A Torn Veil Upd (Revised) (Revised)

By Thelma Sangster, Gulshan Esther, Sister Gulshan Esther

Book Overview

A true story of freedom and miraculous healing as a Muslim girl finds faith in Christ When Gulshan Esther, a devout Muslim girl, was six months old, typhoid left her a cripple. Her loving father took her from Pakistan to England to find a cure, but the only hope the British specialist could offer was prayer. Gulshan and her father made pilgrimage to Mecca and begged Allah for healing, but it was not until her father's untimely death that Gulshan began to receive an answer. In her grief she wanted to die, but as she called out to God, for the first time in her life she sensed she was being heard. She heard a low, gentle voice say, "I won't let you die. I will keep you alive"I am Jesus, son of Mary." As Gulshan began reading the Quran, her interest in Jesus grew, until one amazing night he appeared to her in her bedroom in a blaze of light. He restored her crippled arm and leg and taught her The Lord's Prayer. He told her to go to his people--now her people--and tell them what he had done. Since that time, and to this day, she has been a joyous, obedient disciple of Christ. The Torn Veil is an amazing story of faith and determination. This moving autobiography was first published in 1984 and has sold over 200,000 copies worldwide.

Customer Reviews

Highly recommended

This is an amazing book and I would recommend it to all Christians, and perhaps more importantly, to anyone else who is open-minded about the claims of the Christian faith. The book describes how a Muslim girl, Gulshan Esther, is miraculously healed of a severe physical disability by Jesus when He appears before her. The book also details Gulshan's rejection by her own family when she becomes a Christian, and her great courage and determination to serve Jesus and tell His people what He did for her. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.For the reviewer below, Susan Mathew, who wanted to know Gulshan Esther's contact details, here is her address and telephone number:

A gift for your Muslim friend

This is a wonderful story of a muslim girl who is miraculously healed from her life long sickness by the special touch of jesus.Rather than rejoicing with her, she was forsaken by all at home. But God through his wonderful ways is using her as a powerful testimony around the world. This is the best gift for a muslim friend of yours.

Torn Veil, Closed Eyes

Torn Veil is a personal story of a daring woman. She has got guts, having the courage to go against an oppressive society to follow what she knows to be true. But I guess it helps a lot when you are healed by Jesus of a lifetime of paralysis. It is a recurring theme that though people, her own family, saw the great miracle happen, they still reject the Healer: closed eyes for fear of what people will think.

A Must Read

This book demonstrates the power of God to change a life. There is no arguing with a personal testimony and that is what this book is. Everyone should read it.

Inspirational!

Torn Veil is one of my all-time favorites! It's a miraculous true story of no-compromise Christian faith! I especially recommend it for those who have a burden for reaching the Muslim world!
