Book Description

May 25, 2004
An unprecedented, sympathetic, and wide-ranging exploration of the mysterious world of Islamic women-the people behind the veils-by female writers and Christian workers.

More than half a billion women live their entire lives peeking out from behind heavy veils. Theirs is a mysterious, misunderstood life often lived without hope and under great persecution.

This groundbreaking book is written by evangelical Christian women who have seen the other side. Ranging from missionaries in Islamic countries, to former reporters and columnists, the contributors give a powerful and unsilenceable voice to the women behind the veil.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Dr. Ergun Caner is quickly becoming known as the authority in pulling back the veil of Islam. --Dr Mac Brunson, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas, and President, Southern Baptist Convention Pastor's Conference

From the Back Cover

More than half a billion women live their lives peering out from behind heavy veils. Their lives are mysterious, misunderstood, and often marked by great persecution and hopelessness.

This groundbreaking book written by women intimately familiar with the world of Islam, draws back the covering on every stage and aspect of life for the Muslim woman—as a child, wife, mother, sister, and religious adherent.

The contributors, ranging from missionaries in Islamic countries, to reporters and former Muslims, paint a powerful picture of what it means to be a voice behind the veil.

Ergun Mehmet Caner (Th.M., Southeastern Seminary; Th.D., University of South Africa) is currently Professor of Theology and Church History at Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia. During his seventeen years as a pastor and now as a professor, Dr. Caner has lectured on apologetics, world religions, and theology in eleven countries and has been interviewed on CNN, The 700 Club, and the BBC, among many others. He is the coauthor of More Than a Prophet and the best-selling book, Unveiling Islam.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Informative and Powerful Book!!, July 12, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Voices Behind the Veil: The World of Islam Through the Eyes of Women (Paperback)
I had to read this book twice to grasp all the information that it offered on the Islamic religion. The author is a former Muslim so he knows the subject well. His information is timely and very relevant to our world today which teaches many errors about Islam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating account of what really goes on in Islam, June 15, 2005
By 
This review is from: Voices Behind the Veil: The World of Islam Through the Eyes of Women (Paperback)
This book was easy to read and very informative. Particularly useful for women who are in a position to reach out to Muslim women and assist them find relief from the tragic ordeal they face under the oppresion of Islam. Muslim culture clearly prohibit any non muslim man from approaching muslim women , so it befalls on non-muslim women to make the approach. Very good book and highly recommended for those who would like to help out those unfortunate veiled muslim women find their way to freedom.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unashamed and Full of Compassion, May 14, 2004
By 
Randal T. Crudgington (Garland, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Voices Behind the Veil: The World of Islam Through the Eyes of Women (Paperback)
It is interesting to read reviews that have aparrently not read the text but race to measure its merit. I wonder, has the above Canadian educator taken just one step into the middle east?
I have found this work to be compassionate and full of Christian love for Muslim women. If you wish to understand the plight of Muslim women and thier lack of human rights do a study for yourself and start with this text. It is unashamed of its Christian worldview but accurate and, especially in the case of chapter 2 by Ms. Naser, quite poignant. Read it and judge for yourself.
