Product Description
On 11 September 2001, the whole world watched the most horrific and painful event taking place before their eyes. Terrorists attacked the United States' World Trade Center and the Pentagon by using planes as guided missiles. Both of the 110-story buildings of World Trade Center collapsed within one hour, and more than 3,000 people died. These events have raised many serious questions about the religion of Islam, Allah, Mohammed and Muslims because all the 19 hijackers were Muslims, and they did this horrible act purposely, to kill thousands of people. Many are looking for answers and many are curious to know more about Islam...the world's second largest religion. Many are curious to know what Jihad is and why Muslim young men behaved like this. Many are asking, 'are not Allah and Elohim/Yahweh God same? Are the Muslims worshipping the God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob? In this book I have tried to delve into the scriptures of both the Quran and the Bible to find out answers to the questions. I have compared God of the Bible and Allah to know whether the Christians and the Muslims worship the same God or not. I hope this book will help clear most of the questions troubling your mind. May the Almighty God open your eyes of understanding, so that you may know the truth and be blessed!In Allah and Elohim, Sherly Isaac documents her search for the answer to the all-important questionare Allah and Elohim the same God? Using scripture quotations from the Bible and Quran along with key conversations with several followers of Islam, Isaac weighs the facts and uncovers the truth. This book will be a helpful reference tool for the libraries of people of all faiths.- Ella Robinson, editor

About the Author
Sherly Isaac was born and raised in a Christian family in India. She was brought up under strict discipline, as her parents themselves were very strict regarding religious formalities. They insisted on her going to church every Sunday and reading the Bible and praying every day. But she wasn't good in her studies. She even struggled to get passing marks in her exams. Not only that, her home was a broken home. Her parents always fought with one another. It was such a hell that it is very difficult to explain in words. She was totally broken, dejected, and hopeless. She wondered whether any good thing would ever happen in her life. During her school days, almost every day, she wished that it might turn out to be the last day of her life and that the evening might not come so that she need not to return home. She longed to meet with some accident and die, but it never happened. Many times, she thought of committing suicide. But whenever she thought about it, a great fear came, and she left that idea. She had no desire to live in this world. Meanwhile, something happened in her legs, and doctors could not figure out what the problem was. She was unable to walk due to terrible pain in her legs. She was hardly able to even move from her bed. Doctors gave her double doses of a painkiller, but it never helped her. Only the misery intensified. Then one day she heard a Christian radio program in which the preacher said, 'If you die today, would you go to heaven? If you are not sure about going to heaven, repent from your sins and invite Jesus in your life. And He will forgive all your sins and give you assurance of heaven.' She prayed the sinners' prayer with him (Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, please forgive all my sins and wash me with your precious blood. Please give me assurance of heaven that if I die today, I may reach heaven.) As soon as she prayed this prayer from the bottom of her heart, a great peace came into her life. Though her circumstances did not change immediatel

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Truth-teller Hits the Market, February 27, 2003

By	Timothy W. Dunkin "TQCincinnatus" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

...This book, superior to the previous one by the same author, lays out plainly the differences between the Biblical God and the Allah of Islam. While not going into as much depth as it could, it certainly does a superb job of illustrating the stark differences between Muslim and Christian/Jewish conceptions of God. My only wish would be that it would expound more on the pre-Islamic pagan origins of Allah as the moon god, titled "al-ilah" - which could conceivably be a book in and of itself. Allah's name evolved from the title given all across the Arabian peninsula before Mohammed to various astral deities, primarily lunar deities. There are even stories that can be found in very early Muslim source traditions which refer to pre-Islamic Arabians worshipping in the Kaabah, praying to "allah" while standing before idols of Hubal, a god who at various times was a god of storms, the moon, the sky, etc...

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye opening proofs, great book, July 14, 2005

By	Chris Walker (USA) - See all my reviews

Author has done a great job putting all the evidences of Allah being a different god. She showed from the ten commandment of the Bible that Koran does not even fulfill a single commandment.

Her book has clear proof that Jesus is the same God of Old Testament but Allah is not. Koran breaks the very first commandment of God written in the Bible i.e. "You shall have no other gods before me!"

*Koran also failes to show the way of salvation and eternal life.

*Allah of Koran also failes to give assurance of holy life instead it declared that every Muslim will be going to the hellfire.

Author did a wonderful job of showing great evidence of triune God and how Allah is completely different from the God of the Bible.
