The adventure of a lifetime...One September morning in 1974, two nineteen-year-old boys, full of life and looking for adventure, mounted up on ten speed bikes and pedaled into the distance, determined to traverse the United States from sea to shining sea. No cell phones, no hotels, no GPS, and barely any money...what could possibly go wrong? Bold and free spirited, they didn't think they needed to invite God to go with them, but little did they know, He was there all along keeping them alive, thanks to the prayers of their mothers. If you ever wondered if prayer works, this story will settle any doubt!

A guide to reading a translation of the Qur'an that shows how the Qur'an is experienced by Muslims, describing the rhythmic and rhyme scheme structures, the context in which it is heard, the part played by learning by heart, and the importance of calligraphy. It is also about the Qur'an and its relationship to Muhammed.

The book is written in three parts: how the Qur'an is experienced by Muslims as they learn the books by hearts and the importance of calligraphy, the chronology, the relationship between the Qur'an and the earliest biographies of Muhammad and lastly the structure of the Qur'an.

Neal Robinson first outlines the various Christian approaches to the subject and then explains the principles of Muslim exegesis before looking in detail at what five classical Sunni commentaries say about Jesus' return, the crucifixion, the miracles and the virginal conception.
