BOOK - SEEKING ALLAH, FINDING JESUS INSTRUCTIONS
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus provides insights into some issues related to interacting with the Arab and Islamic populations. In this book, the author, Nabeel Qureshi, describes growing up in a devout Islamic family. With his assurance in Islam intact, he is slowly introduced to Christianity as a result of some contemplative discussions with friends. The journey-and the journey's end-is aptly described in this book.
