Publisher's Synopsis
"Life was beautiful in Mazar-E-Sharif, Afghanistan, being a kid and enjoying my childhood. . ."
. . . Until an AK-47 claimed eleven-year-old Mohammad Ali's leg-and in 1997, the Taliban claimed his beloved hometown.
Targeted by Mujahudeen warlords and the Taliban, Mohammad's Shiite Muslim family from the Hazara tribe were harassed and tortured, raped, and even killed. He spiraled into suicidal depression while struggling to adjust to life as an amputee and supporting them all.
As the violence and chaos escalated, so did Mohammad's anger and questions. Why, God, does the evil Taliban do bad things and you do
not care? But when Mohammad was finally smuggled into Turkey, he found a Christian church. Then Jesus found him. And nothing was
ever the same.
A Journey of Transformation: From the Heart of Afghanistan is a harrowing story of surviving extreme violence and loss and an inspiring exploration of what it means to find life's true meaning.
