Paul-Gordon Chandler’s acclaimed book on Muslim/Christian relations, titled Pilgrims of Christ on the Muslim Road: Exploring a New Path Between Two Faiths (published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2008) focuses on what we can be learned from the life and thought of Mazhar Mallouhi, the well known Syrian Arab novelist and “Sufi Muslim follower of Christ”. His first book was God’s Global Mosaic, What We Can Learn from Christians Around the World, published by InterVarsity Press (IVP) in January 2000. His most recent book is titled Songs In Waiting: Spiritual Reflections on Christ's Birth...A Celebration of Middle Eastern Canticles, published by Morehouse Publishing in July 2009. He has begun work on another book which will focus on the spiritual journey of Kahlil Gibran, the early 20th century Lebanese writer and mystic of Christian background (best known in the West for his book "The Prophet"). Additionally he has written numerous articles in various publications.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“Good books do not make people wiser or happier—only more conscious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“The book borrower of real stature whom we envisage here proves himself to be an inveterate collector of books not so much by the fervor with which he guards his borrowed treasures and by the deaf ear which he turns to all reminders from the everyday world of legality as by his failure to read these books.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
