What made the experience of listening to Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus the most enjoyable?

This book really struck a chord with me in so many ways. First, having Nabeel narrate this book IS THE BEST PART. It feels like you are sitting there listening to a friend tell you his life story. I do not think I would have gotten near as much out of reading it for myself, which is usually my preference. Second, Nabeel's struggle with his faith, his sincere desire to know God, the struggle with his own doubts and the heartbreaking clash between his understanding that accepting truth meant abondoning life as he knows it gave me such insight and understanding, but most of all compassion, for the battle that many face in the "simple" decision to acknowledge Christ. I have faced similar doubts and prayed similar prayers, as someone who wants to know God and truth, in a more intimate way, and in this way, his story encouraged me to continue seeking God with all of my heart. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone to gain a better understanding of the real struggle that takes place in the lives of American Muslims and to see the many similarities, yet striking differences in the Middle Eastern vs Western worldviews.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Nabeel. Just listen, and you'll know why.

Where does The Knighting of Sir Kaye rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I don't usually listen to audio books, but this one was a life-saver! Right after purchasing, my kids came down with the flu...we sat and listened together on the edge of our seats! They absolutely loved it, as did I, and they've already started listening to it again!

What did you like best about this story?

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the fact that this was a fun (and wholesome) story that was TOTALLY age appropriate for my 9-year-old son, but was still completely enjoyed by my 8-year-old daughter as well! As a mother, I loved that the hero (Sir Kaye) has no "super-powers" or magic, but depends totally on his intelligence, strength of character, and a strange talent (don't want to kill any surprises!) to defeat the kingdom's villains.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene was the rescue of Prince "Bo" from the bunglers and the last day of the tournament.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was particularly moved by two scenes: 1. When Sir Kaye was competing in the tournament against his main adversary and he made the decision to rescue Melcor's squire, knowing that it may cost him the victory. 2. When he chose to rescue the same person that had bullied him, "because it was the right thing to do."

Any additional comments?

I so appreciate someone who has finally written a book that appeals to a boy's sense of honor and "manhood" in such a positive way. This book has values and moral lessons intertwined with humor and adventure that are so refreshingly age appropriate. We (me and my kids) cannot wait for the next book, and we hope that there are many more! Thanks, Mr. Winn!
