Vivienne: The Missiologist

  ‘To this day I can remember things Vivienne said during the course [Women in Islam} and through her writings. For example, she said that only Christian women could win Muslim women by building loving relationships and demonstrating personal interest and concern for them. She said that since a Muslim woman seldom hears her name, praying for her by name, gives genuine worth and value. She said that though many Muslim women are illiterate, and know little about the Qur'an, they do know quite a bit about the Judgement to come. And many have the idea that obedience to their husband holds the key to whether or not they themselves make it to heaven.’ (Warren Larson)
