NEW RESOURCE FOR REACHING MUSLIMS FOR CHRIST -– Lust Under the Veil is a new fiction work by writer Um Daoud, who has lived and worked among Muslims for over 15 years. The story is about a young woman named Emira, who is looking for a way of escape from the secluded life she leads as the only daughter of a Muslim sheik. Freedom does come but not in the way that Emira planned. While the book can be an enlightening read for the Christian audience, it is also an effective tool for reaching Muslim readers as well. Lust Under the Veil by Um Daoud is available in English through Amazon.com, XulonPress.com, and other online distributors. ISBN: 1-591606-54-3. Paperback; 352 pages. For questions or comments, contact Um Daoud at UmDaoud2004(at)yahoo(dot)com [replace (at) with @ and (dot) with .].
