The Jinn: The Intricate Relationship between the Jinn and Christian Discipleship

Description

This book is an ontological exposition of discourses on the Jinn, or Spirits, and the relationship between the beliefs of Jinn and influence that the actions arising from the beliefs have on Christian Discipleship activities among the Muslims. These discourses relate to the fear that relates to the beliefs of the Jinn, their powers, and the harm they can cause to Muslims who contravene their ideals. The parallel world of the Jinn is explored in much detail to understand the underlying influence the beliefs of the Jinn have on the acts of discipleship by Christians among Muslims and their consequent result on discipleship or the spread of Christianity. Examples of encounters between humans and the Jinn are provided in greater detail in the initial chapters while the latter chapters of the book focus on the Ministry among Muslims who fear or believe in the Jinn.

Dr. Kigen has done an excellent job of explaining the concept of the Jinn, its impact on the Jinn fearing Muslims and a process of overcoming the strongholds created by the Jinn. He has explored and explained the Jinn concept in the context of the current Christian spiritual warfare discussion. Furthermore, he has developed an innovative process for Discipleship as it relates to leading Jinn fearing Muslims into a freeing relationship in Jesus Christ. For everyone working with groups or people who believe in the Jinn as well or maybe dealing with the Jinn strongholds on a daily basis, this is a must-read book. I can highly recommend it [Prof. Wagner William Mark; Church Planter, Teacher & Director, Ph.D. Program, Olivet University].
