Abstract
Dr. Daniel Shayesteh's life journey took him from Islam to Christ. He was raised a practicing Muslim in Iran, involved in the Iranian Islamic Revolution and Muslim politics. When he lost favor with extremists, survived death row, but was released, and escaped to Turkey, he found Christians who led him to Christ. Here his story gives insights into the culturally rich Iran, its clash with Islamic culture, and the threat of radical Islam in the world.
