Hiding in the Light
“After four years of hiding my faith from my family, I knew that it was time. I wrote with shaky hands, ‘Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I refuse to deny him….’ There was no turning back now. I had to get out of that house if I wanted to live. Was this worth risking everything for? Yes.”
Rifqa Bary grew up in a devout Muslim home, obediently following her parents’ orders to practice the rituals of Islam. But God was calling her to freedom and love. He was calling her to true faith. He was calling her to give up everything.
Leaving Islam for Christianity cost her more than she imagined
but gave more than she could have dreamed.

Hiding in the Light was an eye opening story about Islam and its followers. It shows readers the dangers of the Islamic religion. It is a quick read that the reader will not want to put down.
I thought this book would be just a story of someone escaping Islam. But it turned out to be a whole lot more. I was scared but cheering for Rifqa Bary. It must have been hard to live in a home where you are constantly hiding your love for Christ. But knowing you must or you would die. I was amazed that a girl so young could be so courageous. I do not think I could have been so brave.
It also made me realize that there is hundreds of Islamic people who are wanting a way out of Islam but they do not know how to get out.
Instead of looking at Islamic people with a critical eye I wonder how many are really wanting and craving to know Christ as their Savior.
