Leaving Islam for Christianity cost her more than she imagined, but gave more than she could have dreamed. Rifqa Bary grew up in a devout Muslim home, obediently following her parents' orders to practice the rituals of Islam. But God was calling her to freedom and love. He was calling her to true faith. He was calling her to give up everything.   Hiding in the Light is the story of Rifqa's remarkable spiritual journey from Islam to Christianity. It is also the untold story of how she ran from her father's threats to find refuge with strangers in Florida, only to face a controversial court case that reached national headlines. Most of all, it is the story of a young girl who made life-changing sacrifices to follow Jesus--and who inspires us to do the same.… (altro)

Rifqa was born in a Muslim world. Her family immigrated to America in 2001. In her teen years, Rifqa converted to Christianity, was threaten by her parents, then ran away from home. ( )

Compelling; the risks of conversion from Islam are real, and especially harsh on children and women. Western assumptions of appropriate behavior from a father / husband to his family are not accurate when a Muslim man is shamed by his family's behavior.

An important story and an absorbing read. Ms. Bary reminded me how often I don't pick up my Bible because I take for granted it will be where I left it (in plain view, no need to hide). Grateful she now lives in freedom. Convicted to pray for those who still don't and to persevere in my own walk with Jesus.

Four stars for the story. The writing could stand to be more nuanced, but when I did some basic math and realized the author was 22 at the time the book was published, the style made more sense. Definitely a worthy read. ( )

In Schuilen in het licht: waarom ik alles riskeerde om de islam te verlaten en christen te worden (vertaling van Hiding in the Light), vertelt Rifqa Bary over haar jeugd in als moslima. Haar familie verruilde Sri-Lanka voor de Verenigde Staten, met Ohio als nieuwe thuisbasis. Via een vriendschap komt de nog jonge tiener Rifqa in contact met een christenmeisje die haar uitnodigt mee te gaan naar bijeenkomsten. Het contrast tussen het nieuwgevonden geloof in een liefhebbende Jezus en de vrijheid Hem te aanbidden in je eigen woorden, en de gevoelloze religieuze islamitische plichten, in combinatie met huiselijk geweld tegenover Rifqa en haar moeder, de onderdrukking van vrouwen en de predestinate als kinderen barende verder rechteloze, wordt per week groter. Hoewel ze het geheim van haar leven als christen een tijd kan verbergen - Bijbel verstopt, christelijke termen in codetaal gebruiken en natuurlijk geen gelovigen uitnodigen thuis te komen, komt het uit. Haar vader zweert eerwraak. Om de dood te ontvluchten en God niet te verloochenen, ontsnapt ze met hulp van christenen naar Florida.

Wat zou de (christelijke) lezer daar graag een eind goed, al goed verwachten. Niet dus. Wat volgt is gevangenzetting, een juridisch steekspel tussen ouders en voogdij, jurisdictie uitoefenende staten en aangezwengelde media-aandacht. Het lijden om Christus' naam is zowel geestelijk als fysiek een uitputtingsslag, met wonderbaarlijke uitreddingen. Schuilen in het licht is daarmee een hart onder de riem van rechtelozen en onderdrukten, een getuigenis van Gods ingrijpen in mensenlevens en de groeiproces om christelijke principes als naastenliefde, vergeving en geduld te leren praktiseren. De controverse in Amerika in 2009 rond de rechtzaak van de toen nog 16-17 jarige Rifqa is destijds volledig aan mijn aandacht ontsnapt. Hoe geboeid heb ik anders in één dagdeel het boek eind 2016 zitten lezen! ( )
