I Dared to Call Him Father: The True Story of a Woman's Encounter with God

The emotional story of a Muslim woman who found her way to Jesus Christ.

This is a book for everyone who has ever asked these questions: How do I give myself to God completely? What happens when I do?

I Dared to Call Him Father is the fascinating true story of Bilquis Sheikh, a prominent Muslim woman in Pakistan who faced these questions at the crossroads of her life and found the astonishing answers. Her unusual journey to a personal relationship with God turned her world upside down--and put her life in danger--as a series of strange dreams launched her on a quest that would forever consume her heart, mind, and soul.

Originally published in 1978, the book has sold 300,000 copies and is a classic in Muslim evangelism.

BILQUIS SHEIKH came from a family in Pakistan that held government power for seven hundred years. She was also the wife of a high-ranking government official in Pakistan. She gave her life to Jesus Christ in 1966. In 1972, sponsored by Samaritan's Purse, she resettled in the United States, where she spoke widely and shared her faith with many. Years later she returned to Pakistan, where she died in 1997. She was given a Christian funeral.
