Summary: A Muslim Who Became A Christian
Review: This is a great story of a Muslim Mullah, a descendant of the prophet Mohamed. How one day as he was visiting a reletive he found a copy of the gospels. He opened it up and read where Jesus said that He was the son of God. Because the Koran teaches that Jesus was a prophet, and because it teaches that prophets can not lie he knew that there was some mistake! He then searches for a copy of the Turkish transalation of the Bible and when he finds it he reads it from cover to cover, believing all that was written in it. He gives up his job as a Mullah, and his fiancee, for she will not leave the "religion of her father". With the desire to tell his own people, the Muslims, about Jesus he studies at several theology schools. He then is sent by the Swedish Mission to go to Eastern Turkestan with a Swede and an Armenian. His fellow missionaries return soon after they arrive however as the Russian official said that Missionarie work was impossible in that province. John goes on anyway, becoming the first protestant missionary to that part of the world. When he wished for a furlogh the Swedish Mission decided that he had to resign. So when he was back west again he joined a german mission and served Jesus in Bulgaria, printing several periodicals for the Turkish people. He also gets the New Testament that he had transalated into Kashgari (Uighur) printed.
