Book Review: Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus

I very highly recommend the book Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi.

This book has increased my respect for Islam. I am impressed by the discipline Muslims have. For example, every day they pray three times. And not just in private either - they are very open about it. It can even be a social thing. I wish rituals like this were more common in Christianity to encourage a more consistent prayer life.

Did Abraham Believe God?

I have been reading Saying No to God by Matthew Korpman. The general thesis of the book seems to be that God invites us to stand up to Him and argue with Him as part of our relationship with Him. I think I generally agree with that viewpoint. However, I’m not yet half way through the book, and after the second chapter I almost stopped reading because of one assertion.
