"The book, Ishmael in the Presence of His Brethren, is a biblical explanation for the 'ubiquitous' nature of Ishmaelites and the purpose for which God allows it.The years of experience coupled with on-the-job expertise of the author and the accurate insight into the Scriptures with which the book is written makes it a must for every believer who is serious about sharing Christ's love with the Muslims anywhere in the world."Dotun Adeboye, Training Director, Christian Missionary Foundation (CMF). "John Idoko has done a neat job of unmasking Ishmael in a simple and easy to read prose. He has offered the reader a depth of insight and inspiration that is both educative and instructive. Though primarily written for those seeking to reach the sons of Abraham's other first son, Ishmael in the Presence of His Brethren will be a welcome tool for those of that clan who need to know or want to find out the truth about their pedigree. It is very enjoyable to read and helpful for ministry to the Muslims."Timothy Olonade, President, El-Rehoboth Global Leadership Foundation; Int'l Lead Facilitator, M2414Initiative, Jos, Nigeria. "Today there is a lot of fear among Christians concerning the advance of Islam, especially when violent terrorists claim to be motivated by the God of Islam. Are these terrorists betraying a peaceful Islam? Or does Islam have a DNA that includes "genes" of violence"? The author of Ishmael in the Presence of His Brethren excavates answers to these questions, going all the way back to the two "firstborn" sons of Abraham in the Bible. Then the author clearly answers another question. Is God behind the influx of Muslims into Christian countries and communities? If so, what is God's strategy for His church? That strategy is what this book explains so well-the only way to a lasting "peaceful coexistence" in this world and the next, the Peace given through Christ Jesus, not as the world gives."
