An Excellent Companion Book to Project Lina

Review by Umm K. on 15 Aug 2024review stating An Excellent Companion Book to Project LinaI was hooked from the opening paragraph! This is a lovely book of convert stories from around the world, followed by a series of practical tips for implementing Islam in our lives.

As a North American convert myself, I've heard so many stories similar to my own. What I particularly loved about this book was reading stories from European Read more about review stating An Excellent Companion Book to Project Lina

and Asian converts. It really broadened my world view and opened my eyes to the myriad of challenges faced by other convert sisters: especially those coming from outside of the Abrahamic faith tradition. The stories are a mix of uplifting, heart-breaking, inspiring, and gut-wrenching tales; but each one ends on a positive note, with a take-away that's certain to hit hard and stick with you.

The second half of the book focuses on practical ways to implement Islam in our lives. It's very friendly and "new Muslim" focused. As I was reading along, I couldn't help but think of what an awesome companion book this would be to Project Lina. While both books are written from the female perspective, I do think male converts would also enjoy and benefit from the reads. I can definitely see myself going back to this book, again & again, for beautiful reminders and inspiration. Highly recommend it!
