Freedom Fighter: One Man's Fight for One Free World

by Majed El Shafie

Overview

It’s time to fight back!

This is the true story of one man’s continuing fight for a world free of religious persecution. Majed El Shafie was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to die after he converted from Islam to Christianity. His dramatic story, and those of others worldwide who are suffering persecution, are told in shocking, yet sensitive detail. Especially startling is the true story of rescuing a very young Pakistani girl who experienced horrific sexual abuse—because her family would not convert to Islam. Although hard to imagine and even harder to accept, this important truth about religious persecution is blatantly exposed. Millions of families are praying for help. They are suffering daily in China, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, and many other countries—solely because of their beliefs. Freedom Fighter is Reverend El Shafie’s outreach—it follows his heroic work over a four-year period as he traveled to Pakistan and Afghanistan to investigate claims of abuse, persecution, and slavery and to speak truth to governments that neglect and violate the human rights of their citizens. This fight involves all believers—please help.

Editorial Reviews

"Majed El Shafie is a rare human being. Having survived extreme persecution and torture for his faith in Jesus, he has devoted his life to rescuing others who are also being persecuted for their faith, often putting his own life on the line to do so. What could be more Jesus-like? I admire his courage and find it enticingly contagious!"
 -- Sid Roth - Host, It’s Supernatural! television program




"With his film, Freedom Fighter, and now its subsequent book, Majed El Shafie has done another service to the many families and people around the world who are viciously persecuted because of their religious faith."
-The Honourable Jason Kenney
Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism
