Imagine growing up poor in Iran during the 1960’s. Iran was considered an Islamic country even then. In Islam, Allah is the creator of every calamity and the source of all pain. Life for anyone under the principles of the Quran is difficult.
This is exactly where Daniel Shayesteh found himself in the late 1900’s. He lived through and participated in the uprising against the Shah and was present for the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini to power and the implementation of sharia law under Islamic authoritarianism.
In his book The House I Left Behind: A Journey From Islam To Christ he takes you through that historic period of time where Islam extremism took full control of Iran and how the religion actually treats its followers. This book will open your eyes to the firsthand experiences of a Muslim in an Islamic country to a refugee in Turkey to a beloved brother in Christ, and hopefully will help you understand the threat Islam poses, the deceitful tactics it uses to obtain power, and allow you to see the need for salvation among those trapped in that system.
