Women Who Risk

Secret Agents for Jesus in the Muslim World

By: Tom Doyle, JoAnn Doyle, Greg Webster

Narrated by: Tom Doyle, JoAnn Doyle

Explore the incredible work of the Lord in the hearts and lives of women in the Muslim world! In these gripping stories of Christ's presence straight from the underground church, Pastor Tom Doyle and his wife, JoAnn, show you how women in Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Iran are leading their communities to faith in Jesus—and how you can too!

Despite enormous risks to themselves and their families, former Muslim women are now influencing their husbands and their children and bringing others to faith in Jesus Christ. No matter where they live, these women are the God-ordained spiritual gatekeepers of their families. Even though the level of oppression that women face under Islam is unfathomable to many in non-Muslim nations, these brave women stop at nothing to share their faith.

The Doyles believe that women are a major reason why more Muslims than ever are coming to faith in Christ. Over the years they have discovered that once God sets a Muslim woman free, she becomes an unstoppable force for God. Women Who Risk takes readers into Muslim homes in Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, and other hot spots to see the power of Christ at work. This incredible book contains:

• Inspirational stories straight out of the underground church—stories you don’t get on the news
• Examples of the miraculous works of God happening in the Muslim world
• The experiences of pastors who have worked for the past twenty-five years in the Middle East
• A clear call to action sounding the alarm to the body of Christ
• Motivation for all Christians to boldly share their faith with family and friends

The stories of these women are both breathtaking and heart-rending. Living on the edge, these women spread the gospel without fear, and the victory of the gospel is thrilling for all to see. If you’re wondering if God still performs miracles or are afraid your life can't make an impact, then this is the book for you.

Critic reviews

'Eye-opening, awe-inspiring, praise-evoking--Women Who Risk is an exhilarating peek behind the veil to see how, despite the danger, Jesus is reaching and empowering Muslim women to live for him. Let our friends, Tom and JoAnn, take you on an exhilarating journey of discovery that will enrich your faith and encourage your soul. You'll be riveted and enthralled by these astounding stories!' --Lee and Leslie Strobel, authors, Spiritual Mismatch and The Case for Christ

'For many years we have read books aloud together in the evenings. Among the very best and most edifying have been the works of Tom Doyle. But with the release of Women Who Risk, Tom, now joined by JoAnn, have outdone themselves. The book reads like an adventure novel--fast-paced, intriguing, spiritually edifying, and faith building. We couldn't put it down.' --J. P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University; and Hope Moreland

'I love the stories in this book--many of which brought tears to my eyes--as they are snapshots of what God is doing among the Muslim women in the Middle East today. Jesus is pouring His special grace on Muslim women because He came to set the captives free, and in Islam, it is the women who are oppressed and treated as slaves. The greatest weapon we have against the dark spirit of Islam is love.' --Hormoz Shariat, president, Iran Alive Ministries; and Donnell Shariat

'Like war correspondents, Tom and JoAnn Doyle report from behind enemy lines about the spiritual combat conditions we, who live under a Declaration of Independence, cannot comprehend. Women Who Risk is not fiction. These are all real-life stories that have been lived out in the midst of savage brutality and unmitigated evil. There is a higher battle than the ones played out in the Middle East today. It's a battle for human souls. Here is wrenching fear and pain transformed to ecstatic joy, a gritty, compelling account of our world God calls us Christians to confront with His transforming power.' --Jeanne Hendricks, speaker, author, and wife of the late Dr. Howard Hendricks

'No couple has inspired us more than Tom and JoAnn Doyle as they fearlessly and faithfully walk side-by-side into the darkest places on earth. All to share Christ with those who desperately need to hear it and in places no one else has dared to go. Their riveting stories will open your eyes to the pain and ignite your passion to join Christ in His mighty work of saving, healing, and loving the Muslim world.' --Jason Elam, special ambassador, Bible translation, Seed Company, and former NFL kicker; and Tamy Elam, advocate, Seed Company
