Ishmael Redeemed: Called to the Kingdom

Lighthouse Faith

Show Notes

In 1985, when Kamal Saleem arrived in the United States, he intended to conquer the West in the name of radical Islam. What Kamal didn't intend was that a tragic accident and a divine encounter with Christian medical professionals would permanently alter the course of his life. "The love and sacrificial giving of these men," says Kamal, caused him "to cry out to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, acknowledging his need for the Savior".

Kamal Saleem, founder of Koome Ministries, talks about his belief in "the One True and Living God," Jesus, and introduces his book, Ishmael Redeemed: Called to the Kingdom. The book explores how the biblical divide between Ishmael and Isaac correlates directly with the religious divides in today's culture. Kamal explains that his objective is "to unveil the beautiful truth of God’s original plans for the tribes of Ishmael (the Muslim people) and expose the ugly truth concerning the true agenda of radical Islam".
