CHRISTIAN LIVING Kamal Saleem was born to a large

Sunni Muslim family in the heart of the Middle East. He was recruited by a radical Muslim group and had completed his first mission by the age of seven. He mastered every form of terrorist tactics. Kamal eventually left his family home to pursue his new mission: to convert people in the U.S. to Islam.

VIEW A

VIDEOCLIP NEW The Blood of Lambs Kamal Saleem with Lynn Vincent

Some radical Muslims believe that nonMuslims who refuse to convert must die.

This memoir of a terrorist who has renounced his deadly participation in jihad, or “holy war” conveys an urgent wake-up call to Americans.

Hard cover $22.99

In 1985, Kamal’s world turned upside down when he was seriously injured in an automobile accident. A Christian man tended to Kamal at the accident scene, his orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist were also Christian men who ministered the unconditional love of Jesus Christ to him as he recovered.

The love of these men caused Kamal to cry out to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob acknowledging his need for the Savior. Kamal has since become a man on a new mission, as an ambassador for the one true and living God, of the Bible.
