Description
Author Jonathan Fuller weaves through the dates and events of history the personal stories of Filipinos Muslims and Christians, including his own story.  By providing a basic history of Islam in the Philippines and its encounter with Christianity, this much-needed resource aims to help break down the barriers of fear and mistrust between Muslims and Christians in the Philippines.  The reader will see in over a thousand years of comings and goings in the Philippines God's eternal sovereignty in history -- that all of history is His story.

Book Excerpt
"The ringing of the phone interrupted a quiet afternoon doze.  Pastor 'Efraim' was calling to thank me for my presentation on the history of Islam and Christianity at the conference.
    Before I could express my appreciation for the call though, my friend went on to say ,'At the end of your seminar you challenged us to love Muslims and to pray that the Lord would bless them through our lives.  I'm afraid this is something I cannot do because I don't love Muslims and I don't want Muslims in heaven.'
    I didn't know what to say, but the pastor broke the silence, 'Please don't judge me, Jon.  You don't know my history.  You don't know what Muslims have done to me and my family.'  For the next fifteen minutes he shared stories of land stolen, promises broken, and family members murdered -- a history of the encounter between Islam and Christianity through the eyes and heart of one man.  History came alive that afternoon as I hung up the phone and wept."

I am curious about this book. Was this written to promote equality among Christians and Muslims? What is the aim of this book?
