ISLAM RISING: The Middle East and Us by Dr. Stuart Robinson sheds light on a complex issue. Secular political leaders and media minders have marginalized religion unless it serves their professional interests. Historical memory hardly extends beyond yesterday's sound bites or delves deeper than the flutter of social media comment. ISLAM RISING summarizes elements of how enduring turmoil in the Middle East has arisen and some implications for the rest of the world. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: REV. DR MARK DURIE, Author and Anglican Pastor, Melbourne, Australia: "In this riveting book, Stuart Robinson calls Christians to get ready to bring in a harvest 'the like of which has never been seen in human history'." DR BERNIE POWER, Lecturer in Islamic Studies, Melbourne School of Theology, Australia: "With typical careful background investigation and insightful analysis, Robinson clarifies about Islamic State what some are too afraid to admit. A book to be thoroughly recommended." ELIZABETH KENDAL, Religious Liberty Analyst and Author, Melbourne, Australia: "This little book will most certainly aid understanding, challenge apathy and inspire hope."
