Teachings from a book on Perry's reading list: Pray Jews and Muslims will come to know Jesus

by David Safier

Rick Perry wants to be a candidate for all the people -- all the Christian people who believe in his brand of religion, that is.

A book Perry is reading right now is Charles Stanley’s "Turning the Tide." The "Tide" in the title is a "tsunami of death and depravity that we’re running out of time to thwart." Here are some of the ways Stanley sees to thwart the tide:

“Pray that Jews worldwide will accept Him as their Savior.”

"May the people of Israel acknowledge their guilt, seek Your face, and accept Your Son—the Messiah."

“Pray for God’s protection against terrorism and ask that Muslims through the world will come to know Jesus as their Savior.”
