From the Back Cover
What do Muslims really believe?

In our multicultural world, Christians and Muslims will inevitably meet, work with, and live near each other. We hear bits and pieces about what Muslims believe, but is it all true? What does the Qur'an really say about things like Jesus, war, and non-Muslims? What does the Bible say? If we are to engage in informed, loving conversation with Muslims, we need to be equipped with more than the often-specious talking points we glean from the news or email forwards.

Comparing the Qur'an and the Bible offers an unprecedented collection of passages and doctrines of both faiths presented side by side for easy study and comparison, covering such key issues as

Jesus
jihad
ransom for sin / sacrifice
grace
rebirth
Lord God / Allah
women
marriage and divorce
homosexuality
suicide
Paradise
judgment

Islam is one of the fastest-growing faiths in the world. If we are to engage in an informed, loving conversation with Muslims, this book is an indispensible collection of accurate, understandable information taken directly from the primary source books of both faiths.

"A careful and accurate study, based on the biggest primary sources rather than rehashing what others have written--a huge plus to this book."--Paul L. Maier, author; professor of ancient history, Western Michigan University

"An objective comparison between the Bible and the Qur'an that any serious Christian student of Islam needs. Muslims will find a lot of information that would help them in discovering new avenues to understanding the Bible."--Hicham Chehab, pastor of Salam Arabic Church, Chicago; former adjunct professor of Islam at Concordia University, Michigan

A very important work
By Kyle
I found this book to be an excellent and informative work that helped me, as a Christian, better understand the teachings of Islam. The book presents a factual analysis using references from each the Qur'an and the Bible to explain the meaning of each passage and also to explain the influence of each passage on the beliefs of each religion's followers. The book is well researched and presented both surprising similarities and dramatic differences between two of the world's most popular religions. Rev Richter should be commended on his contributions to presenting a basis for followers of both Islam and Christianity to better understanding one another and better understand each other's faith.

Fair and Balanced
By Cook
Unlike a fellow reviewer of this book - I found Rev. Richter's analysis and work in this book extremely fair and balanced - a book that allows the actual texts of the Qur'an and the Bible to speak for themselves - as opposed to thousands of other books out which contain the extended and long winded subjective opinions of the author. If you are looking for a book that simply lets the clear unadulterated words of the Qu'ran and the Bible speak, then this book is for you. This side by side comparison of the Qua'ran and the Bible allows for the reader to assess clearly, simply, distinctly, for themselves what each book teaches and how each either agrees or disagrees with one another. The author of this book offers a brief summary paragraph of what he has discovered through theological and textual review... and these I found to also be very fair and balanced.

A Helpful Guide To Understanding The Differences Between the Muslim And Christian Faith
By Harold Cameron
Comparing the Qur'an and the Bible is a must read for any lover of God and Disciple of Christ in our society today as if you have not already had an opportunity to meet and communicate with someone of the Muslim faith, you surely will. And you need to know what the Bible teaches as well as what the Qur'an teaches if you are going to be effective in your witness to them concerning the Word of God and the teachings of our faith that makes Christianity radically different from the Muslim Faith. And just one personal thought...we as Christians need to be fervently prayerful in regards to our sharing our faith with anyone. We also need to be rightly informed as to what the Word of God says about our faith in contrast to other religions. And we must be humble, meek, gentle and loving in our approach as we meet and communicate with people of a religion that is different than ours. Being argumentative or confrontational will do no good and cause more harm to the cause of Christ than can be imagined.

Pastor Rick Richter has written what just might be the perfect guide for understanding the differences between the Christian faith and the Muslim faith as well as the Word of God and the Qur'an. One thing that is important to note is that Muslims are taught, know and fully believe in what the Qur'an teaches. They are intelligent and well informed concerning their religion. It is sad but they are much more informed concerning their religion and their Holy Book than most professing Christians are concerning our faith and our Holy Word, The Word of God. But Pastor Richter has written a book to change that...that is, if we purchase the book, read it and come to understand the differences in the Christian faith and the Muslim religion.

Author Richter breaks his book down into 2 parts: Part 1 being the part of the book where he writes about the differences in our faiths and what is written in our Holy books. For example in Chapter 1 he writes about who Abraham is and his significance. The author writes that, "Muslims, Christians, and "Jews" all claim Abraham as their father. He then goes on to write about who Abraham was, what his significance is to the Christian faith as well as the other faiths and about Abraham and what is referred to as "The Ka'aba. In Chapter 2 author Richter writes about Ishmael and Isaac and their importance to people of the Muslim and Christian faith.

In Chapter 3 Pastor Richter writes about Jews, Muslims and Christians and the differences that exist in our faith. This chapter is a real eye opener concerning what Muslims really believe about Jews and Christians. It is probably not what you have thought and will prove to be quite shocking to you. In Chapter 4 he writes about Allah/versus the Lord God. Although as the author points out the Qur'an and the Bible do have some similarity in views there is as the author writes, "a basic divergence of teaching on the being of God." It is in chapter 5 that the author addresses the issue of the historical Jesus and what the Qur'an teaches versus what the Bible teaches about the person, mission, life and death of Christ as well as the meanings of Grace and faith to the Muslims. And for starters, the author writes the Qur'an teaches that it is not by "grace through faith" in Jesus Christ - or through "forgiveness by atonement" that people come to God and establish a relationship with him leading to rebirth. The Qur'an does not mention rebirth or being "born again" in its writings.

In Chapter 6 Pastor Richter writes about "Angels and Jinn;" in Chapter 7 about Humankind, and in Chapter 8 regarding "Women and Marriage." Again on these issues the author relates the differences between the Christian faith and the Muslim faith...and there are many differences in our beliefs.

In Chapter 9 author Richter writes about the "Ethical Teachings" of the Bible versus the Qur'an. In Chapter 10 he shares the differences in what Christians and Muslims believe about the "End Times." It is in Chapter 11 that he addresses the "primary source" of information for our rule of faith, practice and life...for the Muslim it is the Qur'an and for the Christian it is the Holy Bible, The Word of God. The Qur'an is the highest authority in the Muslim faith just as the Bible is for professing Christians. In Chapter 12 he shares about the differences in our practice of faith, the spiritual disciples of our faith such as in the areas of "Prayer, "Almsgiving, "Fasting" and "Pilgrimage." In Chapter 13 he gives a brief summation of the major differences that exist between the Christian faith and the Muslim faith. Things we all need to know if we are going to be effective in our witness to people of the Muslim faith.

In Part 2 and Chapter 14 of his book, Pastor Richter asks and then gives Biblically solid answers to the "Questions of Life," and in Chapter 15 he reveals how we are to go about sharing the Good News of the Gospel with Muslims when we are presented with such a privilege and opportunity. He then provides us a glimpse into the life of Muhammad, as well as some information about the Shi'ites and Sunnis. He concludes his book with a remarkable and stirring "Testimony of a Former Muslim." It is sure to touch your heart as you read it. He gives us a helpful "Study Guide" to use as the reader of his book so that we can take notes to help us remember what we have read and studied concerning the Qur'an and the Bible. He then ends his book with "Reference Pages" of Scripture passages that he has quoted throughout his book, and his book is loaded with the Scriptures to aid us in understanding what the Word of God teaches versus what the Qur'an teaches. You will find them to be most helpful.

So, if you are looking for a compact, accurate guide that will help you understand the differences between the Qur'an and the Bible as well as the Muslim Faith and the Christian faith, this is the book for you. I highly recommend it as an invaluable resource for accurate and factual information concerning not only the Muslim faith but also for our faith as Christians.

I received a complementary copy of the book Comparing the Qur'an and the Bible by Rick Richter By Baker Publishing Group for reviewing the book.

So look frustrated
By Sue Robertson
Had this app for months and loved it. Then ....disaster...unable to use it without upgrading and cannot upgrade it thru Google play as it tells me to. Spent hours trying to work around this issue with no success.

Was working
By Mac
Found this in the Amazon appstore for my kindle fire. Was really excited to have all my email in one place. Now it tells me to update which I tried but it sends me to Google play store which my device does not support without rooting. I was hoping to use this and I don't know a way around it. Seems more like Amazon's fault then the app.

Disappointed to say the least.
By Jack 'n' Cherry Coke
Would be more than happy to give this app a 5-star review based upon ease of UI (user interface) and streamlined appearance. However, this app will not update no longer syncs with my Amazon Kindle Fire HD/Silk browser. Kicks out of Yahoo! Mail, requesting password verification, leading to yet another error that "My Mail App will not run without access to Google Play Services". Allowing downloads from 'Unknown Sources' does not alleviate this problem, either, since it does not connect through Silk.

If there is a fix for these problems, please, do so. I love this app. Otherwise, I shall be on the hunt for a replacement all-in-one mail app.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I'm about to marry a monster – and there's not a thing I can do to stop it.
Olivia
I don't deserve this.
All I wanted was to escape my past.
But when my brother needed me to get him out of trouble,
I didn't have a choice.

Now I'm standing at the altar with an animal...
A handsome, rugged animal.

He's going to bend me over.
Break me.
Swallow me whole.

And I'm about to be his...
'til death do us part.

Blaze
I don't chase girls – I replace them.
And I thought I'd seen the last of Olivia.
But when the survival of the club depends on it,
I didn't have a choice.

But now that I'm about to marry her,
there's only one thing on my mind:

Finish what I started.

She might hate me, but I don't give a damn.
I'm going to make her MINE.

The growing dependence of working environments on complex technology has created many challenges and lead to a large number of accidents. Although the quality of organization and management within the work environment plays an important role in these accidents, the significance of individual human action (as a direct cause and as a mitigating factor) is undeniable. This has created a need for new, integrated approaches to accident analysis and risk assessment.

This book detailing the use of CREAM is, therefore, both timely and useful.
It presents an error taxonomy which integrates individual, technological and organizational factors based on cognitive engineering principles. In addition to the necessary theoretical foundation, it provides a step-by-step description of how the taxonomy can be applied to analyse as well as predict performance using a context-dependent cognitive model.

CREAM can be used as a second-generation human reliability analysis (HRA) approach in probabilistic safety assessment (PSA), as a stand-alone method for accident analysis and as part of a larger design method for interactive systems. In particular, the use of CREAM will enable system designers and risk analysts to:
• identify tasks that require human cognition and therefore depend on cognitive reliability
• determine the conditions where cognitive reliability and ensuing risk may be reduced
• provide an appraisal of the consequences of human performance on system safety which can be used in PSA.

Kindle version: Text quality is poor
By John J. Vahey
Not really sure what's up with the text on this version. It is searchable, and you can change the font size, but the font itself has the appearance of a poor-quality scanned document. Some of the table information is unreadable. Haven't read the book yet, but for $115 this should be exemplary, and it's far from it.

Insightful discussion of human performance in complex systems
By Bruce Hallbert
Dr. Hollnagel's book provides an excellent background and introduction to the challenges facing designers and operators of complex systems who wish to account for human performance. He provides a thoughtful discussion of cognitive and organizational mechanisms that influence human behavior and provides a practical and throrough guide to understanding and assessing the implications of system design on human performance. This book will be a valuable reference and source of knowledge for system developers and maintainers of complex systems and technologies.

Good multiple 3-4 Defensive Package
By Frank
Lots of great ideas that anyone could integrate into an existing defensive plan. The coverage section lacks complete explanation of the details listed there. I would still recommend this to any defensive coach trying to find resources to supplement or develop a multiple 3-4 defensive package.

In 2001, with funding from the MacArthur Foundation, sociologists Patrick J. Carr and Maria J. Kefalas moved to Iowa to understand the rural brain drain and the exodus of young people from America’s countryside. They met and followed working-class “stayers”; ambitious and college-bound “achievers”; “seekers,” who head off to war to see what the world beyond offers; and “returners,” who eventually circle back to their hometowns. What surprised them most was that adults in the community were playing a pivotal part in the town’s decline by pushing the best and brightest young people to leave.

In a timely, new afterword, Carr and Kefalas address the question “so what can be done to save our communities?” They profile the efforts of dedicated community leaders actively resisting the hollowing out of Middle America. These individuals have creatively engaged small town youth—stayers and returners, seekers and achievers—and have implemented a variety of programs to combat the rural brain drain.  These stories of civic engagement will certainly inspire and encourage readers struggling to defend their communities.

Life in Flyover Country
By Hoosier Mamma
I read this book after hearing one of the authors interviewed on the radio. I live in a rural area but did not grow up here so the subject matter was near and dear to me. As I read it, I found myself nodding in agreement over and over. Yes, this IS how life operates in rural and small town areas of flyover country, although many of the families who have lived here for generations refuse to see it. I have seen my own area decline greatly in the 30 years we have called it home and this book explains why.
If you live in a rural area, or strive to understand those in mid-America, this book is a great place to start. After I read it, I passed it on to my husband and then my children (who grew up and moved away, like so many others have) and we were all in a agreement that yes, this is how it is.

Hollowing Out the Middle Rings True
By olingerstories
Carr and Kefalas's HOLLOWING OUT THE MIDDLE:THE RURAL BRAIN DRAIN AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR AMERICA is a scientific, yet heart-felt look at the demise of small town rural America. Setting up in a renamed Iowa town, the authors ask why the best and the brightest often leave their heartland roots behind and then ask what can be done to reverse the trend. They divide rural young people up into four main categories:

1) The Achievers--those who are not only personally driven to succeed, but praised throughout their communities for their talent and achievements. They earn awards, go off to college, and never return because they have over-qualified themselves to return home.

2) The Stayers--those who want to make a go of it in the only place they have ever called home. They love their families, the community, and the opportunity to raise their kids in the homeland, despite the fact that employment opportunities are limited and the chance to earn high wages low.

3) The Seekers--As Carr and Kefalas put it, "What the Seekers know, with the utmost certainty is that they do not want to stay in the countryside all of their lives."

4) The Returners--Whether an Achiever or a Seeker, the Returners decide in time that there is no place like home, even if that means a lower standard of living or the abandonment of a dream.

As one who left a small town, the descriptions and motivations of each group are spot on. I felt as if I was re-living my own upbringing and decisions. In that regard, the book is gripping. The book's weakness rests in the solutions that Carr and Kefalas propose. They recommend immigration and the broadening of the population base, which have the feel of abstract and sociological solutions out of a textbook. Their attempt to help is honest, but the truth is that no one has the solution.

Great Perspective on School Systems in General
By R. F. A.
What I liked most about this book is how you could easily compare the shrinking town in Iowa, "Ellis," to many countries that are also experiencing a brain drain. Both my parents are immigrants (to the US) so I am a product of a brain drain, and have been hearing about it all my life. I never thought about the rural brain drain, because migration to the city has always seemed to me as a sign of modernization, in fact this book counters Florida's Rise of the Creative Class, which talks about how cities need to have culture and a cool reputation as well as businesses with flexibility and a cool reputation to attract the best professionals.

Hollowing out the Middle shows that small town school systems and communities dig their own graves by preparing the best students to leave, while kind of ignoring the ones likely to stay. The ones who leave also tend to be wealthier or prettier and have families with good reputations - this favoritism isn't unique to the Heartland. Even if the ones more likely to stay were given more attention, the authors show that the lack of jobs and the lack of things to do is the main reason people leave.

My favorite story from the book is about a "Mike Craun," softspoken, hardworking, recent father, who partied like a crazy person and took a lot of drugs which one night resulted in him totaling a brand new car and almost getting arrested for arson: "'Why did you get ito all this crazy stuff?' we ask. Mike answers, 'I was just bored.'" I think that this is 70% of the motive behind any teenager or young person or maybe any person getting into drugs or drinking. Boredom is the real plague of rural America, and small towns everywhere.

Overall this book is a quick and easy read and uses many stories to illustrate how rural America is making itself extinct and how it can improve.
