordinarily helpful resource for any Muslim who is seeking to learn more about Jesus and who is concerned with comparing the worldviews of Islam and Christianity. Dr. Jabbour’s familiarity with Arabic and Islamic culture and the concerns of Muslim people make this an insightful book. As a former Muslim who has come to faith in Jesus, I wish that I had the benefit of this book during my own journey.

This unique and valuable book explains in simple and straightforward language how curiosity can lead to genuine attraction to the man Jesus and then to personal trust.
Colin Chapman
Professor and Author

The Christian life is both coming to Christ through faith in Him and then walking with Him the rest of one’s days. Dr. Jabbour addresses both of these issues with clarity and simplicity.

I want to strongly urge you, my colleagues and my friends who love Muslims, to introduce this book to them.

Numerous books that I read about Christianity failed to help me explain my faith effectively to my Muslim family and friends. Dr. Jabbour’s book is readable with stories and illustrations that speak to the Muslim mind. He presents the pure and biblical Gospel and invites the reader to be a “follower of Jesus,” not a Western Christian.

University Professor

Are you curious to know the truth about Jesus’ life and message? Then read this book. There is no other like it. Nabeel Jabbour has written this book to people who admire Jesus’ life and wonder if He was more than a prophet. He writes with the historical and biblical accuracy of a scholar and with the gentleness of a true follower of Jesus.

The issue of who Jesus really is in the Muslim mind has always raised questions and debate. This book gives an excellent explanation about Jesus and the “true Injil” with simple language and clear illustrations. Every page is worthwhile reading.
