About this item
Radical Islam has been waging war against our global civilization throughout history -- and now, it's closer than ever to American soil. Dr. Michael Youssef, a Coptic Christian who was born in Egypt and now leads a megachurch in America, knows from firsthand experience that radical Islamists have goals that many American Christians believe are "unthinkable." In this book, he warns Western Christians that it doesn't help to ignore what's going on. There's a third jihad underway, and its goal is to take over the West.The Third Jihad is a call for Christians to defend their families, protect their nation, and boldly share the good news of Jesus with their communities -- especially their Muslim neighbors.Packed with surprising insights from history, compelling and dramatic stories, and a practical agenda that one person -- or one church -- can immediately put into practice to make a difference in the world.
