Whether we will admit it or not; it happens all the time. We often judge individuals; families; churches; and other organizations based on a lack of information. We hear something negative about a teenager in our child's class and assume that the parents are slacking off; we get reprimanded by the church greeter for our attire and assume that the whole church is unfriendly and cold; we listen to the news about a greedy CEO and assume the whole company is out to rip us off. Following this train of thought; what do you think of when you hear the name Muhammad? Do you think of a prophet of God sent to the Arabs or do you think of a leader who formed a blood-thirsty religion? Your perception will most likely be skewed by what you know about Muslims today. But that begs the question. What do you really know about Muhammad and Islam? Are you willing to study and learn about his life and teachings? Are you willing to reach across the divide and get to know the descendants of Abraham so that we can relate to them better? "Who Was Muhammad? An Analysis of the Prophet of Islam in Light of the Bible and the Quran" engages readers in a fascinating study of the life and times of Muhammad from a historical and prophetic standpoint. Pastor Doug Hardt then launches readers into an in-depth study of the Quran and Muhammad's teachings to see if they agree or disagree with the Word of God. This book will deepen your understanding of the origin of the second largest religion in the world.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. fast and enjoyable readBy BananaramaNot much in the way of surprises here; but Simien's wit and charm shine through and make this a fast and enjoyable read. The majority of the book frames microaggressions and post-racism in hilarious tongue-in-cheek quizzes and infographics. But when it has its serious moments; "black people just want to be given the opportunity to be themselves; rather than their race or a representative therein;" there's a poignant and depressing truth to it. Yes; the book is funny; but more importantly; it underscores the fact that there's still a lot of shit out there; and that sucks.Being able to address very real; very shitty issues in a light-hearted way is hard; but Simien pulls it off with apparent effortlessness.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Would recommend for funny contentBy Craigy PAdapted from the movie of the same name; the topics in the book basically hit home; even though it is a satirical book. This book is something that most Black people will be able to relate to; while getting a laugh; while many non-POC would probably find it informational. A quick read if you have a decently long plane ride or road trip to embark on. Would recommend for funny content; if anything.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Emotions we don't often recognize.By Seattle ReaderThis book brought me several points that I had not considered regarding the emotions and actions of people in bi-racial situations. It really made me stop and think. At first; I thought the attitude of the author was harsh; then I realized that he was telling it how it IS; and how he lived it. I strongly recommend reading it for a better understanding of actions and reactions that are not always brought out into the open in our society.
