THE BLOOD OF LAMBS
By Kamal Saleem

This book reads like a novel but is the true story of the making--and unmaking--of an Islamic terrorist. At the age of 4, Kamal Saleem learned at his mother's table that his highest calling was to be martyred while killing infidels--particularly Americans and Jews.

When he was only 7, he went on his first mission, smuggling weapons into Israel as a child soldier for Yasser Arafat. At age 15, already an explosives expert, he trained international terrorists in the desert camps of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

As a young man, Kamal's reputation for ruthless violence grew, and he pursued the cause of jihad in Paris, London, Afghanistan, and the opulent palaces of Saudi sheikhs, raising millions to fund the Palestine Liberation Organization's exploits in global terror.  Finally, he was sent to infiltrate the United States to convert the weak, the poor, and the needy to radical Islam.

But then, a life-changing crisis caused him to question the worldview he had spent his entire life pursuing.  Through the kindness of strangers, his heart was changed, and he came to know the unconditional love of God.

Review by Helen Blinn

One day I was in the Resource Center looking for something to read. I saw a familiar title and picked it up thinking I knew what it was about. I thought it was a book of daily devotions that I had known about for many years. As I began to look through it I realized I had been completely mistaken. It was a timeless volume expanding on a familiar theme: Galatians 2:20 “It is no longer I that lives but Christ…”

As the introduction to the book states, “There are no obstacles which our Savior’s love cannot overcome."

The High Places of victory and union with Christ can be reached by learning to accept, day by day, the actual conditions and tests permitted by God, by laying down our own will and accepting His.

The lessons of accepting and triumphing over evil, of becoming acquainted with grief and pain, and of finding them transformed into something incomparably precious, these are the lessons of the allegory of this book.

The allegory places the “the seeker,” "Much-Afraid,” in our shoes. As we read, we find ourselves experiencing with her much of what we go through seeking deliverance from the obstacles that would keep us from experiencing the blessed position of Union with Christ.

Someone has said that “Christ wants us to know our oneness with Himself and He will not settle for anything less." Read this precious story and learn what walking with hinds’ feet on high places is all about and how it is an invitation to all who truly seek Oneness with Christ.
