- Latest Review: The Unfakeable Code® by Tony Jeton Selimi
- Signature Addition: Jenna Padayachee
The agreement of Abboo with the support of the initial finances to send Master to America was a powerful pivotal point ( the beginning of many), this and a few other moments in the book depict a universal truth in that we are all in the position to change our lives, despite circumstances at any given moment in time.
Master's love for America and his views on Pakistani politics and the Muslim religion may rub certain people practicing Islam/ similar structured religions and politics the wrong way, extremely. This is evident in his own story when he goes to Pakistan after accepting Christianity, the reaction of his family, friends, and society depicts this reality.
He also points out in the book the volume of attention he received from those in the Christian faith, as they were very fascinated by his transition from Islam to Christianity.
The most significant difference in both these religious books is the role of Jesus ( the common narrative being the basis arising from Old Testament scriptures).
Ali greatly celebrates ( towards the latter pages of the book), his life achievements, relationships, and purpose in his newfound Christian faith which he also views as being interwoven into the American Dream / American Constitution.
I do believe there will be those who will avoid this subject and therefore not access this book
, as there will be those,
who are curious to genuinely find an understanding of Master's experience ( despite different religious and political backgrounds).
Considering the above, I conclude that this book will be well received by those who are open enough to explore it to understand Master's interesting life account and when they do, they will no doubt find a wealth of inspiration from his ability to follow his heart and purpose in life, despite all challenges presented to him ( I found a lot of nuggets of wisdom and inspiration from it).
