About the Book

Driving home after a week of course work at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Josh Phillips was crying. He usually managed to keep his emotions in check, but on this day tears streamed down his face. He wept because God had suddenly opened his eyes to the "undeniable opportunity" facing him: to love Muslims in his community and touch them with the gospel of Jesus. "I felt ashamed that I hated Muslims," Phillips writes early on in Engaging Nineveh: A Conservative Church, a Baptist Preacher, and a Newfound Heart for Muslims, his first-person account of a transformation of heart, thought and action on his part and his church's. "I cringed that I only witnessed to people who looked and lived as I did. I felt overwhelmed and ashamed that I was not seeing the mission field in my own community. "I pulled off the road and begged God for forgiveness. Jesus saved me when I was nine years old, but on that northbound highway, He opened my eyes." Phillips had just spent an intensive week in a master-of-divinity-track class with missionaries Nik and Ruth Ripken, who shared stories about their work in dark places around the world. But it was Nik Ripken's exhortation to see Muslims around the world and at home as a field of harvest that broke Phillips' heart. "That was the week God helped me to love my enemies," Phillips said. "That was when I began loving Muslims for the first time." Nik Ripken, writing in the book's foreword, says the experience constituted a "good, hard look in the mirror" for Phillips. "Josh reveals ... how one can face their own racial chasm - not only seeing Muslims as people for whom Christ died, but journeying until the family of Ishmael become one's personal friends." "Josh's book is a pilgrimage of hope and love. He combines his storytelling ability, country-boy humor, and faith in Jesus to challenge his readers to travel down the same road, where faith and racism cannot co-inhabit the same heart."

About the Author :
Josh Phillips was a pastor's kid who served with his parents in churches in Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina and Maryland. He earned master of divinity and doctor of ministry degrees at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He served as family and worship pastor for sixteen years at Pleasant View Baptist Church in Port Deposit, Maryland, where he worked in Muslim ministry as cofounder of the Salaam Center Ministry in Baltimore. He now serves as senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Honea Path, South Carolina, with his wife, Jaclyn, and their three children: Gracen, Nora and Sadie.

Review :
This is a book filled with hope - hope that the love we find in Christ can be exported to those our culture tells us to ignore, dislike, and expel. In this book, divisions become family, and people of other cultures and color become friends. The Old Testament story does not have to end with Abraham expelling Ishmael for Isaac's sake. Josh has chosen a New Testament ending to an old story: where Isaac doesn't fear Ishmael, where he seeks out Ishmael, where he calls Ishmael his brother. You would do well to read Engaging Nineveh, and you would be much better to emulate what you have read. Nik Ripken, International Mission Board Missionary, Author To read a story of a rural church that moved from suspicion and fear to embracing and loving Muslim immigrants is surprising, remarkable and inspiring. And that is what this short work by Joshua Phillips is. Engaging Nineveh weaves together, in a beautiful tapestry, biblical truth with the story of a church that acted on that truth. Danny Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary To reach North America with the gospel, the church in America is going to have to launch an aggressive Great Commission initiative focused on reaching these people whom God has brought to this country. Josh Phillips is one young man who has responded to this need. He knows the need. He knows the people. Read his story and find yourself wanting and willing to follow his example. Jim Shaddix, W.A. Criswell Professor of Expository Preaching, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
