Behind the Veils of Yemen: How an American Woman Risked Her Life, Family, and Faith to Bring Jesus to Muslim Women
An Insider's Compelling View of Life in a Muslim Country
When Audra Grace Shelby and her husband felt God calling them to
minister in the Middle East, she was fearful--how would she raise
her children in the heart of conservative Islam?
Armed with prayers and a faith that always seemed too small, the
family made the move to Yemen, enduring deadly illness,
uncertainty, and the unnerving experience of being Christians in an
Islamic culture.
Yet God was at work, and Audra was invited to see what few
Christian women have seen: behind the veils of Muslim women. Here
she shares about the friendships she forged, about the
opportunities to minister when her new friends' hopes shriveled and
their own religion faltered--and how the grace of God touched lives
in the midst of an enemy stronghold. With humor, passion, and
honesty, she shows readers glimpses of life deep in the heart of
Islam and the yearning heart of our loving God.
