Ralph Stice brings a unique perspective to his writing on the Islamic world. He has worked as a journalist, served as a pastor, then spent more than a decade as a teacher and non-profit worker living in Islamic communities in West Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
He and his family lived in a community much like the one in France that produced the terrorists involved in the recent "Charlie Hebdo" attack, for instance. That gives Ralph a special insight into the hopes, frustrations and religious practice of Muslims in several different contexts.
Ralph has spoken in more than 100 churches worldwide and continues to do seminars on Islam and its possible role in the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Wherever he speaks, Ralph brings a heart of sincere love for Muslim people, but a wariness of a form of Islam that has no interest in co-existence with other faiths.
The central theme in Ralph's writing and speaking is that one can NEVER understand what's happening in the Islamic world unless every news update is seen through spiritual eyes.
