We tend to think people have to be in church to come to know God and His Son, Jesus. This book reminds us of the powerful work of His Holy Spirit and His Word, that They can work where none can hinder. For a woman not accustomed to "church" to begin to seek for the Truth lets us know God is always at work in people's hearts if they will but listen. This book shows what bravery it takes for a women to put away all she has been raised to believe and begin her search for the real Truth. In spite of her fears, she was willing to grasp that Truth, even if it meant her life.

A great read! The author's description of her spiritual journey towards understanding and embracing Christ was fascinating, given that it was the Holy Spirit who initially led her, not a missionary. After reading this book, I have a better appreciation for what is at stake for a Muslim who becomes a Christian. I really enjoyed this testimony by a brave and obedient woman.

This was a short book - it only took me an evening to read - but it was very inspiring. I already knew that Muslims who converted to Christianity were persecuted but I wasn't aware that it was actually stated in the Quaran that honour killings should be made on family members who left Islam for another religion. Bilquis was an extremely strong and faithful woman to continue living in Pakistan despite the threats that were made on her life. It made me really grateful that I live in Britain where, although the government still tries to restrict the rights of Christians, it is nowhere near as dangerous to be a Christian as it is in the middle east. It was also interesting to read about the contrast between Bilquis, who told everyone in her family that she had changed her religion, and her servant who was a "secret Christian." It made me wonder how many other "secret Christians" there are in Pakistan. It did take me a while to get into this book because of the simplistic style in which it was written, but once I'd read a few chapters I was hooked. I'm glad that I read it as it has enlightened me to the risks that Christians in the middle east have to take. The only parts I didn't like about the book were the extra chapters added to the book in the new edition, which were written by one of Bilquis's Christian friends. They really didn't seem to add anything to her story, especially not the one about the differences between Eastern and Western cultures. However, this is just a minor annoyance. Overall, this is a short and simple book about a Musim woman who takes the risk of converting to Christianity and how it changed her life.

Really enjoyed the story of how Bilquis came to know the Lord. She is very clear about how God came to her. The book is easy to read and the epilogue is a great addition.

What a wonderful book!!!! I was almost a Muslim convert, when my Muslim mother in law placed this book in my car. To date, i have no idea as to whether she was trying to get a message across to me or ???? This book led me straight to Jesus. Praise the Lord!

I chose this book for our book club. Given the current political climate and issues we have been dealing with globally, I wanted to understand how the Muslim faith works and how it corresponds with Christianity. This story is very timely and I learned so much. I was also blessed by how this woman faced some serious circumstances and yet kept her faith in God.

this story is absolutely a book for Christians and those who do not yet know Jesus. it is just one example of Muslim-background believers that Christ is drawing out of Islam into a personal relationship with Him. Muslims are giving testimonies all over the world that they are seeing Jesus Christ in dreams and visions, Christ will reach people any way He can, and those of other faiths are not reading the Bible in the beginning because they don't know Him, so Christ comes to them in ways to reach them, then they seek Him and are converted.the Bible teaches that in the last days people will see dreams and visions. Muslims are coming to Christ, that is awesome! let's give Jesus Christ praise and glory for His saving power!

I loved reading this journey of faith. The only problem that I have with the story is that she gives the reader the impression that the Holy Spirit is not a constant presence in our lives or that there are things that we do that causes the Lord to pull away from us. I believe that there are times when we pull away from God, but He never pulls away from us. He may allow us to wallow in our sin, but he is Always the father who is waiting, watching, and running toward us when we return to Him. But once he comes to live with us, He never leaves. He is constant, but we are not.

Wewouts family book club book choice March 31, 2007. This is one book that I would not have chosen. However, after I got into reading, I could not put it down. People ask, "What if someone does not know about the Lord? How will they learn?" I do believe that the Lord will make Himself know to a person. The Lord has used dreams and visions for hundreds of years, and more, to get His message across why not now? Be blessed in the Lord as you read this book. Bilquis Sheikh went to be in the presence of her Lord, April 9, 1997, this is why you don't hear of her now. God's blessings on all who read anything that will bring you into His presence.

Beautiful book. I was simply touched at how she shares her experiences especially the importance of staying in His presence always. It reminds us of the importance to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and doing only what pleases the Lord when she says about how she was seeked out to be in the Glory of God always. Also it is so well illustrated about how temporal the things in the world are and how important it is not to hold on to them. What a blessed book!

This is an awesome testimony of how our loving Lord and Savior reaches out to every searching heart. We are so ignorant as to what He can and will do. I thought it was extremely Biblically based, dreams and all. She calls and surrenders to her Lord Jesus exactly as Romans 10:13 proclaims. Truly the Holy Spirit fills her with springs of living water! Very refreshing and real.
