In his search for channels of dialogue between Christians and Muslims as we move further into the 21st century, the author finds that Jesus can be such a channel. Jesus, One Man Two Faiths explores a wide range of views within each faith that can be supported by what each faith considers to be its revealed scriptures and traditions. It explores Jesus' birth, his life and perfect servant and as suffering servant, his miracles, the events of Good Friday and Easter, the Ascension to heaven, and Jesus coming again at the end of time. One discovers not only similarities, some of which are quite surprising, but also differences that are more often complementary than contradictory, inviting believers in each faith to reflect on their own images of Jesus and, perhaps, expand those images in light of what the other has to offer.

Kristi Hay suffered the loss of her second child when he was just four days old. Kristi and her husband, along with their elder son, had carefully planned for the family's new addition. Suddenly, the vision of their family of four was shattered. It was as if their "world had been turned upside down." The author relates how she and her family found healing with the help of family, friends, and support organizations, and by identifying with others, even well-known figures, who have suffered similar loss. She questioned, yet drew strength from her faith; and through the years, Kristi and her family have found ways to maintain a sense of their second son's presence in their lives. Kristi continues to work as a Labor & Delivery nurse, uniquely positioned to empathize with other families who suffer similar loss. Part of her redemption is her personal ministry of reaching out to those families to offer insights, both professional and personal.
