How do I give myself to God completely? What happens when I do?

This is a book for everyone who has ever asked these questions.

I Dared to Call Him Father is the fascinating true story of Bilquis Sheikh, a prominent Muslim woman in Pakistan who faced these questions at the crossroads of her life and found the astonishing answers. Her unusual journey to a personal relationship with God turned her world upside down - and put her life in danger - as a series of strange dreams launched her on a quest that would forever consume her heart, mind, and soul.

Originally published in 1978, the book has sold 300,000 copies and is a classic in Muslim evangelism.

Bilquis Sheikh came from a family in Pakistan that held government power for seven hundred years. She was also the wife of a high ranking government official in Pakistan. She gave her life to Jesus Christ in 1966. In 1972, sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse, she resettled in the United States, where she spoke widely and shared her faith with many. Years later she returned to Pakistan, where she died in 1997. She was given a Christian funeral.

Critic reviews

I Dared to Call Him Father is a fascinating autobiography that challenged me in my walk with God. How many of us would be true to our faith if we knew that embracing Christianity could be our death sentence?” (Mary Ann Littrell, Christian Librarian)

this true story will profoundly move you and you will forever be changed by the way the Lord our Father works, it is so very humbling the way in which Bilquis shows us how to stay in the glory of God. I treasure her story as much as I treasure Corrie TenBooms from her boom The Hidding Place.

glorious

This is a beautiful story of a high ranking Pakistani woman who at 54 turned from her family religion to Jesus.

it is an unusual and beautifully told story revealing how God deals with us individually. For me it was encouraging and I am grateful to have listened to this story.

I highly recommend

This book is a wonderful treasure to read and it has challenged me to question my own need to be in relationship with Christ once again as I have walked away because of persecution from my own family for seeking to live a godly life in Christ. It’s a book that will always be close to my heart.

Inspiring read
