Synopsis

Jesus revealed himself to a young, brash, Pakistani Muslim. But he didn’t just reveal himself; he turned Naeem Fazal’s world upside down.Moving from Kuwait to Charleston, South Carolina, had been an adventure. Surrendering his life to Jesus Christ was actual treason. And yet, Jesus brought Fazal the most powerful peace he had ever experienced: “It filled the room. It grew roots in my heart and in my soul. It intoxicated me.”In this riveting memoir, Fazal describes how God used extraordinary means to bring a young, underachieving, Muslim immigrant through Desert Storm, across the oceans, into college, and ultimately to pastor a Christian church in North Carolina. He demonstrates that no character flaw, no distance, no cultural chasm is too great for Jesus to reach across.Fazal is candid about his shortcomings, practical about the challenges of cross-cultural engagement, and ultimately inspiring that God is capable of far more than we have grown to expect. He says, “Jesus consistently, stubbornly refuses to limit himself to my expectations. Which makes getting to know him an unfolding adventure of epic proportions.”Whether you are a Muslim, Christian, or neither, Ex-Muslim makes a compelling case that life with Jesus Christ is a true adventure.Photos from Naeem’s life are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Goodreads review by BJ on June 07, 2020

In the past year or two, I have read many different testimonies of former Muslims who have embraced Christ. If each person who has done so were to write their own, we would have more than ten million such books with millions more written each year and that number growing exponentially. As another bo......more

Goodreads review by Liz on June 06, 2014

Muslims who convert to Christianity certainly don’t have it easy in certain countries. Often times, they don’t have an easy time in America either. I believe that is one of the things that makes Naeem’s story so empowering. His memoir, ‘Ex-Muslim’ is an autobiographical story of God’s grace & how He......more

Goodreads review by Donn on July 16, 2021

Pretty interesting book. The author is a Pakistani by birth, raised in Kuwait as a Muslim, becoming a Christian due to his older brother’s influence after he came to the US in his late teens. He says he has had encounters with Jesus on a number of occasions, always brief, always profound (duh). He en......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on December 17, 2024

Rating this book is a bit difficult. Of course, any story of someone finding Christ is to be celebrated. I loved reading about how Jesus made himself known to the author. This is, as always, miraculous and beautiful! I did deduct stars because this book is incredibly choppy. His story is shared in bu......more
