Love Casts Out Fear: A Jihad Survivor’s Journey From Revenge to Redemption tells Brother Nathan’s incredible story. Though the pain of witnessing his father’s murder initially stirred up his anger, hatred, and desire for revenge, God’s work in his life shows the powerful capability of love and forgiveness. His story is very inspiring, as well as important, and I couldn’t stop reading it - I recommend it.As a boy in Egypt, Brother Nathan witnessed an unthinkable attack on his father, a Christian pastor in a majority-Muslim country.
