T We can only speculate whether the serious motorists in the Warren-Detroit 30 automobile have just arrived in Fort Myers or are embarking on a momentous journey. Only the word “Tampa” on the side of the car is a clue. In those days before extensive, well-built hard-surface roads, driving was a demanding activity and therefore worthy of a photo opportunity. And what better place to pose for posterity than at the new modern Heitman-Evans store on the northeast corner of First and Hendry streets? Manager Edward L. “EL” Evans originally had run a hardware store located diago- nally across the intersection on the southeast corner. The store occupied the ground floor and Phoenix Hall, a community meeting space, occupied the second floor. That building was demolished around 1913 to build the First National Bank. Subsequently, in 1914, Evans’s business partner, Harvie E. Heitman, built the brick hardware store on that site, which had a commercial history going back to the 1870s, when JJ Blount opened his general store there. The modern Heitman-Evans Co. was a major step up from the somewhat ram- shackle wooden structures dating from the Blount General Store days. Constructed of pressed brick and equipped with a sprinkler system, the store was deemed fireproof. The ground floor functioned as the hardware store, and the upper floor was used The Heitman-Evans Co. store today, now the offices of Fowler, White, and Boggs on the for displaying farm implements and for storage. northeast corner of First and Hendry Evans, who managed Heitman-Evans Co. for many years, played a pivotal role in making Fort Myers a tarpon-fishing destination, attracting well-known people such as Zane Grey, Rex Beach and EA Pike. His office in the store was a veritable museum that testified to his expertise in fish- ing and tackle design. There, one could find mounted fish, autographed photographs, and anglers’ gear. Heitman-Evans advertised a wide array of goods, including building supplies, sport- ing goods, paint, cutlery, and appliances. Notice the “yacht supplies” sign at the store entrance, from which dangles a fish shaped cut-out. In the mid-1940s, Belk-Lindsey department store opened in the former hardware store. In the 1970s, it was renovated as Heritage Square, using materials from the demolished junior high school at Second Street and Royal Palm Avenue. Today, the offices of Fowler, White, and Boggs occupy the building where an out- standing hardware store opened almost a century ago. Walk down to First and Hendry, where for many decades, Evans dispensed expert advice on all things to do with fishing in Southwest Florida. Then visit the Southwest Florida Museum of History at 2031 Jackson Street, where you can see the exhibit Tutankhamun: Wonderful Things from the Pharaoh’s Tomb, and ask about the Historic Downtown Walking Tours. For information, call 321-7430 or go to swflmuseumofhistory.com. The museum’s hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Then explore the fascinating archives at the Southwest Florida Historical Society at 10091 McGregor Boulevard. Call 939-4044 or drop by on Wednesday or Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon.

    ST5550 Christian Encounter with Islam Reformed Theological Seminary – Orlando Keith Johnson, Ph.D. [email protected] Spring 2021 Monday, 3:00-5:00pm Course Description There are 1.8 billion Muslims in the world (24% of the world’s population). As a global religion, Islam is rapidly growing. In a little over four decades, there will be as many Muslims in the world as Christians and more Muslims than Jews in the U.S. Unfortunately, many Americans (including evangelical Christians) are ignorant about Islam. In the twenty- first century, it is important for Christian leaders to be growing in their understanding of Islam so they can help their communities to love their Muslims as neighbors and bear witness to Christ. This course will help you better understand the history, culture, traditions, beliefs, and practices of Islam. We will reflect on the ways in which Islamic faith and practice have been shaped by historical/cultural circumstances. You will discover that, like global Christianity, Islam exists a rich variety of forms (both in its past and present). For Christians, the presence of Islam raises many important questions: How, from a biblical/theological perspective, should we think about Islam? How do we address Muslim objections to Christian teaching? What are the most effective ways to bear witness to Christ as the way, the truth and the life? Where/how might we partner with Muslims (e.g. addressing social issues)? We will explore Christian engagement with Islam from historical, biblical/theological, missiological and ethical perspectives. As a result of this class, you will be better equipped for cross-cultural ministry in a religiously pluralistic world.

    FINAL RP8007-TXT 5.0 Rev 12.9.Indd

    True Jihad is the best book I have read explaining Islam to the western mind. Mark has tactfully researched, chosen, and presented the most useful material that a Christian needs to understand Islam and be an effective witness to Muslims. Being a Muslim Background Believer (MBB) myself, I encourage you to read this book and put into practice what you learn. Dr. Hormoz Shariat, “The Billy Graham of Iran,” Iran Alive Ministries Since 9/11, Islam has continued to appear at the forefront of the news almost on a daily basis. Every Christian who is serious about sharing the greatest news ever to come to humankind, the gospel, needs to familiarize themselves with Islam and how to communicate the gospel effectively with Muslims. In True Jihad, Mark Pfeiffer guides readers through a brief history of Islam, how to communicate the gospel to Muslims, and how to answer their most common objections to the gospel. Highly recommended. Michael R. Licona, Associate Professor of Theology Houston Baptist University Mark Pfeiffer has challenged us to recognize that Abraham’s other children are dying of spiritual thirst—and that we are commissioned by Jesus Christ to share Living Water with them. Just as God provided physical water for Hagar and Ishmael in the wilderness, He still offers it to Muslims today. And we are the means of quenching that thirst. True Jihad is practical, passionate and provocative. If we let it, it can give us God’s own heart for Muslims, a heart of love and compassion; a heart for sharing the Truth that underlines “true” jihad.
