From Jihad to Jesus by Jerry Rassamni
Jerry Rassamni was a militant Muslim who hated Christians and warred against them. From Jihad to Jesus will take you on Jerry's personal journey as he is transformed by the hand of God from a militant during the Lebanese Civil War. After recounting his physical jihad (struggle) against Christians, the narrative briskly shifts to Jerry's spiritual jihad (struggle) into enlightenment as he attempted to refute the Bible. This book reveals gripping evidence that led Jerry to abandon Islam and embrace Christ as his Savior. ($15.00. Paperback, 240 pages)

The Myth of Islamic Tolerance edited by Robert Spencer
This collection of articles sets out to debunk the theory that Islam is the tolerant religion that many claim it to be.

Anyone concerned about the dangers of politically motivated distortions of Islamic theology and history should not miss this explosive and enlightening volume. ($30.00. Hardcover, 593 pages)
