About this audiobook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 2015 Christian Book Award winner • Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity in this expanded edition with new bonus content and reflections.
"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.
Providing an intimate view into a loving Muslim home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments but not wanting to deny his family, Qureshi struggled with an inner turmoil that will challenge Christians, Muslims, and all those who are interested in two of the world's greatest religions and the quest for truth.
Qureshi--with great courage and intimacy--wrote this book with three major purposes in mind:
- To tear down walls between two of the world's major religions by giving non-Muslim readers an insider's perspective into a Muslim's heart and mind.
- To equip the reader with facts and knowledge, showing the strength of the case for the gospel contrasted with the case for Islam.
- To portray the immense inner struggle of Muslims grappling with the gospel, including all the sacrifices and doubts that rise up along the way.
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus is more than the memoir of a man's pursuit of answers to the most important issues of life and faith. Ultimately, it's the story about the transformative grace and mercy of the one true God.
This edition has been expanded to include:
- A revised foreword and introduction
- A new afterword by apologist Mark Mittelberg and a reflection by Nabeel's wife
- A substantially extended epilogue that shares how Nabeel told his friend David of his decision to follow Christ, how his parents found out, and more
- Expert contributions from scholars and ministry leaders on each section of the book, contributions previously included only in the ebook edition
- An appendix with a topical table of contents (for teaching from Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus)
- An appendix tackling the objection that Ahmadi Muslims--the Islamic movement that Qureshi was raised in--are not true Muslims
- And a sneak peek prologue from Nabeel's book, No God but One: Allah or Jesus?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A truly inspiring story about the most important struggle we have. I couldn't stop listening to this book. May God rest your soul Nabeel ? I am so happy that you received the greatest gift on this Earth, your father's approval ! David will have a huge bright smile waiting for him at the gate. I truly truly loves every second. Nabeel's narrating was so sincere and perfect. Make sure you read or listen to volume 3. The discussions at the end are worth as much as the book itself. You get kinda spoiled getting to listen to them. GBE !!!!!!!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm sorry I only now came upon this book, wish it was years ago. I'm a Christian, working on drawing closer to the trinity. This book as taught me some things I did not know and want to learn more. Thank you to Nabeel for his stubbornness and inquisitive nature. I'm praying to be a deciple too.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I’ve been a Christian my whole life and sadly, had the wrong world view of Muslims. I grew up being told that Muslims want to murder us. While that is true on a small scale, most Muslims believe in peace. This book was so eye opening to me and altered my perspective on Muslims. When I see them when I’m out and about, I no longer have a “fear” of them but a heart of compassion. They are loyal to their god, just like I am to the one and only God. They need Jesus just like every other person… this is a 10/10 book!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really love biographies, but this one is just amazing. It's wonderful see how God uses people even the young ones. A friend was crucial for Nabeel to become a Christian, and from this friendship both were coming more and more close to Christ. I also loved to know more about Muslims culture. This audiobook was indicate by my sister, and it was so nice listen and imagine what was going on on through each part of the author ideas and feelings.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nabeel and the trinity was an emotional moment for me and Nabeel break the news to his parents that he is a Christian. Nabeel is an inspirational human being hand picked by God himself to show the world what faithful man of God looks like. Father God i pray for his family that they might find peace and comfort in your word. Father God i pray this in Jesus name Amen ???

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The author's journey from Islam to Christianity is both complex and riveting. Being Christian myself, his story gave me a much more broad view about what living as a Muslim is like. I highly recommend this and especially the last three chapters after the author's epilogue.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A one of a kind book celebrating the life of a true influencer. Nabeel lived a short but a purposeful life. Hearing the story in his own voice is truly moving. The epilogue and the closure seals the story in your heart for ever. I feel all who seeks the truth should read this exploration of a young man seeking the truth and ultimately finding it and savoring it until his death.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What an amazing testimony! I was nailed to this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a compelling story of God’s beautiful work. I felt so close to Nabeel and David by the end. I was very saddened to learn Nabeel has passed away.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Beautiful book I cried at the end . God is a magnificent God and Nabeels body is healed in the presence of the Lord. Bless him for living such an impactful life all for the kingdom of God. I definitely recommend this book!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a great read for every global Christian today.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The background material on Islam is interesting and I certainly learned from it. The Christian apologetics are lame. You really can't think yourself into Christianity like this. He should challenge himself with more rigorous thinkers at this stage.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing. Thank you Nabeel and David! Loved this book !
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Suggest this book, whether you are a Christian or just someone curious about faith.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was such a great testimony and gave me such a desire to see more Muslim people experience the love of Jesus. It also gave me insight into the culture and the immense pressure that many Muslim’s face. This is truly a story of friendship and unconditional love!!!
