This is an amazing book. I'm so glad I read it. I learned so much about the intellectual issues a Muslim may deal with when learning about Jesus and the Bible. Thank you for sharing it with me.

Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, Nabeel Qureshi's story of his conversion from Islam to Christianity, is an excellent blend of autobiography and apologetics. It is very readable, and a fascinating story. Qureshi went through a very lengthy journey during the course of the book. One of the most powerful takeaways from this book is that long, patient friendships are often far more impactful than just apologetics. Both personal relationships and convincing arguments contributed to Qureshi's story. Not only is this an enjoyable and spiritually challenging read, but it also encourages me and reminds me of the value of years of friendship with and prayers for the unsaved. Although he is in heaven now, I'm very thankful for Nabeel Qureshi's short life and inspiring testimony.

I really enjoyed reading this extraordinary journey from Islam to Christianity and opened my eyes to how it is to not grow up knowing God and Jesus's saving grace. It's an inspiring story how this man went through to find the truth and his struggle with coming to terms with his newfound knowledge and his knowledge of what he thought was truth. It no easy feat changing your beliefs and religion especially when those around believe differently. It can be a scary journey.

Nabeel Qureshi writes an engaging first person journey from Islam to Christianity. I was interested in this because I have some Muslim friends. Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus helped me see not only the intellectual changes that had to take place for him to convert, but also the emotional issues that he struggled with. His whole life had revolved around religion and to change was no small thing. This was very helpful as I love and talk with my friends.

This author is so passionate and sincere in his journey to find God. He was raised Muslim and comes from a loving home environment. I didn't really have much true previous knowledge about Islam so I found the parts describing it very interesting. He is a good Muslim boy growing up and through college. For some time, his best friend is a Christian. They have many discussions about religion over the years. Both are smart. They study historical facts to explain Islam and Christianity. This leads to him switching to Christianity. It's a very difficult decision because he was so devout in his beliefs, and his family is still Muslim.
I thoroughly enjoyed this entire book. I often feel that someone is trying to shove religion at me, but this book takes the reader along on it's logical and educated approach to everything. It speaks to the mind and spirit. It is also respectful. In the beginning, he is Muslim, and before the end, he is Christian, but he doesn't put down the believers of either religion during his research. I recommend Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus to people of all faiths and non-faith.
