Book Reviews of Believing as Ourselves
Book Review: A Book for American Converts to Islam
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a very good read. The author is honest, funny and entertaining. I read this book in 2 days, and sometimes I wiped a tear , but mostly I was laughing out loud. I also liked the quotes in the book, although I felt they were a bit too many.Two important messages are: Muslims do not reflect Islam, so don't judge Islam by its followers, and don't forget that its mostly between you and God, so don't fear people and what they may think or say more than you do God.This book is about an American woman convert in the American Muslim community and it gives a good look into that and offers sound advice for new converts or those who find that they are loosing their steam. As a book that is specifically directed at American converts to Islam ,this is not a book to read if you want to learn about Islam in general. For that reason I don't recommend this book for non-Muslims or for "native" Muslims.
