A wind is blowing through the House of Islam. The House of Islam, or Dar al-Islam in Arabic, is the name Muslims give to an invisible religious empire that stretches from West Africa to the Indonesian archipelago, encompassing 49 nations and 1.6 billion Muslims.

Researcher and author David Garrison asked a thousand Muslim-background believers in Christ one simple question: "Tell me your story. What did God use to bring you to faith in Jesus Christ?"

The answers are recorded in Garrison's book, A Wind in the House of Islam: How God is Drawing Muslims Around the World to Faith in Jesus Christ.
