Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus

Third Edition with Bonus Content, New Reflections

By: Nabeel Qureshi, Lee Strobel - introduction

Narrated by: Nabeel Qureshi, Michelle Qureshi, Mark Mittelberg, Lee Strobel

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 2015 Christian Book Award winner • Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity in this expanded edition with new bonus content and reflections.

"My friend Nabeel Qureshi was courageous enough to chase down the truth with intellectual integrity, no matter the personal cost," --Lee Strobel, bestselling author of The Case for Christ.

Providing an intimate view into a loving Muslim home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments but not wanting to deny his family, Qureshi struggled with an inner turmoil that will challenge Christians, Muslims, and all those who are interested in two of the world's greatest religions and the quest for truth.

Qureshi--with great courage and intimacy--wrote this book with three major purposes in mind:

• To tear down walls between two of the world's major religions by giving non-Muslim readers an insider's perspective into a Muslim's heart and mind.
• To equip the reader with facts and knowledge, showing the strength of the case for the gospel contrasted with the case for Islam.
• To portray the immense inner struggle of Muslims grappling with the gospel, including all the sacrifices and doubts that rise up along the way.

Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus is more than the memoir of a man's pursuit of answers to the most important issues of life and faith. Ultimately, it's the story about the transformative grace and mercy of the one true God.

This edition has been expanded to include:

• A revised foreword and introduction
• A new afterword by apologist Mark Mittelberg and a reflection by Nabeel's wife
• A substantially extended epilogue that shares how Nabeel told his friend David of his decision to follow Christ, how his parents found out, and more
• Expert contributions from scholars and ministry leaders on each section of the book, contributions previously included only in the ebook edition
• An appendix with a topical table of contents (for teaching from Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus)
• An appendix tackling the objection that Ahmadi Muslims--the Islamic movement that Qureshi was raised in--are not true Muslims
• And a sneak peek prologue from Nabeel's book, No God but One: Allah or Jesus?

A MUSLIM’S JOURNEY TO JESUS

I will admit at the beginning I have a bias. I am a staunch believer in Jesus and that He is God. I am composing this from a Christian worldview so naturally this book appealed to me. This is the story of two young men Nabeel Qureshi and David Wood.They were college classmates and good friends.Nabeel being a Muslim and David being a Christian challenged each other in regard to their separate faiths. As you might expect one used the Bible and the other used the Qur’an and surprisingly to me Nabeel would also use the Bible in defense of his Muslim faith. These were educated young men so they had another tool in their toolbox that they brought out in their friendly debates in their search for truth and that is the cultivated skill of critical thinking. David used this skill more so in the beginning Nabeel tries to explain to us his listeners the vast difference between eastern and western thought and how the eastern individual would present their argument Nabeel quickly became adept in the art of western critical thinking. They had their share of heated arguments as you might expect but most of the time it seems they enjoyed these talks. It is a lesson for Christians to learn that many times to be an effective witness you must develop a relationship with the people we are trying to reach,
On his journey to faith in Jesus one of the issues Nabeel was having with the Christian faith was the fundamental doctrine of the Trinity. Let me say this both faiths believe in one God..The Christian faith also believes in one God ,three separate but co equal persons the same in essence ,God The Father,God The Son, God The Holy Spirit. To Nabeel this was blasphemy.For him it was simple Allah was God and Mohammed was his prophet. How could his good friend David believe such a thing. One day both young men were sitting in class hearing about science on the sub atomic level. I must confess here I could not grasp what the author Qureshi was trying to convey here as far as the science was concerned but for him something in his brain clicked. If the process, nature etc.. (Whatever it was),is proven to work like this on a sub atomic level it began to open his mind to the possibility of a Triune God.Just a personal word if I may.I hope skeptics who doubt the existence of God listen to this portion of the book with an open mind.
For Nabeel his search for truth continued. His critical thinking and his friend David’s apologetics led him to make the courageous decision to give his life to Jesus as his Lord and Savior It should be noted that Qureshi’s research reveals some very disturbing things about the life of Mohammed.and his followers.We dare not turn ourselves away from historical truth. There is a belief that Christians hold ,Romans 3 verse23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”Men or woman no matter who we are need a Savior. Jesus The Christ because we are all sinners and need God’s forgiveness . Jesus said,”No one comes to the Father but by me.” If we repent of our sins He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us according to the Bible.The word repent means to turn away from our sins .We must give our lives to Jesus The Bible says we become His and have life with Him forever or as the Bible calls it abundant life. This is what Nabeel Qureshi preached and believed along with his friend David Wood who also believes this. I urge everyone to listen to this book.

Amazing story

I could not stop listening! AMAZING testimony and amazing presentation!! Get this book- you will not regret it.

What an amazing journey to faith in Christ.

I didnt have to give anything up when I came to Christ, in fact my entire family rejoiced with me in my decision to ask Jesus to be Lord of my life. I have lived my life with that peace, having my family around me. Nabeel's agony of giving up his family to follow Christ is moving to say the least, his dedication and charisma for preaching the Gospel was bolstered by the price he had to pay for making that decision. I can't decide if I'm glad I didn't have to make that choice or convicted that my salvation hasn't emboldened me to do the same with his zeal for the Truth. In any case his story moved me to weep for him many times and the love of our Father for His children has washed over me again. Thank you Father for your faithfulness to those who seek to know you.

Amazing story and content!

I will listen to this audio book again. I am looking forward to other booked by this author.

Passionate intelligent book

I love the passion with which Nabeel describes his journey from a devout Muslim to an Evangelistic Christian. His love for his Islamic faith and family really helped me see how to better relate to other Muslims whom I would like to know as my friends.
