I Dared to Call Him Father Revised
Bilquis Sheikh

I Dared To Call Him Father remains a classic case history in the ongoing dialogue between Muslims and Christians, as well as an enthralling story of faith and courage in the face of danger and difficulty. Bilquis Sheikh was a Pakistani woman of noble birth. Left by her husband, a high-ranking government official, she retreated to her family estate to live out her days in quiet luxury. But the deep-down peace she sought eluded her. Does God still speak to people today? This true story answers that question with a resounding yes. Searching in the Quran, Bilquis Sheikh found references to the prophet Jesus. So she turned to the pages of the Christian Bible to see if they could shed more light on this mysterious figure. At the same time a series of strange dreams launched her on a quest that would bring her to crisis point. Was Islam still the right way for her, or could God be known more personally? Her decision would change her life forever. This new edition includes previously unpublished material which brings the story up to date.

Torn Veil Revised Edition
Esther Gulshan

A true story of freedom and miraculous healing as a Muslim girl finds faith in Christ.

When Gulshan Esther, a devout Muslim girl, was six months old, typhoid left her a cripple. Her loving father took her from Pakistan to England to find a cure, but the only hope the British specialist could offer was prayer. Gulshan and her father made pilgrimage to Mecca and begged Allah for healing, but it was not until her father's untimely death that Gulshan began to receive an answer. In her grief she wanted to die, but as she called out to God, for the first time in her life she sensed she was being heard. She heard a low, gentle voice say, "I won't let you die. I will keep you alive. I am Jesus, son of Mary."

As Gulshan began reading the Quran, her interest in Jesus grew, until one amazing night he appeared to her in her bedroom in a blaze of light. He restored her crippled arm and leg and taught her The Lord's Prayer. He told her to go to his people (now her people) and tell them what he had done. Since that time, and to this day, she has been a joyous, obedient disciple of Christ. The Torn Veil is an amazing story of faith and determination.

Tough Talk 2
Millie Murray

Stories of changed lives from three more members of the famous powerlifting evangelism team from the east end of London. Since the publication of Tough Talk back in 2000 the Tough Talk team have established themselves as one of the most well-known evangelistic teams in the UK today. Making over 250 appearances each year in churches, prisons and schools as well as numerous outdoor events, the team share their stories of salvation using powerlifting as a unique backdrop. This new book features three more men who are now part of the Tough Talk Team: When Joe Lampshire's father left, he was devastated, thinking it was his fault. He was then drawn towards the occult world where an experience with the ouija board left him fearing for his life. Martyn Parrish was a young man with no self-esteem. Descending the slippery slope of drug addiction he realised he needed help. While attempting to get his life together he met Tough Talk founder Ian McDowall and it had a profound influence on his life. As a young man, Simon Pinchbeck was notoriously violent. After becoming a policeman he soon gained a reputation for being the 'hard man' in the force but one day went too far. 'These three genuine stories are each very different but have a common theme. Each life has been dramatically changed from one that was spiralling out of control because of drugs, alcohol, selfishness, greed and violence, to a life that has peace, hope, purpose and direction. The message behind these stories is that anyone, irrespective of their background and past mistakes, can have a totally new start in their life. I unreservedly recommend it.'
