This important volume highlights the challengessuch providers face and offers specific, useful advice for meetingthose challenges while remaining true to the provider's religiousmission.

While this book deals primarily with Christian organizations, theprinciples used by faith-based organizations are essentially thesame. Anyone involved with the management or leadership of a Muslimnonprofit organization should read this book. (Shariq A.
