From Jihad to Jesus : an ex-militant's journey of faith

Personal Author EPSB
Jerry Rassamni

Summary
Jerry Rassamni grew up as militant Muslim fighting against Christians in his 'physical jihad' during the bloody Lebanese Civil War. He writes, "During my time as a militia fighter, I saw the darkness in my own soul and learned firsthand that there was nothing redeeming about humanity. After I came to America and married, my wife insisted I attend church with her. I knew the Bible was false so I went along in order to refute it. During my two years of studying, Christians showed me unconditional love, joy, peace, and compassion; in them I saw the love of God. The Bible convicted me of my sin and convinced me that God is not a God of hate, but of love. Islam uses 99 names for God, but not one of them is 'Love' or 'Father'; it also adopted 700f the Quran from the Bible, yet omitted God's love and grace." This book reveals gripping evidence that led Jerry to abandon Islam and embrace Christ as his Savior.
