A former Muslim describes his encounter with the beauty and truth of the Holy Scriptures
by Wissam—
Ramadan Mubarek. This month of fasting is an especially good time to think about the reasons for true and genuine faith. True faith is not something you're just born into. It's something you have to choose. That's my belief. When I discovered the Bible I found all the things for which my soul was yearning and the strong reasons to redirect my faith. This is my story.
In the pages of the Bible I found beauty, goodness, truth, and the supernatural. I realized that this book was the source of all the beauty I had been longing for. But the Bible is not only beautiful it is good, the source of the highest virtues of humanity. And the Bible is true, packed full of historical and geographical facts. Moreover, the Bible is supernatural. In it the holy men of God gave prophecies well in advance and performed miracles in public, with confident language that is too broad in scope, far-reaching, and personal for anyone not to feel directly addressed by its message. Have you read the Bible, or even the New Testament?
