I Dared to Call Him Father: The Miraculous Story of a Muslim Woman's Encounter with God

I don't know why it's taken me so long to read this book. An inspiring, moving story of a divorced, middle-aged, Muslim woman's Christian journey. Beginning with her conversion in her fifties and taking us through the story of the next decade or so of her life. It was wonderful to read about her dreams, visions, and encounters with God. The most memorable aspect of this story is the author's clear love for the presence of God. I'm glad I read it!

An amazing book , doesn’t matter how May times you read it , it’s captivating, a must read

Wow what a fantastic book I loved it, unlike many books and testimonies that tell of so much of the road to salvation, this starts with salvation and tells the incredible story of a lady born in to royalty but found the King of Kings and risk everything to gain it all. I also loved the epilogue added by her friend Mrs Miller with a powerful truth that we all need to read, your family is it blood or is it the power that moves and enriches the blood. Needless to say I highly recommend this book and the truth of a life trusting in GOD.

This book touched my heart. It reminded me what Christianity is about and how to be close to God. Some people in book club said it lacked detail making it hard to connect to the characters. However I enjoyed the fact each chapter was concise and to the point and each chapter had a lesson.

This book has really encouraged my faith as a christian. God is doing so much in the lives of those across the world and it is beautiful to be able to read about!

I read this book many years ago at the age of 21 and learnt a lot from it at the time. I have also remembered snippets of wisdom from it over the years. A few days ago it appeared on my Amazon recommendations page and I had to read it again. It has given me encouragement to re-connect with my faith and I highly recommend it.

I could not put this book down. God revealed himself to this Pakistani woman and she learned to walk with Him and trust Him with every detail of her life. It describes the trails and persecution that she faced as a Muslim woman who decided to follow Jesus. It was a real encouragement to me and a challenge to learn to abide in the love of Jesus in order to experience His peace in every situation that life brings us.

Excellent book

This is a book I actually finished. The book is interesting and inspiring and the beautiful descriptions of the surroundings and events make you feel that you are there. Highly recommend.

This book has such beautiful insight on how beautiful an intimate relationship with God can be and how it all starts when your heart starts to transform. A must read for all Jesus lovers🌼

A great book - amazing example of faith.

I loved the book. Such an amazing story. The presence of the Holy Spirit is amazing, which actually confirms that the story is true. How wonderful it is to know that OUR LORD can use anyone for His glory.

This lady lived a life of knowing God intimately and inspires each of us to have the same relationship with our Creator, our Heavenly Father! I had the honor of meeting this dear woman of God in the late 1980's. She spoke at a Christian Women's Retreat I attended in Northern California. She was elegant, regal and we were all drawn closely to her every word. Jesus exuded from her and when we saw her and heard her we wanted more of Jesus too. I thought of her many times throughout the years but had forgotten she'd written a book. At the time of the retreat I bought her teaching tapes from the weekend. As the years passed I forgot I had those too. I ran across them a few months before finding her book available for my Kindle! I practically jumped for joy!!! So, as I just now have finished it, I'm reflecting on that weekend and on the peace and joy she had. And the presence! Her own presence commanded attention because we were Westerners, and she an Easterner. But the PRESENCE she truly carried was the fullness of the Holy Spirit!! The book brought back memories of the teaching and her testimony she shared with us. The book of course, matches what I recall her telling us, and things I'd forgotten. It was a joy to read! It is well written, edited well and a beautiful story of her life before knowing Jesus and after being so close to Him. Her life is an inspiration to follow harder after God, to live a life of obedience, forgiveness and to always practice living in the presence of God. To abide so closely that you recognize His call, His voice, His commands and His deep and faithful love is where I always want to remain. I'm sure it will touch each Christian heart deeply. I pray it will touch each Muslim heart in a way that makes them want to chose Jesus as their Lord and Savior and every other heart as well! I thank God for dear Madam Sheikh, (as she was introduced to us), and I look forward to meeting her again in heaven, Thank you for making this book available for Kindle. I went back to purchase it for several friends and was saddened that the price had gone up before I could purchase copies. I now can't afford as many as I'd like to purchase. Read and be blessed! And if you already have her original book, still get this one, it has some additional chapters of her life and death. PRCS
