Hiding in the
Light by Rifqa Bary
Rifqa Bary wrote this book to
give an accurate account of her personal experiences within her family and
community. In 2009-2010 her story broke
in national and international media and intrigued many people. I wanted to read her book to find out her
side of the story.
She traces her story back to the
day, when as a child, she sensed the Lord’s presence in a remarkable way. As she becomes increasingly discontent with
Islam, God continues to work in her life to call her to Himself. During high school, she becomes a follower of
Jesus and knows that she must hide this fact from her family. One day, the unthinkable happens and her
faith is discovered. To save her life,
she runs away. But her struggle is only
beginning.
I enjoyed Rifqa’s faith and how
she trusted God to help her. Her story
is inspiring and enlightening. It is
invaluable to help us understand and reach out to our Muslim neighbors and
converts. I was thankful to have the
opportunity to read her book.
