Stranger No More
Author: Annahita Parsan
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0718095723
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
There will be pain ahead, and trouble and problems that I won’t be able to fix on my own. But in them all, I know God will be there, calling me to look to him. Inviting me to take the next step toward his open arms. And I will say yes. And yes. And yes. Annahita Parsan was born into a Muslim family in Iran and grew up with the simple hope of one day finding a good husband, having children, and doing some good in the world. Married and a mother before she turned eighteen, Annahita found herself unexpectedly widowed and trapped for years in an abusive second marriage that she later fled—discovering instead a God who might love her. Stranger No More is the remarkable true story of Annahita’s path from oppression to the life-changing hope of Jesus. Fleeing Iran across the mountains into Turkey, she spent months in the terrifying Agri prison before a miraculous release and flight to Europe, where she and her two children knelt in a church and prayed, “God, from this day on we are Christians.” Filled with unthinkable circumstances, miraculous rescues, and the quietly constant voice of Jesus, Stranger No More leads readers deep into the heart of God and draws them toward the same call that Annahita heeds today: using her past to save others from theirs. As the leader of two congregations in Sweden, Annahita has baptized hundreds of former Muslims since her own conversion, has seen firsthand the powerful ways God is at work among those who have left Islam behind, and is reminded every day that saying yes to God is always worth the risk.

Pilgrims of Christ on the Muslim Road
Author: Paul-Gordon Chandler
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 0742566048
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Today's tensions between the 'Islamic' East and 'Christian' West run high. Here Paul-Gordon Chandler presents fresh thinking in the area of Christian-Muslim relations, showing how Christ_whom Islam reveres as a Prophet and Christianity worships as the divine Messiah_can close the gap between the two religions. Historically, Christians have taken a confrontational or missionary approach toward Islam, leading many Muslims to identify Christianity with the cultural prejudices and hegemonic ambitions of Westerners. On the individual level, Christ-followers within Islam have traditionally been encouraged by Christians to break away from their Muslim communities. Chandler boldly explores how these two major religions_which share much common heritage_can not only co-exist, but also enrich each other. He illustrates his perspective with examples from the life of Syrian novelist Mazhar Mallouhi, widely read in the Middle East. Mallouhi, a self-identified 'Sufi Muslim follower of Christ,' seeks to bridge the chasm of misunderstanding between Muslims and Christians through his novels.

Prepare for Persecution
Author: Fred Farrokh
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781625861917
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Through what lens do you view history? A standard perspective offered in the West is that we are all experiencing a process of steady moral and material improvements. This is called "progress." This comforting message is served up to us despite all evidence to the contrary. Yet this was not how Jesus saw the future course of history, not for his church. The future for believers, Jesus warned, will be marked by rejection, trials, and persecution. In this timely and strategic book, Dr. Fred Farrokh has issued a "Get Ready" warning to equip his brothers and sisters to be ready to stand their ground. -from the Foreword by Dr. Mark Durie The global church today faces significant challenges, even in lands once renowned for religious freedom. Pastors, leaders, and laypeople must navigate the following questions: - How should Christians respond to mandates by governments to close churches or limit attendance? - How can believers continue to witness for Christ in this Orwellian age of cancel culture, in which simply stating a biblical position can be deemed "hate speech"? - What sources of information are reliable in the face of mounting media dishonesty and anti-Christian propaganda? - When should Christians risk going to jail for what they believe? Like the warning on some airplanes goes, "Your nearest way of escape may be behind you." Beyond simply pointing a way of escape, Prepare for Persecution: Lessons from Acts guides today's believers through the example of Jesus' disciples. The early church overcame persecution again and again in the pages of the Acts of the Apostles-witnessing as they went, in the comfort and power of the Holy Spirit. This book chronicles nine key storylines of Acts. Each chapter concludes with "Applications for the Church Today" and "For Further Discussion," making the book ideal for group Bible study. DR. FRED FARROKH is a Muslim-background Christian. He is an ordained missionary with Elim Fellowship. Dr. Farrokh holds an MA in Public Policy Analysis and Administration from Binghamton University in New York, and a PhD in Intercultural Studies from Assemblies of God Theological Seminary. He presently serves as an international trainer with Global Initiative: Reaching Muslim Peoples.

From Islam to Christ
Author: Derya Little
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1681497700
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Born and raised in Muslim Turkey, Derya Little wandered far and wide in search of her true home. After her parents' divorce, she rejected her family's Islamic faith and became an atheist. During her stormy adolescence, she tried to convince a Christian missionary that there is no God but was converted to Christ instead. Her winding path through the riddles of God was not over, however. While attending a Turkish university and serving as a Christian youth minister, Derya began to compare the teachings of Protestantism and Catholicism, and during her doctoral studies in England, she entered the Catholic Church. Ultimately, she ended up in the United States, where she has become a citizen and has settled down to raise a family. Derya's story provides a window into both Islam and modernity. It shows that the grace and the mercy of God know no bounds. Rather, the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ reaches souls in the most unlikely places.

Undivided
Author: Patricia Raybon
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0529113074
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
“Mom, I have something I need to tell you…” They didn’t talk. Not for ten years. Not about faith anyway. Instead, a mother and daughter tiptoed with pain around the deepest gulf in their lives – the daughter’s choice to leave the church, convert to Islam and become a practicing Muslim. Undivided is a real-time story of healing and understanding with alternating narratives from each as they struggle to learn how to love each other in a whole new way. Although this is certainly a book for mothers and daughters struggling with interfaith tensions , it is equally meaningful for mothers and daughters who feel divided by tensions in general. An important work for parents whose adult children have left the family’s belief system, it will help those same children as they wrestle to better understand their parents. Undivided offers an up close and personal look at the life of an Islamic convert—a young American woman—at a time when attitudes are mixed about Muslims (and Muslim women in particular), but interest in such women is high. For anyone troubled by the broader tensions between Islam and the West, this personal story distills this friction into the context of a family relationship—a journey all the more fascinating. Undivided is a tremendously important book for our time. Will Patricia be able to fully trust in the Christ who “holds all things together?” Will Alana find new hope or new understanding as the conversation gets deeper between them? And can they answer the question that both want desperately to experience, which is “Can we make our torn family whole again?”
