bonus content, Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey
from Islam to Christianity, complete with friendships,
investigations, and supernatural dreams along the
way.Providing an intimate window into a loving Muslim
home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion
for Islam before discovering, almost against
his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and
claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments but not
wanting to deny his family, Qureshi struggled with an
inner turmoil that will challenge Christians, Muslims, and
all those who are interested in the world’s greatest
religions.Engaging and thought-provoking,
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus tells a
powerful story of the clash between Islam
and Christianity in one man’s heart?and of
the peace he eventually found in Jesus.
"I have seldom seen such genuine intellect combined with
passion to match ... truly a 'must-read' book."—
Ravi Zacharias** Dr. Qureshi’s book Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus
offers the fascinating story of the conversion of a sincere
young Ahmadiyya man who tried his best to seek Allah and
eventually fell in love with Christ. I trust that this book
can be a powerful encouragement for all Christians to pray
for many Muslims to find Jesus Christ. -- Mark Gabriel, ,
Author and former lecturer, University of Cairo Fresh, striking, highly illuminating, and sometimes
heartbreaking, Qureshi’s story is worth a thousand
textbooks. It should be read by Muslims and all who care
deeply about our Muslim friends and fellow-citizens. -- Dr.
Os Guinness, , Author and social critic Nabeel Qureshi’s story is among the most unique two
or three testimonies that I have ever heard. Add to this the
fact that I knew Nabeel quite well while he was still a
Muslim, having visited with and spoken to him several times
during his search for the one true God. His quest brought
together several exceptional features: a very bright mind,
extraordinary sincerity, original research, and a willingness
to follow the evidence trail wherever it took him. His search
led to the cross and to Jesus Christ, who was resurrected
from the dead. -- Gary R. Habermas, , Distinguished Research
Professor, Liberty University Nabeel describes the yearning in the hearts of millions of
Muslims around the world. This book is a must-read for all
seeking to share the hope of Christ with Muslims. -- Fouad
Masri, , President and CEO, Crescent Project This book gives westerners a glimpse of the richness of
family and love in a devout Muslim home; it is an enviable
picture of respect, devotion, and society. But Christians and
Muslims alike are told stories about their religions when
they are young, while few have ever personally researched the
writings of their founding fathers to assess the validity
that undergirds their respective faiths. In his personal
quest to know the truth, Nabeel Qureshi paves the way for an
analytical study of the faiths, dissecting the Christian and
Islamic arguments, specifically citing numerous Islamic
hadith and early Christian texts, so that the reader can see
a logical progression to the analyses. But it is also a
deeply personal heart-wrenching and tear-evoking saga of the
life of a young Muslim growing up in the West, a gripping
biography that is impossible to put down. In the end, many
people of faith will agree: Nabeel Qureshi needs our prayers.
God bless this young man for his boldness, and we pray for
his protection. -- James M. Tour, , Professor of Chemistry,
Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Rice University For anyone seeking understanding of their Muslim neighbors
or colleagues, this is a book to read. We go on a journey
from the inside out. We are introduced to the depth of
spirituality, the love and honor of family, and the way a
person “sees” and “feels” in a devout
Muslim home. This is profound book that skillfully shows the
core differences between the gospel and Islamic claims. I
highly recommend it. -- Dr. Stuart McAllister, , Regional
Director The Americas, Ravi Zacharias International
Ministries Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus is an urgently needed book
with a gripping story. It reaches both East and West,
teaching Christians about Islam from an insider’s
perspective and helping Muslims understand the love and truth
of Jesus. Nabeel Qureshi masterfully argues for the Gospel
while painting a beautiful portrait of Muslim families and
heritage, avoiding the fear-mongering and finger-pointing
that are all too pervasive in today’s sensationalist
world. I unreservedly recommend this book to all. ---It will
feed your heart and mind, while keeping your fingers turning
the page! -- Josh McDowell, , Author and Speaker Nabeel Qureshi is a medical doctor by training with two
master’s degrees in biblical studies and further
academic work on the horizon. He first began to study the
Bible in order to challenge it and, incredibly, came to know
Jesus as a result. In my many travels, I have seldom seen
such genuine intellect combined matched with passion. I am
thrilled to see his unique and gripping story in print and
know that you will be encouraged and profoundly challenged by
it as well. This is truly a “must-read book” for
our times, as diverse worldviews each must face the test of
truth. -- Ravi Zacharias, , Author and Speaker Nabeel Qureshi is a speaker with Ravi Zacharias
International Ministries. He holds an MD from Eastern
Virginia Medical School, an MA in Christian apologetics from
Biola University, and an MA in religion from Duke
University. Review
