Rev. Joe Book Shelf: HEAVEN ON EARTH: A Journey Through Shari’a Law From the Deserts of Ancient Arabia to the Streets of the Modern Muslim World

As noted here, the author's heart is in the right place. The book was something of a disappointment though. The history part went on too long though it was interesting. The second part (Shari'a today) a bit disjointed and far from comprehensive. Last chapter could have been omitted. Parts were interesting. Skimming recommended.
