Customer Reviews

Sad that truth in this book goes unreported.

The true problem is that the religion and experiences described in this book are so offensive to some that they attack the author and ignore the truth that the book exposes. I have studied the Quran and teaching since Sept 11th 2001 and find Dr. Caner view to be correct. The interesting lame attack by a man that has most likely even met Dr. Caner tells you more about this book and its validity than anything I can say. In the nature of true disclosure let me state I have met and listen to many sermons from Dr. Caner and find him to be the the light of the earth. I also noticed that the negative reviews of this book were name calling unsubstantiated mumblings of those with nothing informative to say..

Reveals Islam

I am glad someone has finaly written a book that exposes how islam rapes and degrades women. Islamic law says that if a woman refuses to have sex with a man that he is ALLOWED TO BEAT HER!! This book is excellent in pointing out how islam puts women on the level of animals and cattle. I hope we all wake up and see what kind of evil cult is spreading in our country. Will it take another Waco to wake us up?

Fascinating account of what really goes on in Islam

This book was easy to read and very informative. Particularly useful for women who are in a position to reach out to Muslim women and assist them find relief from the tragic ordeal they face under the oppresion of Islam. Muslim culture clearly prohibit any non muslim man from approaching muslim women , so it befalls on non-muslim women to make the approach. Very good book and highly recommended for those who would like to help out those unfortunate veiled muslim women find their way to freedom.

A Very Informative and Powerful Book!!

I had to read this book twice to grasp all the information that it offered on the Islamic religion. The author is a former Muslim so he knows the subject well. His information is timely and very relevant to our world today which teaches many errors about Islam.

Compassionately Accomplishes Its Stated Purpose

With all due respect to the above reviewer from Massachusetts, it seems as though they have not actually read this book. Of course this book is given a particular "bent": it is written by Christian women for Christian women describing the life and situation of Muslim women "through their eyes." And, with that stated purpose in mind, the female authors of VBTV, as well as the editor, do a skillfull job of fulfilling their purpose. They write clearly, compassionately, and reasonably. I would recommend this book to anyone, but particularly to Christian women who are interested in the lives of women within Muslim cultures, societies, and families.
