Leaving Islam for Christianity cost her more than she imagined, but gave more than she could have dreamed. Rifqa Bary grew up in a devout Muslim home, obediently following her parents’ orders to practice the rituals of Islam. But God was calling her to freedom and love. He was calling her to true faith. He was calling her to give up everything. Hiding in the Light is the story of Rifqa’s remarkable spiritual journey from Islam to Christianity. It is also the untold story of how she ran from her father’s threats to find refuge with strangers in Florida, only to face a controversial court case that reached national headlines. Most of all, it is the story of a young girl who made life-changing sacrifices to follow Jesus—and who inspires us to do the same.

UPDATE: Going through my old reading challenges and finding some books for my Challenge.
This will be my Sri Lanka book around the world.
I have a lot of thoughts on this book, a ton. But I think I will summarize by saying this:
I think with some maturity, in 5 or so years she would not be telling this story in the way she told it or even view the situations as she viewed them. I was disappointed by some of her reactions and feelings and even confused. I honestly would not recommend this book to others.
