From the Crescent to the Cross: My Extraordinary Journey to the Heart of God

As Maryama focused on the cross, her sight became clearer. She had seen a cross before, but this was the first time she had looked intently at one. She was convinced that there was a story in that cross and that it had something to do with her—but what? As a little Somali shepherdess, Maryama was taught to honor God by keeping the five pillars of Islam. The beautiful sky and the vast, lonely landscape convinced her of His existence, but who was He? Maryama would journey far—through marriage, Middle Eastern decadence, divorce, single motherhood, financial struggle, American individualism, liberal feminism, hypnosis, and Scientology—before she found Him in the cross. You will be stirred by this story of a searching heart that finally found rest and joy in Jesus Christ.
