Believing as Ourselves
In Believing as Ourselves, the author, an American Muslim of 16 years, brings to the forefront the indispensable importance of personal authenticity to the maintenance of faith. The author asserts that all too often "non-native" Muslims, in their well meaning zeal, throw away the very parts of their identity that, not only led them to Islam in the first place, but ultimate...more

i actually wrote a review about this book.
This is very important books which inspire people who have the blurry message of what becoming a Muslim like, and thus have people educated themselves on what Islam is.
The book is beautifully written, compelling and honest depiction of life as a female American convert to Islam. Furthermore, the personal experiences of her shows great sincerity and introspection as she struggles to attain authentic self-surrender to God.

A must have for all Muslim converts!!! Read it and you'll know you are not alone.
Also a must read for all Muslims, because it does bring to light a lot of the problems/pains/suffering that we converts go through. InshaAllah, things will change once we all read this book and act on it.

Thought provoking and exciting! Waiting for authors next release soon! Excellent read for converts, things many of us have gone through, ponder or may struggle with. Great read!
Tells it like it is for so many
This book was funny, moving and right on the mark. I think it is worth reading not only for converts but those who have "reverted" to Islam. I loved it.
A very good shelf-help spiritual book
Loved this book so much I read it in 6 hours! the style the book was written in and the points raised had me giggling from pretty much start to finish. What Lynn is experiencing with the "native Muslims" in the US is no different to the situation we face here in the UK with the "native Muslims". Great book a must read for all Muslims and those wanting to understand the lack of cohesion in the Muslim "ummah"... just a fabulous book! :) well done Lynn! and thank you so much!!
