• What caused an ex-militant Muslim who fought Christians during the Lebanese Civil War to reject his religious heritage and to embrace Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior?
  
• What transformed a man who thrived on hatred, a man who shot at a Christian for tolling a church bell to leave his baggage of hatred behind and to learn to love even his enemies?
  
• What were the events, and the thought evolution that precipitated a man who blasphemed the name of Christ, to worship and adore Him as the Son of the Living God?

Book Summary

The book begins with the "Physical Jihad" of Jerry Rassamni as a militant Druze Muslim warring against Christians during the Lebanese Civil War. The narrative briskly shifts to Jerry's "Personal Jihad" -- journey to spiritual enlightenment. While attempting to refute Christianity, Jerry was instead convicted of his own sin, and in need for a savior. This led him to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. This ex-militant Muslim shares the powerful evidence that compelled him to abandon Islam and trust in Christ as his Savior.

In the same way that Islam boasts of five pillars of the faith, Jerry points out "five exposition pillars" that undrape and expose the skeletons of Islam.

• Man, is he born in fitrah (pure state)?
• The Qur'an, is it the true word of God?
• The prophet Muhammad, was he a Biblical prophet?
• Allah, is he the etrnal God of the Bible?
• Ahadith (Muslim customs and beliefs), are they from God?

Overview

The manuscript is divided into the following distinct parts

1) Part I: Introduction - As human beings, we have an uncanny ability to prove in our own minds that which we so want to be true... But when we dare to look beyond our own prejudices, we may in fact discover that idealism makes us into mere puppets who do not believe out of conviction or clarity of thought, but either because we desperately want to or are raised to... This book opens with an invitation for people to build their thought infrastructure on objective knowledge and critical thinking instead of borrowed or inherited ideas. It is an invitation to dare to look beneath the tarmac of Islam and examine its deficit…

2) Part II: How I came to know Christ as my Lord and Savior – This section is about the heart beat of a hell-deserving man, against the backdrop of the intensity of God’s incomprehensible love. It is about how God turns wolves into lambs, blasphemers into worshippers, and idolaters into believers by the power of His marvelous grace. It is also about a man who narrates by the irrefutable powers of logic and reason, how God is a God of love and there is but one path to Him, and that is through His Son Jesus Christ...

3) Part III: This section which constitutes the heart of the book, debunks Islam and exposes it to the fire of critical analysis by addressing five very basic questions concerning man, the Qur’an, Mohammed, Allah, and Muslim customs. Once exposed to the fire of critical analysis Islam is quickly consumed by the flames and is proven to be a proverbial house of cards…

4) Part IV: The Finale - This highly explosive and controversial manuscript traces the origins of Allah as the pagan moon god, exposes the rampant contradictions of the Qur'an, the feet of clay of Islam's prophet, the sinful nature of man, and the outlandish and peculiar Muslim customs known as Ahadith. It then present the gospel of Jesus Christ as the only clear alternative, and the only vehicle of salvation through God's amazing grace...
