Ahmed Joktan

Mecca In My Wake Ahmed Joktan

One night changed everything. On September 11, 2001, young Ahmed watched his cousins and tribesmen murder nearly three thousand infidels in the name of Allah, the god of Islam. As he filled the Saudi Arabian sky with bullets and triumphant shouts of Allahu Akbar! (Allah is the greatest), this son of a Meccan Mufti made a pledge to follow in his family's footsteps, to bring swift retribution upon the unbelievers through jihad, and so buy his way into paradise. One night changed all of that. On the Ramadan Night of Destiny, his doors were suddenly flung open and a blinding light stepped forth, calling, "Come to me!" Believing he had seen Satan, Ahmed went searching for answers and soon found the true, living God: Jesus Christ. But the darkness poisoning his homeland is great, and Ahmed quickly found that the cross of Christ is a crosshair marking him for death. Now on the run across the world, Ahmed must outsmart unfriendly eyes and dodge bullets-but, no matter what happens, he will never renounce his Savior or close his lips from preaching the Gospel...even if it costs him his life.
