Eventually, through years of debates & through deep soul-searching, Qureshi began to doubt everything he had ever believed about Islam. And I told you, VIRTUALLY NO SCHOLAR CONSIDERS THOSE SEGMENTS AS PARTS OF THE BIBLE ANYMORE [capitalization added for emphasis]. You need to show me a major change in something we actually consider a part of the Bible." Sometimes you read a book and love it so much you want everyone you know to read it too! This is that book. It is so good I did not want it to end. I loved the friendship between Nabeel and David - their playful banter but also their ability to discuss controversial faith matters in depth while still remaining best friends. David's ability to question Nabeel while still being a fun and awesome friend is a real challenge to me. How do I share the gospel with my friends who have their own religion? How do I speak of real matters of faith and the heart in a way that shows my genuine love and concern? Nabeel's story shows the importance of being willing to engage people in theological matters, something I tend to shy away from focussing instead on my personal experiences with my loving Creator. This book has encouraged me to reconsider my approach. The book was still as good the second time around, but sadder after Nabeel's death and the revelations about Ravi. I was glad there wasn't really anything about Ravi in the book, but it still casts a shadow.

a b c "Nabeel Qureshi, author of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, passes". Zondervan Academic. 18 September 2017 . Retrieved 29 December 2022. He described Qureshi as “one of the finest preachers I have ever heard.” [Editor’s note: Zacharias later shared a personal tribute to his protégé, as well as gave the eulogy at his memorial service.] It was also encouraging to see how God used normal people in Nabeel’s life for His purposes. It reminds me that I can have an impact on others, even if it’s only a small one. I don’t have to write long, philosophical books or give eloquent speeches to change a life. Sometimes, all someone needs is a probing question or thought-provoking conversation to start them on the path of searching for truth.Me personally ? I was on the latter category, and my soul just got crushed after reading this; as if I re-embrace my first love to God.

Great must be Nabeel's reward in heaven. He tested the truth, he held fast to what was good despite suffering great loss, he loved the truth. An incredible testimony of humility and courage. Providing an intimate window into a loving Muslim home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and claimed to be God. If there is a book, other than the Bible itself, that boldly strengthens a Christian faith both academically and emotionally. To conclude, if you enjoy theological debates, you'll enjoy this book (especially if you're Christian, I lowkey want to recommend this book to Muslim friends just to hear countering points for Qureshi's claims). It's definitely an educational look on Islam, Christianity, and faith in general.

When the author, referring to how the the Quran mercilessly destroyed families by killing the men and boys while selling the women into slavery, said, "What if that happened to me and my family?", I thought that he could of used the exact same reasoning in the Old Testament where similar things happened repeatedly when the nation of Israel, under the command of God and Moses, mercilessly destroyed entire civilizations and even "took women for themselves" who were captured. Of course it is easier to make the Bible seem slightly more peaceful than the Quran when you ignore the Old Testament of the Bible and the ultimate fiery doom of the world that the New Testament predicts. Everything he wrote about Judaism was wrong- Jews don't quite believe in bodily resurrection. It seems like non-Jews place a far bigger emphasis on Jewish prophecies than Jews themselves, like that stuff is esoteric.
