Ostracized. Alone. Disoriented. You’ve left your family, community, and everything you’ve known behind. You may have found a loving church community, but no one really understands what it’s been like. It feels like there are disconnects between what you know about faith and how your fellow Christians seem to understand God. Perhaps other churchgoers speak of a closeness with the Holy Spirit that you can’t seem to connect with. You’re not alone… and the blocks between your Muslim-based thought patterns and Christian theology are very real.
The goal of this book is to help ex-Muslim Christians navigate their faith by recognizing and correcting common misunderstandings imported from an Islamic worldview. Kenza Haddock knows the unique challenges faced by ex-Muslims and emphasizes that relating to God as our Heavenly Father is key to understanding:
*God’s voice vs. “Allah’s voice”
*Prayer vs. ritual
*Our identity in Christ
*How to stand firm in the face of persecution
*What the afterlife looks like for a ChristianThe Ex-Muslim’s Guide to Christianity Answers Common Questions

*How is Jesus different from Mohammed?
*How is God’s character different from Allah’s?
*How do I walk in step with the Holy Spirit?
*How do I deal with relatives who constantly persecute me for my Christian faith?There are dozens of books for evangelism and missionary work, but The Ex-Muslim’s Guide to Christianity speaks straight to ex-Muslims with experienced understanding, deep compassion, and life-saving truths.

Engaging With Mormons
$14.99A former Mormon writes an introduction to what Mormons believe and how Christians can reach out to them with the gospel.
Many people see Mormons as just another branch of the Christian church, and to be admired, perhaps, for their family life, morality and upright culture.
But the theology and spirituality of this cult are very far from an orthodox biblical understanding of true saving faith. And yet Christians are often fearful of engaging in conversations about the gospel with Mormons, knowing that there are suspicions and complex issues that lie beneath the surface.
This short book is designed to help both Christians and whole churches to understand more about the beliefs, mindset and motivations of those who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons), and to reach out to them with the good news of the gospel.
Written at a level that everyone can understand, this book emphasizes the importance of forming loving, honest and open relationships as part of the way we engage with our Mormon friends and neighbors, and with those who may come knocking at our doors.

Unveiled
$14.99I am an ex-terrorist.
I raised my hand high to volunteer to become a jihadi fighter, but then I met Jesus . . .
and that changed everything.Born the unwanted third daughter, Esther Ahmad grew up Muslim in Pakistan. Her faith and country drove every aspect of her first 18 years, from what she wore and what she ate to her prospects for work and marriage, even to the manner of her death.
Unveiled chronicles Esther’s conversion to Christianity and escape from radical Islam. Chapter by chapter, Esther lays out the lies of the Qur’an and holds them against the truths she found in the Bible. As she examines the differences between the Muslim and Christian scriptures, she reveals how she found her true identity as she journeyed from unwanted daughter to cherished child of God, from being marked by impurity to taking on the purity of Christ, and from being enslaved to rote prayer to becoming free in a true relationship with God.
Esther’s white-knuckle journey will open your eyes to the plight of women around the world and inspire you to find the courage you need to speak the hope of Christ into the lives of those who still live behind the veil.

Challenge Of Islam (DVD)
$24.99This two-part Bible study explores the beliefs of Islam and illuminates Muslim religious practice. Guiding the discussion is Sam Shamoun, an Arab-Christian born in Kuwait but raised in the United States. Well-grounded in the doctrines of Islam, he believes in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
In the first study, The Challenge of Islam (Part One): What is Islam?, Shamoun’s narrative casts much-needed light on Islam’s historical development and explains in layman’s terms how this faith is put into action by Muslims today. Throughout this study, he articulates and emphasizes the great hope Christians share in the saving grace of Jesus against the works-based futility inherent in Islam’s message.
In the second study, The Challenge of Islam (Part Two): Defending the Christian Faith, Shamoun reviews key texts from the Qur’an and the Bible, challenges Islamic presuppositions concerning Qur’anic priority, and refutes the notion of the Bible’s supposed textual corruption. Additionally, he clarifies topics such as the Muslim concept of the Trinity; the basis for jihad or “holy war” and its dynamic, three-stage process; and how society might be altered if non-Muslims were subjugated to a world governed by Islam.
This Bible study targets a topic of which Christians everywhere need to be informed. Estimates put Muslim numbers globally at well over one billion, yet their beliefs, religious practices, and social philosophy remain surprisingly unknown-and thoroughly confusing-to many Christians and non-Muslims alike. Informative and engaging, Shamoun’s presentation throughout is centered on the goodness of God’s saving grace through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
Includes a PDF study guide for each part.
