Publisher's summary

One night changed everything. On September 11, 2001, young Ahmed watched his cousins and tribesmen murder nearly 3,000 infidels in the name of Allah, the god of Islam. As he filled the Saudi Arabian sky with bullets and triumphant shouts of "Allahu Akbar"! (Allah is the greatest), this son of a Meccan Mufti made a pledge to follow in his family’s footsteps, to bring swift retribution upon the unbelievers through jihad, and so buy his way into paradise. One night changed all of that.

On the Ramadan Night of Destiny, his doors were suddenly flung open and a blinding light stepped forth, calling, “Come to me!” Believing he had seen Satan, Ahmed went searching for answers and soon found the true, living God: Jesus Christ. But the darkness poisoning his homeland is great, and Ahmed quickly found that the cross of Christ is a crosshair marking him for death. Now on the run across the world, Ahmed must outsmart unfriendly eyes and dodge bullets - but, no matter what happens, he will never renounce his Savior or close his lips from preaching the Gospel...even if it costs him his life.

Powerful story of a Saudi encountering Jesus and then following Him.

This true account of Dr.Ahmed Joktan coming to meet Jesus caused him to rethink his beliefs as a Saudi Muslim. After believing in Jesus he has a series of challenging circumstances just as Jesus had warned those who follow him will face.

A must read... Understanding Islam

A page turner to be sure! An enlightening story about the hidden truth of Islam. Strange that this is covered over with a veil... A book that brings light to the darkness. Eye opening!

A must read

This ineradicable story is captivating and fascinating. As I personally know Ahmed, I can also attest to the truth behind the words.
