Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity

By Nabeel Qureshi

Book Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - 2015 Christian Book Award winner - Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity in this expanded edition with new bonus content and reflections.

"My friend Nabeel Qureshi was courageous enough to chase down the truth with intellectual integrity, no matter the personal cost," --Lee Strobel, bestselling author of The Case for Christ.

Providing an intimate view 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 two of the world's greatest religions and the quest for truth.

Qureshi--with great courage and intimacy--wrote this book with three major purposes in mind:

To tear down walls between two of the world's major religions by giving non-Muslim readers an insider's perspective into a Muslim's heart and mind.To equip the reader with facts and knowledge, showing the strength of the case for the gospel contrasted with the case for Islam.To portray the immense inner struggle of Muslims grappling with the gospel, including all the sacrifices and doubts that rise up along the way.

Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus is more than the memoir of a man's pursuit of answers to the most important issues of life and faith. Ultimately, it's the story about the transformative grace and mercy of the one true God.

This edition has been expanded to include:

A revised foreword and introductionA new afterword by apologist Mark Mittelberg and a reflection by Nabeel's wifeA substantially extended epilogue that shares how Nabeel told his friend David of his decision to follow Christ, how his parents found out, and moreExpert contributions from scholars and ministry leaders on each section of the book, contributions previously included only in the ebook editionAn appendix with a topical table of contents (for teaching from Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus)An appendix tackling the objection that Ahmadi Muslims--the Islamic movement that Qureshi was raised in--are not true MuslimsAnd a sneak peek prologue from Nabeel's book, No God but One: Allah or Jesus?

Customer Reviews

An honest and candid account of finding the Messiah.

An honest and informative account of what it's like to grow up as a son of Islam. Thank you Nabeel for sharing your life and thoughts and your ultimate sacrifice. God bless you and yours and see you in heaven brother.

A fascinating and informative discussion about his personal pilgrimage to faith in "the Way, the Truth, and the Life." Should be recommended reading for all followers of Islam, not the least good reason being he shows the cost of his discovery as far as his family and community, and how he dealt with how they reacted. 5 stars.

Nabeel Qureshi tells a story that makes me feel like a fly on the wall in his life. I am so impressed and thankful for his courage to live his life like he does and also to tell his story that could very well bring him harm. He should be an inspiration to all that live in repressed societies that they too can enjoy the taste of true freedom. God bless you Nabeel.
