Third Jihad, The - Softcover

Radical Islam has been waging war against our global civilization throughout history—and now, it’s closer than ever to American soil. Dr. Michael Youssef, a Coptic Christian who was born in Egypt and now leads a megachurch in America, knows from firsthand experience that radical Islamists have goals that many American Christians believe are “unthinkable.” In this book, he warns Western Christians that it doesn’t help to ignore what’s going on. There’s a third jihad underway, and its goal is to take over the West.

The Third Jihad is a call for Christians to defend their families, protect their nation, and boldly share the good news of Jesus with their communities—especially their Muslim neighbors.

Packed with surprising insights from history, compelling and dramatic stories, and a practical agenda that one person—or one church—can immediately put into practice to make a difference in the world. Rich in encouraging biblical principles and prophetic insights, The Third Jihad leads the reader to an empowering conclusion in our troubling (and even frightening) times.

Michael Youssef’s insights will inspire Christians to take their faith seriously, share their faith freely, and to truly be salt and light in a world of increasing darkness and decay.

Could the Third Jihad Happen Here?
An American Islamist imam in Washington, DC, has called for the creation of an Islamic State of North America by 2050. A lot of people shake their heads and laugh it off as unthinkable.

Many big moments in history were unthinkable—until they happened.

Could 19 men hijack four commercial airliners and fly them into three buildings and an open field, killing nearly 3,000 people? Unthinkable. But it happened in America in 2001.

Has the Third Jihad reached America’s shores? Is it unthinkable?

Think again . . .
Born in the Middle East, Dr. Michael Youssef speaks with firsthand authority about the goals and methods of today’s radical Islamists. From his perspective, the Third Jihad is not “unthinkable.” It’s a natural and more dangerous outgrowth of the First Jihad (622–751) and Second Jihad (1302–1922). This time, it’s a stealth war, waged by radical ideologues against the values of Western civilization from within our own borders.

It’s time to take the blinders off.
The good news is that you have a part to play in stopping the Third Jihad. It’s time to take action to defend your family and boldly share Jesus with your Muslim neighbors.
