Synopsis
This observant, witty book reveals the conventions that govern Muslim society - and charts the unwitting mistakes Westerners can makes when meeting Muslims. 'This book is for Christians venturing among Muslims,' explains Christine Mallouhi. 'It assumes that Christians will want to live honourable among Muslims for Christ's sake, and explores what that means...I am the Western wife of an Arab from a conservative Muslim family. My stories are from the shadow side of Muslim culture, which is invisible to most Westerners.' Her themes include: - status - the place of women - the veil - stereotypes - segregation and restrictions - family life - hospitality and witness

Review
"For Christians who work with, live with, or minister to Muslims, this book helps explain the whats and whys of the world of Muslim women. Also dealt with are topics such as role models, segregation, restrictions, opportunities, family life, and unwritten rules."
This book is so packed with details I couldn't even begin to cover part of the situations, but anyone interested in the Arab culture will gain great insight. In the Arab world there is no individual, there is only community. I think every church library should have a copy of this book. It raises so many questions about how we as a group, missionaries or tourists, can give Christians and Americans a bad name and how we can be more sensitive to other cultures.--Jan Arkills"Lamplighter Reviews" (08/01/2005)
"Readers will find Mallouhi's insights, warm tone, and fascinating anecdotes hard to put down. This is one of the most absorbing and readable books on Islam that I have found. It should be required reading for anyone doing mission work among Muslims, but it would also be helpful in other honor based societies, such as Hindu cultures."--Debbie W. Wilson"Christian Book Previews" (05/01/2005)
