The Land and the Book - Rick Kronk
Air Date February 4, 2012
Summary
Over the past few decades tens of thousands of Muslims worldwide have come to faith in Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior after experiencing a dream or vision that started them on their spiritual journey. This isn’t the normal pathway to faith we’ve come to expect, and so we greet these reports with at least some skepticism. Can God work through dreams and visions? And is He doing so regularly among Muslims?
This week's guest will help us explore answers to these questions. Rick Kronk is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary who has spent the last 20 years fulfilling his two passions: announcing God’s Good News to his Muslim friends and neighbors and assisting the church in understanding and responding to Islam. He’s written a fascinating book, Dreams and Visions: Muslims’ Miraculous Journey to Jesus, that explores what God is doing to bring Muslims to faith in Jesus. We'll talk to Jim about what is happening among Muslims ... and how their experience matches up against the truth of God's Word.
Later, in our devotional time, we'll hike down a wadi to understand its significance in the lives of both Job and Jeremiah!
