The price to pay : a Muslim risks all to follow Christ

During his military service, Muhammad, a young Muslim Iraqi from a leading Shiite family, discovers that his roommate is a Christian. Muhammad tries to convert his roommate, but he is the one who is converted. In Islam changing one's religion is a crime, and Muhammad's family does everything possible to make him renounce his new faith in Christ. Muhammad, who has become Joseph by his baptism, risks everything-- family, friends, his inheritance and home, and even his life-- and reveals the horrible persecution endured by Christians living in a violent and hostile Muslim world.

  • ""Lors de son service militaire, Mohammed, jeune musulman irakien issu d'une grande famille chiite, découvre avec effroi que son voisin de chambrée est chrétien. Une relation paradoxale se noue entre les deux hommes. Mohammed en sortira métamorphosé. Revenu à la vie civile, il n'aura qu'une idée en tête : se convertir au christianisme. Une pure folie! Pour ses parents et ses proches, c'est impensable. En Islam, le changement de religion est un crime. Tout est mis en oeuvre par son clan pour le faire revenir sur sa décision. Rien n'y fait. Aprés les intimidations et les coups, viennent la prison et la torture-- Mohammed, devenu Joseph par son baptême, vit un long calvaire mais ne céde pas. Une fatwa est prononcée contre lui. Ses frères lui tirent dessus, en pleine rue. Grièvement blessé, il s'effondre--. Le prix à payer est une histoire vraie"--Page 4 of cover."
