If you’ve left Islam for a new life in Christ, this guide will help you thrive amidst challenges, avoid common pitfalls, learn how to respond to family, and so much more. Learn to: Distinguish between God’s voice and Allah’s voice (and how to follow the Holy Spirit) Switch from a works-based lifestyle to joyful salvation and freedom Reap amazing benefits from Christian disciplines (prayer, worship, charity, etc.) Refresh & nourish yourself using Christian disciplines (prayer, worship, charity, etc.) And more! Who is The Ex-Muslim’s Guide to Christianity for? Ostracized. Alone. Disoriented. You’ve left your family, community, and everything you’ve known behind. You may have found a loving church community, but no one really understands what it’s been like. It feels like there are disconnects between what you know about faith and how your fellow Christians seem to understand God. Perhaps other churchgoers speak of a closeness with the Holy Spirit that you can’t seem to connect with. You’re not alone… and the blocks between your Muslim-based thought patterns and Christian theology are very real. The goal of this book is to help ex-Muslim Christians navigate their faith by recognizing and correcting common misunderstandings imported from an Islamic worldview. Kenza Haddock knows the unique challenges faced by ex-Muslims and emphasizes that relating to God as our Heavenly Father is key to understanding: God’s voice vs. “Allah’s voice” Prayer vs. ritual Our identity in Christ How to stand firm in the face of persecution What the afterlife looks like for a Christian The Ex-Muslim’s Guide to Christianity Answers Common Questions The Ex-Muslim’s Guide to Christianity addresses the most common questions ex-Muslims wrestle with (and may be afraid to ask) as they begin to follow Christ: How is Jesus different from Mohammed? How is God’s character different from Allah’s? How do I walk in step with the Holy Spirit? How do I deal with relatives who constantly persecute me for my Christian faith? There are dozens of books for evangelism and missionary work, but The Ex-Muslim’s Guide to Christianity speaks straight to ex-Muslims with experienced understanding, deep compassion, and life-saving truths. Practical Resources for Ex-Muslims Following Christ Author and ex-Muslim Kenza Haddock was a devout follower of Islam before a miraculous experience with Jesus saved her from taking her own life. But when she left Islam, her family, and the Muslim community behind in search of Christ, she found that there were no resources to help her bridge the gap between her old ways of thinking and a new life in Christ. Years later, as a seasoned Christian, Kenza has written the resource she desperately searched for as a new believer. This guide is full of practical resources such as: God’s 7 essential promises that will help ex-Muslims thrive The myths about Christianity that Islam teaches Step-by-step instructions for growing in Bible study, prayer, community, the Holy Spirit, etc. And much more This book is perfect for: New and seasoned believers with a background in Islam Resource material for pastors and church leaders Church libraries Church counselors Missionaries And more

He then suggests thirteen 'No Regret Moves' to help build open-hearted friendships and to equip Christians to connect with Muslims, including: Pray in faith for open hearts; Foster curiosity; Show love in action; Invite others into The Story and your story.
