Hiding in the Light: Why I Risked Everything to Leave Islam and Follow Jesus

Description: Signed by the Author "After four years of hiding my faith from my family, I knew that it was time. I wrote with shaky hands, 'Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I refuse to deny him....' There was no turning back now. I had to get out of that house if I wanted to live. Was this worth risking everything for? Yes." Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2018Verified PurchaseLoved reading the book, could not put it down. It is a telling story of how people suffer in a religion of rules by a god who is indifferent, detached, and annoyed by humans in contrast to people who's God loves them, delights in mercy, and desires every language, family, and tribe worshiping Him of their own free choosing.I have personally (first hand) seen the effects of what village leaders can have on an otherwise decent, kind man when his son who was not practicing islam decides to become a Christian. the Mosque's leader's threats of "you deal with him or we'll deal with you and him" are not idle words. If the young man in question would have been a female....lets just say the street dog (a stray dog) has more right to life and voice then a female does. sure the Imams may say other words, yet according to the way the islamic faith has/is walked out this is how it is.Do keep in mind that the islamic holy book tells them that they do not have to obey the laws of the land they live in if it contradicts their teachings when they are strong enough in number to over rule the local customs / laws. Therefore I having seen and been told first hand what muslims in Uganda, Kenya, Sudan, Ethiopia do to those who chose another religion... I have ZERO doubts that Rifqa was in certain, immanent danger of being killed in the USA or taken to her home land and killed there had she not fled. (I was living among the people in a small town in Uganda for 9 months)Last thing, one of my grampas was a lot like Rifqa described her father's character. He was very abusive to his family yet everyone outside of the family thought he was a kind and caring men who'd make you an amazing deal on ______ (whatever he was selling that day/week). Grampa could go from RAGING to calm sweet smile in 10 seconds flat or go from smiles to RAGING in 5 seconds. Thankfully my gramma found a Bible and prayed in some Bible teachers, all of the aunts and uncles are very descent, honest humans.
