In It Is Your Time To Follow Me, Thomas Samuel describes his gut-wrenching conversion experience from radical Salafi Islam to becoming a follower of Jesus Christ.
From a young age, Thomas was a devout Muslim who memorized the entire Quran, led prayer in the mosque, and dreamed of jihad and martyrdom. However, his life was turned radically upside down when Jesus came to him in a series of dreams, setting in motion a chain of events that would ultimately cause him to rebel and leave Islam while searching for truth in various world religions, none of which brought peace to his tormented soul.
Thomas offers a window deep into the daily life, faith, and worldview of the Salafi community. He also outlines the moral, historical, and philosophical problems he found in the Quran and the earliest biography of Muhammad. These inconsistencies caused him to leave Islam and run for his life to Jesus.
It Is Your Time To Follow Me is an incredible story of a man desperate for truth who finds forgiveness and spiritual freedom through Jesus Christ while investigating the historical reliability of the Christian faith.
"I could not put this book down. In fact, I kept interrupting my wife to share with her about Thomas's story! This is one of the most compelling conversion stories I have heard in a long time. It is honest, interesting, and thought-provoking." - Sean McDowell
"God used his Muslim background, his doubts, his rebellion, his visions of Jesus, and Christian apologetics to bring him to where he is today. I pray that God will use Thomas's story to point many to Christ..." - Paul Copan
"When I first met Thomas Samuel, I could see that this was a man who had met Jesus. In subsequent conversations with him, I became keenly aware that God intended to use him for kingdom work. I wholeheartedly commend this book to those who want to understand Islam better and see how the power of Christ can transform committed Muslims into powerful servants of our Savior!" - Mike Licona
