How an American woman risked her life, family and faith to bring Jesus to Muslim women.

"Women began to arrive in the entry hall, peeling away their black outer coverings.  I watched in amazement as shimmering bodies emerged from the black shrouds.  One woman sparkled in a purple silk caftan, her arms gleaming with gold jewelry.  I smiled to myself.  If people only knew what was under those veils.  I looked at their faces, artfully painted with makeup, not at all how they appeared in public:  dark eyes in narrow black slits.  They were like the beauties of Arab folklore.  I was awed by the transformation."

With only prayer and a faith that always seemed too small, Audra Grace Shelby departed with her husband and children on a one-way flight to Yemen...deep into the heart of conservative Islam.

With honesty and passion, she shares her harrowing journey as a Christian woman thrust into a culture dangerously different from her own.  From the friendships she forged, to her gnawing doubt and fear, to her offers of hope when her new friends' religion failed them, she gives us glimpses of a world most have never seen:  behind the veils of real Muslim women - and how the grace of God touches lives in the midst of an Islamic stronghold.
