Content:

The book explores the incredible work of the Lord in the hearts and lives of women in the Muslim world. In these gripping stories of Christ’s presence straight from the underground church, Pastor Tom Doyle and his wife, JoAnn, show you how women in Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Iran are leading their communities to faith in Jesus.

Despite enormous risks to themselves and their families, former Muslim women are now influencing their husbands and their children and bringing others to faith in Jesus Christ. No matter where they live, these women are the God-ordained spiritual gatekeepers of their families. Even though the level of oppression that women face under Islam is unfathomable to many in non-Muslim nations, these brave women stop at nothing to share their faith.

The authors believe that women are a major reason why more Muslims than ever are coming to faith in Christ. Over the years they have discovered that once God sets a Muslim woman free, she becomes an unstoppable force for God. Women Who Risk takes readers into Muslim homes in Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, and other hot spots to see the power of Christ at work. This book contains inspirational stories straight out of the underground church, examples of the miraculous works of God happening in the Muslim world, the experiences of pastors who have worked for the past twenty-five years in the Middle East, a clear call to action sounding the alarm to the body of Christ, and motivation for all Christians to boldly share their faith with family and friends. The stories of these women are both breathtaking and heart-rending. Living on the edge, these women spread the gospel without fear, and the victory of the gospel is thrilling for all to see.
