. . . An easily read, easy to understand book that gives plenty of information as well as great real life stories of women who found Christ despite the oppressing nature and fear of the religion.

I had to read this book twice to grasp all the information that it offered on the Islamic religion. The author is a former Muslim so he knows the subject well. His information is timely and very relevant to our world today which teaches many errors about Islam.

It is interesting to read reviews that have aparrently not read the text but race to measure its merit. I wonder, has the above Canadian educator taken just one step into the middle east?
I have found this work to be compassionate and full of Christian love for Muslim women. If you wish to understand the plight of Muslim women and thier lack of human rights do a study for yourself and start with this text. It is unashamed of its Christian worldview but accurate and, especially in the case of chapter 2 by Ms. Naser, quite poignant. Read it and judge for yourself.

With all due respect to the above reviewer from Massachusetts, it seems as though they have not actually read this book. Of course this book is given a particular "bent": it is written by Christian women for Christian women describing the life and situation of Muslim women "through their eyes." And, with that stated purpose in mind, the female authors of VBTV, as well as the editor, do a skillfull job of fulfilling their purpose. They write clearly, compassionately, and reasonably. I would recommend this book to anyone, but particularly to Christian women who are interested in the lives of women within Muslim cultures, societies, and families.

Well intentioned, poorly written
Dr. Caner has set out on a noble cause to present a view of the Islamic world through the eyes of women, but he fails at effectively reporting on this. Read more
