 | Wonderful Testimony of a Muslim Woman Turning to Christianity Mar 19, 2007 |
I first heard of this woman when she was on the 700 Club with Pat Robertson way back in the early 1980's. She was interviewed and told how she came to know Jesus, when God called her to come to Him. She had been the wife of a very important head of state, and she was well known and respected. She kept this part of her life a secret for a very long time as if she was found out they would have killed her. She tells about how God would take her out of body over to america or some other continent to pray for someone that was sick, and the return her later to her body. She was sold out to the Lord, and fell in love with Jesus, as we all must do, and He began to use her to win other souls, and to heal the sick. It is a touching testimony of God's Love for all, and how He longs for all to come to Him. God is Love.
Read this book, and you will be touched by the love of the Father. | | |  | True Account of a Muslim Woman Coming to Christ Feb 14, 2007 |
Bilquis Sheikh was a traditional Muslim woman living in Pakistan during the 1960s. At the age of 52, after discontent with life she began examining the Koran in more depth to try to find greater purpose and hope for life. During her search, she noticed the prophet Jesus mentioned within the Koran and thought perhaps reading more on his teachings would be interesting.
As one who came from a well respected and wealthy family, she had many resources and servants at her beckon. She instructed one of the servants to obtain a Bible for her and began to read it. Though it was in a difficult to understand version of the Urdu language, she became intrigued and had a couple dreams relating to John the Baptist and Jesus. She had not read about John prior to her dreams. The dreams struct her so vividly that she had to learn more and so cautiously approached a local Christian missionary.
Over the next weeks and months, God revealed to her that the Jesus of the Bible was the true message of hope for life. She struggled tremendously with the decision to follow this Jesus of an aberrant religion and the implications of intense persecution/ostracization that she would experience if turning to Christ. However, she was continuously brought back to being at peace when dwelling on the things of the Bible and when she talked with God as if He were her father. She eventually surrendered to God and placed her full faith in Him and the promises of the Bible.
The resulting persecution was very real both emotionally, materially, and socially. However, God grew her faith and continuously taught her and utilized her testimony for His glory throughout the rest of her life. This book provides good insight into Muslim society and the meaning of accepting Christ in that society. Not only is it a good read but also a true story. | | | | God The Father Jan 19, 2007 |
| This was a great book and realy shows the bravery of a new christian and what we must endure,especially with current events and religion clashes in todays society,check out my book also on this matter.Sharper Than A Two Edged Sword by Nadia N.Rehmani,it can be found on here also. | | | | What a fabulous book! Dec 30, 2006 |
I LOVED THIS BOOK! The author had a remarkable experience in the way she came to know Jesus, and the way she describes her ensuing experiences provides many very clear lessons on how to listen to God's voice and to stay in His presence.
The clarity of her descriptions and the spiritual depth of her life have had a lasting effect on me, and I think often of things that she said and described and am able to apply them to my own life. I have given my copy to my son (age 22) and he already has a 'waiting list' for it among his college friends. | | | | Brought Tears to my eyes all the way through Dec 18, 2006 |
The touching way the Lord reached out and chose this muslim was so inspiring and tear jerking. I finished in two late nights, lots of soul searching, tears, prayer... It is a must read, it will help you with your walk, and help you understand the nature of Islam.
