". . . An easily read, easy to understand book that gives plenty of information as well as great real life stories of women who found Christ despite the oppressing nature and fear of the religion."--Teen4Jesus 2004-06-03
An unprecedented, sympathetic, and wide-ranging exploration of the mysterious world of Islamic women—the people behind the veils—by female writers and Christian workers.
More than half a billion women live their lives peering out from behind heavy veils. Their lives are mysterious, misunderstood, and often marked by great persecution and hopelessness.
This groundbreaking book written by women intimately familiar with the world of Islam, draws back the covering on every stage and aspect of life for the Muslim woman—as a child, wife, mother, sister, and religious adherent.
The contributors, ranging from missionaries in Islamic countries, to reporters and former Muslims, paint a powerful picture of what it means to be a voice behind the veil.
