From Jihad to Jesus: An Ex-militant's Journey of Faith

By Jerry Rassamni

An Ex-Islamic Militant's Journey of Faith What caused an ex-militant Muslim who fought Christians during the Lebanese Civil War to leave his baggage of hatred behind and learn to love his enemies? Jerry Rassamni's story begins with his "physical Jihad" (physical struggle) against Christians during the bloody Lebanese Civil War. After recounting his gripping early years, the narrative briskly shifts to Jerry's "personal Jihad" (spiritual struggle into enlightenment) as he attempted to refute the Bible. This book reveals the gripping evidence that led Jerry to abandon Islam and embrace Christ as his Lord and Savior. While describing his search for the truth, Jerry exposes the pagan roots of the Muslim god and the feet of clay of its founder, while providing a careful apologetic for Christianity. Jerry shares the evidence that compelled him to abandon Islam and undrapes the "fi ve pillars" to expose the skeletons of Islam: Allah, is he the eternal God of the Bible? The Qur'an, is it the true word of God? The prophet Muhammad, was he a Biblical prophet? Man, is he born in fitrah (pure state)? Ahadith (Muslim customs & beliefs), are they from God?"

From Jihad to Jesus

This is a must read for every American! I am sure that Rassamni has been called by the Lord for such a time as this! He is very clear in all he says, making it easy to see the difference between Islam and Christianity! I urge everyone to read this book! Stanley W. Miller

A great read!

I read this book at the recommendation of a friend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Mr. Rassamni provides an historical view of the development of Islam and the life of Muhammed. This serves as a foundation for a logical and analytical review of the core beliefs and how they compare to Christianity. After finishing the book I have a much better understanding of current events and the disconnect between those who claim Islam is a peaceful religion and the actions of Muslim terrorists. Mr. Rassamni's personal history and journey to Christianity provides credibility to him as an author seeking the truth.

Very Educational

I highly recommend reading this book, no matter what faith, creed, or background. I though all Muslims were terrorists, but after reading this book and talking to the author, I had to change my thinking. Mr. Rassamni is a soft-spoken, very kind, and very genuine person. This book is a must read for anyone.

bringing Islam into the light

I read From Jihad to Jesus with great interest in how Islam compares to Christianity and Judaism. What I found was an in depth explanation of how Islam came to be and how current public perceptions of Islam are inaccurate. This book also describes how the core philospophies of Christ differ greatly from Islamic interpretation of the Bible. This book is coming from a man who was wholly absorbed into Islamic doctrine and came to realize his spirit wasn't fulfilled by the message he was receiving. His testimony is powerful. The logical discussion of the 5 pillars of Islam is supported by true inisghts and spiritual understsanding of the message of Christ and the contrasts this book now brings into the light. I believe this book is very insightful in light of current world issues, for those who want to know the differences.

Interesting book

I enjoyed reading this book very much, and as a non-Muslim I found it very educational. The author relates some very real stories of actual combat with Christians in the Lebanese civil war and what he was thinking at that time. Well worth reading.
