- Summary:
- Muslims today are creating a new era of Islamic Renewal. Islam's 'River of Life' has created oases from Morocco to China. This book captures the stories of ordinary Muslims living extraordinary lives, thanks to their rejuvenating springs. It gives us some of the most important voices of a centrist Islam that Westerners rarely hear and that reveal much more than the fringe stories of the latest Islamic threat projected by the corporate media.
