Christianbook.com"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
"Miriam Adeney has come up with a great and timely book on ministering to Muslim women. This book is rich with case studies of Muslim women who have come to the Lord Jesus in various regions of the world. And it is rich in missiological insights for those desiring to work with Muslim women in a spectrum of ethnic settings."
—Don McCurry, president of Ministries to Muslims
"At last the book I have been waiting for! Yes, Muslim women are coming to faith in Christ. Miriam Adeney has given us fascinating accounts of their paths to Christ and highlighted the reasons for their faith. I find the ethnographic material and the missiological suggestions to be perceptive and helpful for all who are drawn to love and minister to these women. I highly recommend Daughters of Islam to both students and experienced workers."
—Donna Smith, women's ministries consultant to Arab World Ministries
"Miriam Adeney writes with unusual clarity and persuasiveness to dispel long-held misguided notions about Muslim women. She applies her anthropological and missionary insights and experiences to bring hope and guidance to those who long to see these women come to Jesus. Readers will be inspired and richly rewarded by her passion and practicality."
—Jim Reapsome, editor at large, Evangelical Missions Quarterly
"Miriam always likes to ask the question no one else is asking! This book does just that--challenging and encouraging those who desire to understand Muslim women. With her rich crosscultural background, as well as her training in both journalism and anthropology, Miriam Adeney is uniquely qualified to bring together insights on these women's world and worldview. This long anticipated study brings her fresh perspective to current discussions."
—Meg Crossman, director of Perspectives Partnership
"Miriam Adeney, a gifted storyteller, has woven together riveting tales of Muslim women from around the world. This book is packed full of up-to-date information on the Muslim world and draws the reader into seeing that world through the eyes and from behind the veils of Muslim women. Adeney's training as an anthropologist is evident in her rich ethnographic description of Muslim life, but her commitment as a missiologist pushes her beyond fascinating description to help the reader understand how to engage these women with the liberating and transforming power of the gospel. The missiological world has been waiting for this book for a long time, and now that it is here, one can't help but believe that this is another kairos moment for our sisters in the Muslim world."
—Darrell Whiteman, professor of cultural anthropology and dean, E. Stanley Jones School of World Mission and Evangelism, Asbury 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
"In our world of high abstractions, broad generalizations and stereotypes, it is a blessing to see a work, like Scripture, that talks about real people and helps us experience and learn from their lives. Miriam Adeney introduces us to Christian women from Muslim backgrounds, and she masterfully helps us understand the high costs of their conversions and witness. These stories not only inform us, they challenge us in our complacent Christian lives to identify with our sisters--and to recommit ourselves to a radical commitment to our one Lord. This book is a model in helping us develop an awareness of the nature of the worldwide church."
—Paul G. Hiebert, professor of mission and anthropology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
"Miriam Adeney's careful study of daughters of Islam exposes the reader to the commonalities and diversities of Muslim women worldwide. She stirs our hearts with the experiences of those who have found in Christ a loving Savior and offers suggestions for our use in ministry and witness."
—Dellanna O'Brien, executive director (retired) of the Woman's Missionary Union
"Absolutely packed with fascination. Often gripping drama. It is the work of one of the most significant missiologists today. Thus it is also weighty with striking insight and sensitivity. Focuses on a large and unknown world in which ordinary American intuition is worth practically nothing. More of a revelation than an education! Men had better read this too."
—Ralph D. Winter, general director of Frontier Mission Fellowship
