Religion has left an undeniable mark in our world. Some see it as the answer to every problem, while others see it as the problem itself. Simply put, religion is the single greatest force in history. But in a much more intimate sense, what does religion mean to one life?

In this honest, suspenseful, and moving memoir, author David Nasser tells of a life filled with heartbreak and healing. Forced to escape from a country gripped in a religious revolution, David and his family run for their lives in an attempt to find refuge. Through the lens of a terrified boy we see the destructive power of religion and the pull of peer pressure as he tries to fit into a new culture.

Nasser's raw and transparent account of his transition from hating religion to having a living faith in Christ will impact readers from across the religious spectrum. His unflinchingly honest, yet humorous, assessment of the church from an outsider's point of view will both enlighten readers and spur them to renewed and refined outreach.

For anyone who has seen the lie of religion, whether in Iran or Alabama or anywhere in between, Nasser offers the truth of Jesus.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

"I hate religion."

"Why?"

"Because when I was a kid I saw it destroy my country."

. . .

"We saw armed soldiers standing in front of the large auditorium. As soon as we were all in place, one of them yelled, "Attention!" He reached into his pocket, pulled out a sheet of paper, and read three names aloud. My sister and I were on the list. . . .

"The soldier who read our names returned the piece of paper to his pocket, and with the same hand pulled his pistol out of the holster. He took a step toward me and leveled the gun at my forehead. All I could see was the underside of his starched shirtsleeve running from wrist to elbow. The pistol hovered inches from my skull, smelling of machine oil and gunpowder. After a couple of seconds, the barrel started to shake. I lifted my eyes and looked into the eyes of the soldier. He looked terrified. I was terrified. Everyone was terrified. The only thing scarier than a man with a gun in his hand is a man who looks unstable enough to use it."

From the Back Cover

Escaping Religion for the God of Grace

In this honest, suspenseful, and moving memoir, author David Nasser recalls being forced to escape from his native Iran during the 1979 Revolution. Through the lens of a terrified boy you will witness the destructive power of religion and the pull of peer pressure as he tries to fit into a vastly different culture--the American South.

Nasser's raw and transparent account of his transition from hating religion to having a living faith will touch your soul. His unflinchingly honest, yet humorous, assessment of the church from an outsider's point of view is both enlightening and challenging.

Jumping through Fires takes you on a riveting journey from religion and fear to the life-changing discovery of God's grace.

"Whether speaking or writing, David Nasser is quickly rising up as one of today's new relevant voices. This generation demands 'the real,' and in his new book, Jumping through Fires, David Nasser brings the heat."--Toby Mac, recording artist

"David is a great friend who has spoken truth into my life through his ministry." --Mark Hall, Casting Crowns

"Once you open Jumping through Fires, you won't be able to put it down. . . . A life-changing book." --Mac Powell, Third Day

I saw David Nasser speak at a church in NC and was blown away by his story. I immediately bought the book. This is a book that EVERYONE should have in their home library. So seldom that an author can talk about a horrible background without a shred of self-pity or bitterness. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!

A Great story of God's grace and intervention in our lives

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2015

I saw David Nasser at a youth evangelism conference and enjoyed hearing him speak. His testimony was moving and I wanted to read the whole story of how he became who he is today.

I was disappointed the book ended before learning how he became vice president of Liberty College. But it was a great read just the same.

God's grace is amazing!

This is on my top of my list list of very favorite books i've read through! Im not a fast reader and i most often loose interest, but this i read through and could hardly put down. Strait forward, honest, historical, and inspirational!!! I always love our Jesus, but this brought such clarity back into my heart of what our Savior can do :) Much appreciated! This man preached at our church "Shadow Mountain" El Cajon, Ca, and has the great gift of sharing in such a beautiful energetic way. So glad i got to attend and see him in action :)

David Nasser has given many sermons at my church as a visiting speaker and when I found out he had wrote some books... I bought them all! I am a distracted reader most of the time and I read this the entire way through nonstop til i finished it. His testimony of how they came to Jesus and their story is so incredible that it really is mindblowing! So powerful! Praise God for His mighty works in this family and for bringing them to safety! YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS BOOK!

Great read by any measure

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

If you love Iran, or are even just curious about the great land of Persia, this book gives enormous insight into the plight of one family as they try to stay alive and well. They escape Iran, make it to the USA and survive and even prosper. David is good writer, letting us experience the struggles of being an immigrant from a least desired country. He eventually acculturates, but struggles to find meaning. He eventually makes sense of life here, discovering meaning, true happiness and prospering in a holistic way in his new country.

The God of grace and amazing orchestration

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

Having seen a YouTube video of David Nasser sharing his story, I knew immediately I had to search for his book. With humor and truth and a whole lot of perfectly timed events, the author shares the compelling tale of his life; how God rescued a Muslim family from certain death in Iran and brought them to a place of amazing grace as they learned to trust in the truth of the gospel. I was unable to put this book down - an exceptional read I highly recommend.
