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.

“A welcome expansion of the fragile territory known as common ground.” —The New York Times When Reza Aslan’s bestseller Zealot came out in 2013, there was criticism that he hadn’t addressed his Muslim faith while writing the origin story of Christianity. In fact, Ross Douthat of The New York Times wrote that “if Aslan had actually written in defense of the Islamic view of Jesus, that would have been something provocative and new.” Mustafa Akyol’s The Islamic Jesus is that book. The Islamic Jesus reveals startling new truths about Islam in the context of the first Muslims and the early origins of Christianity. Muslims and the first Christians—the Jewish followers of Jesus—saw Jesus as not divine but rather as a prophet and human Messiah and that salvation comes from faith and good works, not merely as faith, as Christians would later emphasize. What Akyol seeks to reveal are how these core beliefs of Jewish Christianity, which got lost in history as a heresy, emerged in a new religion born in 7th Arabia: Islam. Akyol exposes this extraordinary historical connection between Judaism, Jewish Christianity and Islam—a major mystery unexplored by academia. From Jesus’ Jewish followers to the Nazarenes and Ebionites to the Qu’ran’s stories of Mary and Jesus, The Islamic Jesus will reveal links between religions that seem so contrary today. It will also call on Muslims to discover their own Jesus, at a time when they are troubled by their own Pharisees and Zealots.

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.

In the corners of every culture lurk stories of tragedy and triumph. How I Met God from Islam to Jesus describes a captivating story of H. J. Trinitys tumultuous yet courageous journey from Iran to America, and from Islam to Christianity. H. J. Trinity was a Muslim woman born in the heart of the Middle East, who always felt insignificant, empty, and displaced by the strictness of Islam, her unloving family, and a morbid culture. Those negative forces ultimately left her with an aching void that plagued her entire life. One night, due to a personal tragedy that left her emotionally paralyzed, she lost all hope and faith in God. But that same night, her void was filled when she personally met Jesus, who then introduced her to God for the first time. And from that moment on, she continued to water the seed of happiness that God had planted in her heart. Her personal conviction, led by Jesus, propelled her to succeed in staving off all fears deriving from family, religion, and culture. Her philosophy and core beliefs have always been to live for love, health, and wealth. After witnessing many miracles, meeting Jesus face to face, and most importantly, having a direct relationship with God, she was inspired to share those experiences with the rest of the world. How I Met God from Islam to Jesus also shares how she communicates with God directly without following any rituals of religion, culture, or family. You will learn how her new revelation served as her armor against an extremely racist culture, how she was finally able to find peace and harmony through pain and discord, and how she lives her life today.
