Publisher's Summary

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)

A wonderful, inspiring, and encouraging testimony

I absolutely loved listening to this book. I actually wanted to read it in 2011 but couldn't get this book in the store. Now, in 2023, after all these years, I'm so glad that I've found this beautiful testimony and the fragrance of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. I recommend this book to all those who seek to walk with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amazing

A great story of a person who loved the Lord God Almighty but it saddens me know that people get killed for the sake of religion.
