Endorsements
“Dr. Gauss, in this profound study, is upholding the truth of the Gospel, revealing the fallacies of a false religion. His pen is sharp but the imprint of his spirit is marked with compassion and love for a lost people who believe they are worshipping the one true God.
“I commend Dr. Gauss on writing such an informative book bringing out the darkness that covers every page of the Quran and delusions of the Islamic faith.
“May there be more voices such as Dr. Gauss proclaiming the truth of God with boldness and in the spirit of Christ. And may we witness freedom for millions of Muslims who are bound by a dark and evil force!
“Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble….”

“James Gauss’ Understanding Islam in the Light of Christianity is a thought provoking and needed resource which brings deep truths into a discussion which continues to be mired by lies and deception. Challenging the doctrine of Islam from a factual yet loving basis, Gauss exposes how normative and universally taught Islam is directly contrary to the basic teachings of Jesus and his Church. This book promotes great discussions and offers a significant amount of information which is valuable to students of history and of the truth. I recommend it for all open-minded and open-hearted people wanting to expand their understanding of these matters.”

“Your book is the finest and most thorough analysis I have ever seen of the teachings of the Quran in comparison to the Bible. It is a treasure trove of biblical truth, theological insight, and practical application.
My granddaughter is using it in her Global Studies class on Islam this very semester. I think a college-level text book version would be very helpful.”

“In today’s ever charged torrent of religious and political unrest, it is becoming increasingly vital for the people of the world to understand the truth of both the religious and the geopolitical nature of Islam. The heart, purpose and vision of the Islamic system governed by a complete way of life known as Shari’ah is dangerously misunderstood and highly underestimated by the West. It has been that way for 1400 years, numbing the minds of people like a shot of Novocain before treating an abscessed tooth. This compendium, ‘Understanding Islam in the Light of Christianity’ by Dr. James Gauss, is a vital and valuable resource that will be called upon again and again. If you are a pastor, spiritual leader, governmental leader, business leader or simply a curious person with a sincere desire to understand the heart of both Islam and Christianity, get this book.”

“Using comprehensive comparisons of Muhammad and Jesus, Bible and Quran passages, examination of Islam’s message vs. Christianity’s message, and, pointing out that while the Quran claims Allah is the God of Muslims, Jews and Christians, the Quran promotes hatred toward Jews and Christians. Via a multitude of examples, James Gauss proves there is no common ground between the Bible and the Quran; the Quran negates the Bible’s message; and, Islam and Christianity oppose each other in their messages. You’ll never find a more thorough comparison of Islam and Christianity.”
