Excellent insight into God's grace from a Christian turned Muslim, who is saved from the fatalistic Jihad mindset. Gain insight into the Muslim mind as well as God enabling Christians to prevail despite all odds. As a researcher and author about Islam, get "Spirit of Martyrdom"¯.

I have several books relating to the Muslims' perspective on God, but something set your book apart from the rest. Your book went beyond "information" relating to Muslims & their religion, but also brought forth their heart & the sacrifices they make--even unto death-- when turning to Yeshua (Isa, Jesus). Americans can't truly relate to the heart of Yeshua's words when he said, "Blessed are those who are persecuted." In general, as a nation, we have mistaken our "wants" as "needs." I appreciated that you brought out what Godly persecution is, & the joy it truly is going through fire, as this draws us closer to our Abba! I also appreciated that you brought out that Muslims are living breathing people (our beloved cousins)...not the enemy.

My husband and I listened to all 4 CDs of this book on our way home from Arizona, and we were riveted! We found that if we happened to miss something, we backed up and listened to it again to make sure we got every morsel. We learned so much about Islam and how to love the Muslims into believing in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, not to mention how they tick. The testimonies also really helped make it real to us. Our prayer is that this book becomes a best seller and brings a lot of glory, as well as souls, to the true and living God! Thank you!

I enjoyed this very insightful book. It clearly shows the teachings and motivation of Muslims and how Christians have the victory through Christ's love. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to understand what is happening in our world today or even reach out to a Muslim neighbor. This book changed my understanding of Christ's command to "love your enemies and do good to those who hurt you."

I know Mujahid El Masih personally, what a great man for our Lord Jesus Christ! Keep spreading the word Mujahid El Masih! Thanks for coming to Holmes County Ohio here on November 2nd and 3rd of 2011. We were truly blessed!

Truly God inspired! Only walking with God and allowing Him to take you where he needs you can you put together such a great book. It got me back on track of where God wants me and where I need to be. Great for Christians, Muslims, non-believers and every other one of Gods children.


Nancy Malik 2009-09-29

I have been waiting for someone to tell us what we need to know to love the Muslims. Thanks you two for telling it like it is for us as overcoming believers!! Nancy Malik 2009-09-29

Praise GOD that he put this on your heart....this book is AMAZING and i believe that it was inspired by GOD through you...To GOD be the praise and glory!


Michael W Banks 2008-10-21

The two most compelling parts of the book for me were that ALL christians, not just our brothers who live under severe persecution, but all of us are called to live a life of martyrdom and that all of us should glorify Christ in our death. The Islamic issues were handled with love and respect, and the stories will make you stop and wonder why we sometimes do not fill included in the "all who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." You will do some soul searching after listening to this book. That is a very good thing! I will purchase may copies of the written book when it comes out. This message needs to be circulated far and wide.


Lisa Krauter 2008-06-23

This book is very powerful on a number of levels. It is a testimony to the glorious and miraculous work of Christ in and through His people, as well as a challenge to break free from the trap of "comfortable Christianity". You can't listen to it and then stay the same in your Christian walk. Thank you for your heart to reach-out to Muslims and for showing us how we may also reach-out in an effective and respectful manner. May God bless your ministry!


Debbie N. 2010-05-10

Well worth reading for every Christian. I had NO idea that we were under such a deliberate attack from Muslims, and that it was actually commanded in the Quran. It gave me so much more compassion for persecuted believers who were former Muslims and why they face such opposition. Wake up America! Persecution is coming our way too! Muslims need freedom in Christ more than ever.


Tammi Engle 2007-11-15

Through your writing, your witness and your life, you continually encourage and remind believers to love, to trust our Father, and to not forget that we are aliens and Jesus glorified is what our lives are about. Thank you!


Joe Dan 2010-03-10

"Fearless Love" is easy to read, easy to understand but hard to put down. Muslim thought, teaching and practice, previously a deep mystery to me, is explained in short, easy to read chapters. The experiences of living martyrs are inspiring and humbling. Examples are given of how a loving God is actively engaged in seeking the lost in ways that many in the West consider obsolete, outdated or a part of the past. (Hebrews 13:8). No longer will I attempt to avoid contact with Muslims or any other ethnic group. Perhaps the Lord will use me to show His love.


Kaitlyn 2008-03-05

This is a totally inspiring book!!! Five stars!!! The storys are great and the music gets you right into the book!


Susan 2009-12-08

Loved the audio book so much couldn\'t wait to have the hardcopy version. The prayer group I lead is in the middle of studying the book, "Fearless Love". I encouraged them to get the book and we would being studying it. They are all glad I did keep at them to get the book and do the study. They are really enjoying it. We do one chapter a month during our meetings and discuss questions that I pick for them to review while they are reading. For example, we will do Part 4 in January and I have already given them the 5-6 questions from the review of part 4 so they will be prepared for the discussion. Some new people have joined the group and are in the process of ordering their book. Thank you so much for this book and your ministry to the persecuted church.


Sara Rapp 2007-11-13

This book is very timely. And the writing style is easy to read. I pray this book will have a wide distribution.


Robin 2010-12-05

This book says Press on! The message is clear.


Brock 2009-03-22

In law enforcement, I am often asked what the solution is to terrorism. I found that David's book hits the nail on the head. My personal belief is that Muslims coming to Jesus is the only real solution. This book serves as an innovative and accurate primer on Islam, and gives tangible witnessing steps for Believers when conversing with Muslims. Spirit of Martyrdom is a ministry serving the Truth in a dangerous and confusing world.


Kim Sturgeon 2011-03-07

I am writing this after having read "fearless love". I have a niece that married a Muslim and has 3 children with him. I had avoided them mostly out of fear. Since reading this book I have been praying for them. My niece just recently divorced her husband and this book has helped me understand all that means. Now she is always in my prayers. Thanks for writing such a needed book. Kim

I just finished listening to the audio CD of the book: "The Spirit of Martyrdom". This book was a surprise; I have read and heard a great deal on the nature of Islam, and the doctrinal differences between Islam and Christianity. However, this book contained a lot of new information regarding the differences between the two faiths, as well as true stories of Islamic believers who had a a real encounter with the living presence of Jesus, through the Holy Spirit. The lives of these believers spoke volumes of the transforming power of God, as they became fearless and full of the love of God for their fellows still without hope and comfort. The challenge given by the authors to live as well as be unafraid to die (if need be), for the sake of those who need to see the love of God as a reality was given very effectively. I heartily recommend this book! An insightful resource for those looking to understand the subject more deeply.

Clear, comprehensive, concise. Good pick for busy, non-theological people.

There are a lot of books giving a Christian view of Islam on the market today. What makes this book unique is its comprehensiveness. If you're looking for just one quick book to read on the Christian response to Islam, this is an excellent pick. The book includes the history of Muhammad and the founding of Islam, what modern Muslims believe, why dying in jihad is attractive to Muslims, real stories of Muslims who have converted to Christianity, etc. It includes a very interesting comparison of the Muslim and Christian definitions of martyrdom. Then it concludes with a practical summary of ways Christians can share the love of Jesus with Muslims. The love of both authors for Muslims shines through clearly.

The audio quality is excellent, with a clear-voiced reader, with music and short segments recorded by both authors to prevent monotony.

I just finished listening to the audio book yesterday morning on my way to work. The most encouraging thing that spoke to my heart was your testimony of becoming a fearless believer motivated by love. . I was impressed by the miraculous account you gave of you seeing the Lord in bright light. I was impressed by Mujahid's testimony of the miraculous in his life with his answered prayer of physical healing for those that he would pray for. You and Mujahid both speak from the heart very well. I like the way Mujahid expresses himself. He has a strong accent, but I'm able to understand what he is saying.

One thought that I came away with is that I need to increase the level of my commitment to prayer and Bible reading. I have lived a life of relative ease and comfort. The experience that you and Mujahid have with Christianity is so much deeper than my own. I remember praying and fasting at least 15 years ago. I came away from it disappointed that I did not have a deeper experience with God. Since then I have been very resistant to trying it again. I feel like there are distractions that lead me away from going into deep and pleading intercessory prayer. I'd better not make this too long for you. Anyways, I need to make some changes. I need to be a good leader in my home. I will share the audio book with my pastor. His perspective is that being lead by the spirit of God is solely reading the word of God. He doesn't believe in relying on impressions from the Holy Spirit in supernatural ways. He doesn't believe that supernatural experiences are normative for our time, just for the apostles and prophets of the new testament. It will be interesting to see what his response is to the audio book.


Jule Firestone 2008-02-19

Greetings David and Muhjahid, Just finished the audio book and was very enlightened by the contrast. Thank you for writing and bringing light and truth to this area of confusion. There are many that I know that are confused by this practice, and will understand it more after they hear this testimony! Thank you so much! May your message set many free to glorify our KING!


Montie Fortkamp 2007-12-05

Wow! What an eye opener, the difference of Christian martyrdom verses Islamic martyrdom described was profound. This in my mind makes the case for the "heart" of each religion, they could not be more diametrically opposed. This makes me even more grateful for Christ work on the cross! What a gift of love and mercy to mankind. I have a greater understanding and love for Muslims after listening to this book. I look forward to meeting Muslims and showing Christ love for them through the many practical ways described in the book.

Blessings on you all for this labor of love

Teaching over the book, Fearless Love, was an educating experience. I am glad to share this feedback with you. I hope you will find this beneficial. It is true; the one who teaches learns the most. This I feel is where we sadly find the state of the American church. It is my belief that we as a culture, as American Christians, we have paid more of our attention to building our marriages, being better parents, honoring God in our finances and in our lifestyles. These things in of themselves are not evil, but I believe we have allowed these aspects to take us away from other areas of the Christian life. Principles like service and sacrifice, and loving our enemies. And honoring the lordship of Jesus Christ. Being aware of the role of angels in our lives, and being alert to the demonic forces who fight against us. I feel we have forgotten that we have been bought at a price; we can become so consumed in how God can enrich our "Christian experience" right here right now that we forget that we are subject to Him. We can't enjoy God in the adventure He has for us because we can't get out of our comfort zones (Matthew 13:3-9). What does this mean? What does this say? To me, this says that Fearless Love is a mature and relevant book. It is intended for mature readers, but this also means that it is a book that can spur maturity in younger Christians. But they must beware; Fearless Love is a book that will cause them to face their fears. They must see God's powerful love as mightier than their fears. I know for myself, the book has caused me to open my heart to the Muslim world. Since reading the book I have also read the Koran and I pray for the Muslim world on a regular basis. I have a desire to share the Gospel with Muslims and I desire to educate and inform Christians how to share the Gospel also. I am considering looking into teaching from the book, Glad News! God Loves You My Muslim Friend by Samy Tanagho. It looks like it may be a useful book to go through. In going through Fearless Love in a small group, I feel the class found the book easy to read through, it is very user friendly, and the group appreciated the life applications and meditations at the end of every chapter. The small group questions were excellent conversation starters and they got the people in the class to share their insights and concerns.

I've read and digested your new sacred book Frearless love, obviously, its quite fascinating and encouraging.


Dave Reed 2008-01-17

The book is awesome, and meaty. I may have to listen to it several times to absorb it all.


Susan 2009-06-13

It was such a great audio book that I bought \"Fearless Love\" when it was released. comments: I have really enjoyed reading \"Fearless Love\". I bought a copy for me and a friend of mine. She is enjoying the book as well.

I lead a persecuted prayer group and have shown the book to them. In the fall, we will go through the book, one section each month. At our monthly meetings we will use the discussion questions. Thanks again for all your hard work and effort that went into the audio tapes and the book.


Douglas 2008-08-08

This book is a must! It gives the testimony of a man who was once a Muslim, and now is a Christian. This man went from hate to real love, a love that transcends all human understanding through the power of the Holy Spirit living inside every believer in Christ.

In a world filled with hate, only Jesus Christ can bring faith, hope, and love to a lost and dying world!

Listen to the CD, or read the book coming out soon. You'll want to learn all you can not only about Islam, but also about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

for Christ's glory, Douglas


Susan Martin VR#225 2008-02-27

I really enjoyed listening to the audio CD of your book. The testimony of Muhjahid was very inspiring on how the Lord uses things in our lives for His purposes. I have loaned the CD's to two people in my church. The three of us are on a Muslim Task Force due to Don McCurry mentioning it when he came to my church. Our church is one of his supporters. I really enjoyed chapter 7 with all the ideas of how to reach Muslims. I took down the list of ideas and are sharing them with the 2 other people on the task force. Thank you for all your hard work and your commitment to seeing Muslims come to Christ.


lisa bogle 2010-03-03

sometimes the reality of what is going on around the world is hard to accept, but thank the od almighty for people such as yourselfs who sacrifice so much for people who are less priviledge to gain the knowlwdge of how great and loving our God is in everything he does


Katie 2010-03-28

This book opened my eyes to a whole different approach to understanding the persecuted church and my own approach to Muslims. Before this all I knew was fear and what I read/studied about Islam was purely educational. This book is practical and reaches into the depths of your heart. I am so thankful for how God has used and will continue to use it in my life.


Tom White 2008-01-22

Foreword by Tom White: We appreciate David and Mujahid’s energy, zeal and heart for the persecuted church. You will find that reflected in this work, which contrasts Biblical martyrdom with Islamic martyrdom. Utilizing verses from the Bible and the Qur’an, this series includes powerful personal testimonies from former Muslims who are now living their lives for Christ. Done with respect, honesty and authority, the series is informative for Christians, as well as a very honorable appeal to Muslims to seek Jesus. The Spirit of Martyrdom could be used to share with a Muslim, as an apologetics tool for Christians or to gain prayer material when praying for Muslims. I wish David and Mujahid well in their desire to awaken and alert the Body of Christ with this work. Tom White Executive Director The Voice of the Martyrs


Paul G 2008-05-19

Understanding the Islamic worldview is critical to prayer and fellowship with muslims. This CD set illustrates that even the jihadist can be freed from fear and find confidence of eternal life as a love gift from God almighty.
