One night changed everything. On September 11, 2001, young Ahmed watched his cousins and tribesmen murder nearly three thousand infidels in the name of Allah, the god of Islam. As he filled the Saudi Arabian sky with bullets and triumphant shouts of Allahu Akbar! (Allah is the greatest), this son of a Meccan Mufti made a pledge to follow in his family’s footsteps, to bring swift retribution upon the unbelievers through jihad, and so buy his way into paradise. One night changed all of that. On the Ramadan Night of Destiny, his doors were suddenly flung open and a blinding light stepped forth, calling, “Come to me!” Believing he had seen Satan, Ahmed went searching for answers and soon found the true, living God: Jesus Christ. But the darkness poisoning his homeland is great, and Ahmed quickly found that the cross of Christ is a crosshair marking him for death. Now on the run across the world, Ahmed must outsmart unfriendly eyes and dodge bullets—but, no matter what happens, he will never renounce his Savior or close his lips from preaching the Gospel…even if it costs him his life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for everyone

Such an excellent book. The true story of Ahmed is one of the most compelling books of this decade. The atrocities of Islam and the Saudis are on full display here. This story needs to be shared and told all over the world to proclaim Jesus as the one true King.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scripture saturated, Gospel focused, story of redemption
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2023
Any story, book, so saturated in Scripture is a delight to the heart and refreshing to the soul. Without such a soaking in the Word, this book would be a terrible book. The suffering Dr. Joktan lived through, even knowing who sustained him through it and the joy that awaits him, is hard to read about. It can be a bit gruesome. Yet, it is the reality of Christians for eons. So, it is the story of God’s work in this world. What could be more awesome?!
I fear that I am one that is skeptical of many of the stories of dreams. As such, I would have been skeptical of his testimony at first as well. I understand why others were as well and can understand their fear. Yet, the evidence of new birth is unmistakable. A changed life is the proof of new birth. We can debate the validity of dreams, but I am convinced that Dr. Joktan is saved. God has granted him much fruit of repentance. Who are we to reject a fellow believer because of their past? Has God not put our past behind us? It was a good lesson in looking with God’s eyes on others.
The only thing quibble I have is the liberties the ghostwriter, and he did a wonderful job, took with the timeline, and invention of dreams. I fully get the invention of dialog and minute details, but shifting the timing of a marriage is slightly more than I would have chosen. Life, and God’s path through it, are mightily complex and tangled, I think readers could have accepted that. Like I said, it is a pretty minor quibble and fully owned up to in the appendix, so don’t let it deter you, but realize that there is more novelization than you find in most biographies. I probably would have been happier with the direct unpolished memoir, so maybe I’ll try to find that.
This one is strongly recommended though. It was really good. It motivated me to love the brethren more, to love the church more, and to love the lost more, but most importantly, it reminded me how glorious our Savior is. Read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Father’s love
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2022
Dr. Joktan was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. This is his life story. From a young boy trying hard to please his father, to a young man learning about the Father, to a man preaching and spreading the word of God. He surrendered his family, religion, home country, profession, and almost his life to serve God in a place that God is forbidden.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing True Story - I've seen first-hand
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2023
I met Dr. Joktan in February 2020 - his scars bear testimony to this eye-opening story. I bought the book that day and was captivated hearing the full story behind the snippets I heard when I met him. The story is hard to believe because it seems too extreme, but I am now a witness to this amazing tale and have become a friend of Dr. Joktan.
