Rating:  Summary: God is so amazing! Review: This was one of the most inspiring books I have read in a very long time! It is so wonderful that one person can be so committed to doing what she knows is right, however wrong it may seem to others around her. Bequilis becomes a very dedicated Christian, which is enough to make any Christian take a very long and hard look at whether they are indeed following God's will for their lives. The fact that this is a true story made me very aware that our God is a living God who will guide and answer us in all we do and ask.
Rating:  Summary: So inspiring! Review: Very easy to read, so it goes quickly. I felt so inspired and long to feel God's Presence as Bilquis did. Too bad I didn't read it years ago and then contact her!
Rating:  Summary: This book will make you cry ... for joy. Review: When I first read this book I couldn't stop reading it for I was caught up by the events that took place in Bilquis's life that would later bring her into the only faith that allowed her to call God "Father". Living in a Muslim country I dare confirm the persecutions faced by Bilquis in her book are true. We have the same persecutions happening at where I'm from. From using white Muslims as freaks to convice the potential "apostates" that even white "Christians" embrace Islam to issuing death threats in scaring the new converts to denounce their new found faith. It is not easy for a Muslim to convert to Christianity in a Muslim nation. They will lose everything (family, possesions, nationality, etc.) sometimes even their lives. The sad thing is most Muslims still believe that their faith is tolerant thus denying stories like Bilquis's as fiction. Therefore to convince these Muslims they should try and convert to Christianity and see what happens to them. Such stubborn ignorance prevents them from seeing the Truth thus it is a miracle for them to convert to Christianity. Stories like Bilquis's are an inspiration to us that God's miracles do happen. And yes I cried at every incident that brought her closer to calling God "Father". Romans 8: 14-17 "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him."
