Summary
From her balcony in Pakistan, Nikki Kingsley imagined ending it all. Trapped in an arranged marriage, confined to her home, and living in a culture where she could not leave the house without permission, she felt utterly hopeless. Something had to change.
After a daring escape to America, Nikki turned to Allah for comfort and spiritual strength. But her journey took an unexpected turn when she began receiving locutions from Jesus and Mary, messages that revealed the faith she had been raised in did not fully reflect the depth and reality of God’s love.
In this powerful testimony, you will hear the extraordinary story of a woman who risked everything to follow Christ. Her testimony offers both a powerful witness to the truth present in the Christian faith and a sobering look at the unseen challenges faced by many Muslim women around the world.
