There is an emphasis in this book on history, source materials, and reliability of testimony which I am used to seeing applied to Christianity but which becomes riveting when seeing it applied to Islam. I also appreciated the way that Qureshi was careful to explain the differences between what Westernized Muslims teach versus Eastern Muslims. That in itself was an education and helped me see why some explanations of Islamic behavior (peaceful versus ISIS, for example) are so contradictory. If you a believer; especially for those having shakings in their faith; you will be reminded on how God can transform one's life miraculously and why God is more important than anything in your life, even your family or work. Qureshi, Nabeel (2014). Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity. Zondervan. p.286. Qureshi got his M.D. from Eastern Virginia Medical School and held masters degrees in Christian apologetics from Biola University and in religion from Duke University. Other works of Nabeel's include Answering Jihad—a balanced examination of jihad, the rise of ISIS, and Islamic terrorism —and the Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus Video Study, which goes deeper into the apologetics that led Nabeel himself to Christ.

The story is filled with comparisons with flippant events which are easily contradicted. Like the insurance story for example. Nabeel's has presented the story as evidence of the difference in the two religious based cultures of Pakistan and USA, but it could be easily due to the fact that the insurance system is not as prevalent in Pakistan than USA, thereby making it difficult for Pakistanis to understand its intricacies. Yes of course Islam has a large influence in Pakistan but the culture is evolving there as well. if Nabeel wants to date, he might be surprised how easy it is to date in Pakistan now. Qureshi seems to view religion as science. That is, you make a claim, others can make different claims and ultimately, you fight until one is proven true and the others are proven false. In some ways, Qureshi's journey was based on trying to force people to convert to Islam by convincing them their religions are wrong. He then meets David, who is basically doing the same but for Christianity. They discuss, Qureshi manages to bring less proof and therefore, Qureshi converts. And Judaism genuinely doesn't about Paul which is fascinating considering what a role he plays for Christians. Through this book Nabeel gives an insider’s perspective of the Muslim mindset. This is important as I fear that many Christians today may give in to the stereotypical portrayal that all Muslims are terrorists; thus making no real effort to get to know them, care for them much less share their life & the Gospel with them.In Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, now expanded with new bonus content, Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity, complete with friendships, investigations, and supernatural dreams along the way. Throughout the book, the emphasis is that if Islam is true, Christianity is false and visa versa. There's the assumption that it is possible to disprove of a religion through empirical knowledge. This perspective, in my opinion, is both false and dangerous. It's false because come on, if it was possible to prove a religion in such certainty, we'd all be believers already. Religion is cool precisely because it requires faith, it requires accepting that some things cannot be known, that rationalism is not all there is. "My religion might not be true for you" is a thought that should be expressed more often.

The last several chapters leading up to Nabeel’s conversion made me cry! His salvation testimony is so beautiful and miraculous. That God granted Nabeel’s request for three dreams to convince him of the truth of Christianity is a beautiful reminder that God meets us where we are and that He can even use the tools of false religions for His good purposes. What a powerful reminder that He is sovereign even over false religions! February 2021 — Having recently watched "How to Answer the Fool," I found myself wondering how a presuppositional apologist would interact with someone like Nabeel. ISTM that David's evidentialism was really needful in this instance...and his deep, personal, long-term investment in Nabeel as a friend.Nabeel's story is engaging for several reasons. For starters, we read about his admirable upbringing in a very devout Islamic setting; he is raised in an idyllic loving home where he gives insight into the mysterious world of Islam. Most Westerners have no idea what happens within the subculture of transplanted Muslims (Qureshi's family moved to the US from Pakistan) and this glimpse into Nabeel's world is captivating. I found myself more than once infatuated with his homelife as a youth; their devotion to prayer and congregational life was seriously impressive. Secondly, this book is so mesmerizing, because Nabeel is transparent about his wrestling match seeking the truth of Who God is. It's not easy to ask God, "Who are you?" and then to go through the process of analyzing all that you've been taught to believe. 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. I am so excited about this third edition of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus! The incredible team at Zondervan prepared this project for months, one of many ways in which they shon their commitment to keeping the ministry of Nabeel alive. To equip the reader with facts and knowledge, showing the strength of the case for the gospel contrasted with the case for Islam.
