Readers Share How 'Lion of Babylon' Has Impacted Their Lives

I am thrilled beyond words by the personal notes readers of Lion of Babylon send me. I would like to share some of them here.

From Gary:

I have just finished my third reading of Lion of Babylon. And I am telling myself to lay it aside for awhile again. Hard to do. I have decided that this is most certainly a prophetic book. Not in the story line, but in the tidbits of information you share along the way and how you tie them in to spiritual concepts.

I feel like I have pierced through the fog of the Middle East by your teaching. And I am renewed in the truth that ALL of God's people are led by the Spirit of God, in big ways and small ways. I feel like I am handling gold when I hold and read this book.

From Bill:

Exciting, warm and, for me with my Lebanese Arab culture, so meaningful. Thank you!

From Kieran:

Lion of Babylon is both brilliant and riveting. I read it from start to finish because I simply could not put it down.

While I am not in a position to have an opinion of any merit on your writing—I know what I like and I loved the book. It has a certain interactive nature that caused me to be having a dialogue with myself while keeping up with the fast past action. It is thought provoking and, as usual, well-documented by no doubt hundreds of hours or research and interviews. Bring on the movie!

From Carolyn:

I'll be passing Lion of Babylon on to a reading friend. My, oh my, will she be surprised!  Your superbly crafted characters never fail to bless!

From Laural:

I was impressed by how the believers, the Iraqi believers in particular, did not just hang the Christian banner over their heads. They made it abundantly clear that it's all about Jesus. It's all about Jesus!

This is such a wake-up call as to just how precious our faith should be to us. As with all of your books, I had a really hard time detaching emotionally from these characters when I turned the last page. To me, that is a sign of a good read, a very good read.

From Judith:

The greatest revelation I received from Lion of Babylon was when Marc and Sameh had gone to the underground church, and Sameh was so humbled at the touch of the Holy Spirit during the time they had held hands with people they didn't know, and repeated the Lord's Prayer.

As an American, I feel sometimes we miss that awe of freely worshipping, and I had to stop to cry and pray for believers around the world not as fortunate as I.

I am beginning to see people of different faiths as Our Father God does. He knows no color, race or religious beliefs. He knows our souls, faithfulness and love for Him. I want to be a God-chaser, and not miss His voice when He speaks to me!

From David:

Lion of Babylon is one of your best. I had a hard time putting it down so I could get some sleep. The ending was a surprise.
