"Miriam Adeney lifts the veil that has obscured the faces of Muslim women and reveals their variety. With anthropological skill she details the everyday lives those faces express. And with spiritual sensitivity she describes how each looked through another--torn--veil to see the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

—J. Dudley Woodberry, dean emeritus and professor of Islamic studies, School of World Mission, Fuller Theological Seminary

"For too long the world of Muslim women has been shrouded in silence and darkness to most Christians in the West. Miriam Adeney has lifted the veil on their world and the ways in which the light of the gospel touches them with hope. Their stories bring the women into our lives so that they seem to jump up from the pages, insisting that we listen to their hearts and take seriously their spiritual journey."

—Kay F. Rader, former world president of women's organizations for the Salvation Army

Their clothing is often distinctive. Their values are strongly held. They love their families. They comprise nearly one-tenth of the world's population, and they live everywhere around the globe.

These are women of Muslim background. Many still belong to Islam, but some now belong to Christ.

In Daughters of Islam Miriam Adeney introduces you to women like Ladan, Khadija and Fatma. You'll learn about their lives, questions and hopes. You'll learn how they are both representative of and unique among their Arab, Iranian, Southeast Asian and African sisters. And you'll discover what has drawn them to Christ.

Adeney explores the many interwoven threads that make up daily experience for Ladan, Khadija, Fatma and their sisters, including:

• sexuality, singleness and marriage
• children and extended family
• finances
• religious tradition and practice
• teaching and learning styles

As you enter into the lives of Ladan, Khadija and Fatma, you'll gain insight into how to relate to other women of Muslim background--and how to introduce them to Christ.
