Review
George Verwer, Founder of Operation Mobilisation.
"I am excited about this book, but its 50 years late. Ever since coming to the UK
over 50 years ago I have been urging people to show the Love of Jesus and that
must be whether they come to know him or not. We are paying a heavy price for
our alienation, prejudice and lack of action. Now in London alone we have about
one million Muslims. What a huge joy to know that some are coming to Jesus and
we must go the extra mile to love them, encourage them and work with them in
any way possible. This important amazing book can help us do just that. Please
don't just read it, but get copies to give to others."
Greg Livingstone, Founder of Frontiers.
"Tim and Rachel Green have lived years in Muslim countries. His Ph.D. addresses
the vital issues of identity for those who have been rejected by their biological
families who hunger for what our Heavenly Father intends Christ's family to be
for them. Roxy is one of those precious jewels whom Christ Jesus adopted, who
herself has gone through the crucible of rejection by her clan but eventually found
a family among Christ's disciples in Britain.
Reading it brought me hope that herein is vital guidance which Christians in the
West need who have longed to know how to keep connected with and serve
Muslim background Christians who desperately need to be adopted into and
nurtured by Christ's family.
Spend time in the "points to ponder", and interact with like-minded welcomers
of those who pay the terrible price of 'betraying their families' by entering Christ's
family.
Admittedly, it is not often that I, as a veteran focused on the rescue mission of
Muslims for over fifty years, read a book that takes me into further understanding
of what it means to 'make disciples' (among Muslims). Joining the Family did just
that. It generates two wishes: One, that it will be absorbed by God's people who
are motivated to effectively love their brethren cast out of their Muslim families
and two...that this book would have been produced and widely distributed
decades ago!"
Vaughan Roberts, Rector of St Ebbe's and Director of Proclamation Trust
"This excellent book is just what the church needs to help us catch up with the
remarkable work God is doing in bringing people from Muslim backgrounds to
Christ and to equip us to play our part in helping them grow with us as fellow
members of his family."
