Son of Hamas
Islam focuses its values very much on family life and loyalty, and so when a Muslim converts to another religion – especially Christianity – there are often very unsavoury consequences. That person is usually disowned by their family, and on occasion beaten and even killed for their betrayal.
It is even more incredible, then, when we read how Mosab Hassan Yousef - whose father founded and led the terrorist group ‘Hamas’ – came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. As the ‘Son of Hamas’, Yousef saw the inner workings of the extremist group and recalls his own involvement from a young age. He powerfully and honestly relays his experiences of being groomed to assume his father’s legacy, politics, status and power, all the while being considered a ‘prince’.
Now, a committed Christian, disowned by his family and country and living in the States, Yousef reveals information about the terrorist organisation and joyfully declares his Christian beliefs. He notes that the biblical command to ’love your enemies’ is the only way to establish peace in the middle east.
A culturally relevant and deeply probing book, ‘Son of Hamas’ honestly and passionately shows how God can rescue someone from the darkest of places. It continues to be a bestseller at Quench.
