Muslim by Birth Christian by Choice

Discovering Personal Truth and Identity in Christ

By: Karima Burdette

Narrated by: Terri Rockwell

Three countries, two religions, one story

Muslim by Birth, Christian by Choice is the powerful, true story of Karima Burdette, a woman who defies the odds, surviving abuse and overcoming obstacles throughout her life, giving all the credit to her Savior. From the markets of Morocco to the French countryside and all the way to the United States, her journey inspires hope that with God, all things are possible.

As a beggar living in an abusive home in Morocco, she dreamed of a better life with someone who loved her. Allah seemed too far away to care about one little girl. After moving to France, she thought her life would be perfect; instead, she was confronted with a whole new set of challenges. She never gave up, and eventually made a decision that would change her life forever, giving her the opportunity she'd been wanting her whole life — moving to the U.S.

Her story, though full of tragedy, is one of incredible resilience, perseverance and hope as it shows how God can completely change a person and their trajectory in life to be used for His glory. As you experience Karima's life through her eyes, you can't help but see God's hand, guiding and caring, through every step. It's a story you won't soon forget, and one that will encourage you as you walk through your own valleys.
