Fleeing ISIS, Finding Jesus: The Real Story of God At Work
Craig Borlase, Charles MorrisInternational Trade Paper Edition 2017-01-01
"Is this the end of Christianity in the Middle East?"
When a respected Christian communicator read the question posed by the New York Times, he chose to travel to Jordan and Iraq in search of answers. What he discovered left him amazed and inspired.
While the news coverage of ISIS focuses on the horrors wrought by this group, there is another side to the story that rarely gets told. While terror is on the rise, Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus like never before. Charles Morris regularly reminds the 500,000 listeners of his Haven Today radio show that "it's all about Jesus," and through his new book he offers a unique, compelling account of the miraculous ways in which Jesus is transforming lives in the Middle East today. As Charles narrates his travels around the region, he shares with readers not just the good news of how Jesus is at work, but he also invites us to wonder how our own lives might be transformed as a result.
What people are saying about: FLEEING ISIS, FINDING JESUS
"This book will remind you of the cost of accepting Christ. It will open your eyes to the powerful, miraculous truth of what is really happening in the wake of ISIS today. And it is my prayer that it will leave you inspired to pray harder, to speak louder, and to hold tighter to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself."
- Ken Isaacs, vice president of programs for Samaritan's Purse
"Fleeing ISIS, Finding Jesus is a challenging and thought- provoking book. It poses the question: Is Christianity dying in the Middle East? Through personal stories and interviews in Jordan, Iraq, and Turkey, Charles Morris demonstrates that 'God is at work through the persecution of his people to bring about a greater good.' He has met many Christians whose faith has been lit on fire by the devastating persecution
they faced. By also documenting moving stories of Muslims coming to Christ through dreams and visions, Charles shows there is a move of God happening among Christians and Muslims alike. This book will touch your heart and give you insight into the lives of our persecuted brothers and sisters. It will encourage you and challenge you to pray and to do what you can to be a part of this move of God."
- Paul Filidis, CEO of WorldChristian.com and North American coordinator of 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World
"Fleeing ISIS, Finding Jesus provides a fascinating 'boots on the ground' perspective of how God is on the move, bringing many to faith in Jesus Christ in the midst of the pressures and atrocities of Islamic terrorism. Your heart will be encouraged by the accounts relayed within this exciting narrative. I recommend it most highly!"
- Rev. Mateen Elass, PhD, Islam and New Testament scholar and author of The Teachings of Jesus and Muhammad and Understanding the Koran
"In these days of Muslims coming to faith in Jesus in unprecedented numbers, the church has a vital role to play. We must engage with them through prayer, care, and understanding. Fleeing ISIS, Finding Jesus can help churches do just that. Read it and you will be moved, amazed, and inspired to act."
- Gordon Hickson, national coordinator of Mahabba Network International
"As a Christian living in a 97 percent Muslim country in the Middle East, the pressure on me and my family is enormous. And yet we choose to remain in the land that we love, the land that our ancestors have been passing down to their children since the time of Jesus. This book will let you know why."
