Abdul & Mr. Friday

by David Leatherberry

This book is an account based on a true story about a devout Muslim and a dedicated Christian. Each was willing to die for the other, yet neither could be moved from his faith. These were two men from two different worlds whose bond of friendship could not be broken.
It's a narrative that shows how their enduring friendship was forged and sustained. It's a story of each defending the other. Abdul defended Mr. Friday before the Taliban. Mr. Friday defended Abdul before Westerners. Both were men of unshakable integrity. Neither could be corrupted.
Each had a great spiritual concern for the other. Abdul believed there was no eternal hope for Mr. Friday unless he believed and repeated the Islamic confession of faith. Mr. Friday, often on his knees, agonized in prayer for the salvation of Abdul, which he believed comes through Christ alone. Neither wanted to go to heaven without the other.

The climax happens 75% into the book but man… this book inspires me in my friendships. The 2 main characters come from different religion backgrounds yet they each had concern for each others eternity. They were honest with each others concerns and it brought depth in their friendship.
