Christianity or Islam: The Contrast - Paperback

Haddad, Katheryn Maddox: - Haddad grew up in Dearborn, Michigan, which, even in the '50s, had the largest Arab population in the United States. Her high school was made up of 1/3 Jews, 1/3 Muslims, and 1/3 Catholics. Later she married Richard Haddad on Windsor, Ontario, Canada, whose Lebanese family had arrived in Canada around 1900. Having grown up freezing in the northern United States, she now lives in Arizona where she doesn't have to shovel sunshine. She basks in 100-degree weather, palm trees, cacti, and a computer with most of the letters worn off. The author of sixty-eight books, both non-fiction and fiction, she sees no letup in the future. For many years, she has been sending out every morning a daily scripture and short inspirational thought to some 30,000 people around the world. Half of her day she spends writing, and the other half teaching English over the internet worldwide using the Bible as textbook. She has taught over 6000 Muslims through World English Institute. Students she has converted to Christianity are in hiding in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Uzbekistan, Somalia, Jordan, Pakistan, Palestine, and Tajikistan. "They are my heroes," she declares. She has taught hundreds of other Muslims who have decided Jesus was more than just a prophet, but who are still coming to grips with it. The more violent Islam becomes, the more good-hearted Muslims are looking elsewhere. With a bachelor's degree in English, Bible and social science from Harding University and part of a master's degree in Bible, including Greek, from the Harding Graduate School of Theology, she also has a master's degree in management and human relations from Abilene University.
