One Minute Book Review: Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus
This week I’ve been reading Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by the late Nabeel Qureshi. The book is something of an autobiography, the journey of a fervent Muslim to Christianity.
Nabeel is a great story-teller and this book was definitely a page-turner. I particularly liked his ability to give the reader a substantial introduction to Islam while in the process of recounting his early years.
The apologetic content is thoughtfully handled and what comes across more than anything is the love he had for his former faith and his continued love for his family, despite the strain his conversion inevitably placed upon their relationship.

One Minute Book Review: CS Lewis & Narnia for Dummies
I’m not very good at keeping track of the books I’ve read, since I typically give the books away when I’m finished unless I’m certain to reread them or use them as a reference. Because of this, I’m planning to start doing one minute reviews as I finish whatever book I’m reading. Today’s book is “C.S. Lewis & Narnia for Dummies”…
I picked up a second-hand copy of C.S. Lewis & Narnia for Dummies. I have long been a fan of the “For Dummies” series and this book has further nurtured my love for them. By the end of this book, the reader will have a good understanding of C.S. Lewis’ life and conversion, as well as broad knowledge of the major works in his corpus and the main themes of each. This is an excellent primer if you are looking to get started with Lewis.
