Summary

Fifteen-year-old Muhammad Arshad’s life is upended after a tragic car accident claims his entire family, forcing him to relocate to New York. In the depths of his loss, he finds solace in Islam, initially turning to his faith for comfort. However, when a shooting at his local masjid shakes his newfound stability, he resolves to take action—determined to represent his religion in the best possible light amid an increasingly Islamophobic United States.His journey chronicles how he rebuilt his life while inspiring those around him through faith, hope, and brotherhood. His organization, SALAAM, became both a tribute to the family he lost and a celebration of the family he gained. As his mission garners worldwide attention, Muhammad is given the opportunity to explore his own history and embark on adventures he once thought impossible.

    He's the black sheep of the family, and she's a chemist who understands formulas, not emotions.  
    Preacher Glover doesn't feel like he fits in the loud, loving Glover family. He's been trying to mend bridges that have been charred and figure out who he really is—and who he wants to be—but it's a slow process that leaves him frustrated and impatient most of the time. 
    Charlie Perkins knows which chemicals mix and which ones cause an explosion. She doesn't understand why her female friends sigh into their sodas on the weekends or why they're not satisfied with having a great career even though they're single. She thinks she doesn't belong in her friend group, and she's looking for something new. 
    When she runs into Preacher at the mall after his cousin's wedding, there's definitely a spark there. She decides to fan it, especially when she learns Preacher plays video games with his family. Charlie soon reveals that she's more than a talented chemist with a side-business of making ice cream with liquid nitrogen. 
    She's a professional video gamer as well. 
    As Preacher starts making the long drive from his ranch to her house to spend time with her, the reaction running through her reminds her of the volatile experiments she performs in the lab. But he always wants to come to her, and he keeps her safely tucked away from the crazy that is the Glover family. 
    She starts to think he's embarrassed of her, when that's not it at all. He's just private when none of the other Glovers are, he's ultra-busy around the ranch, and he's trying to maintain his relationship with her, especially when they don't always agree about things. 
    Because he's been so stubborn about keeping her away from the ranch, something terrible happens one night.... Will everything that Preacher and Charlie have built blow up? Or will they be able to weather this holiday storm and come out a stronger couple?

    Although author Joellen Saddock was raised in a Christian household, she often found herself on the outside of religion looking in. In Christian Awakening, she narrates a coming-of-age story about the way she discovered answers to all her tough religious questions. More than anything, her story exemplifies how God's law actively works to multiply desires and assist in creating a life of possibilities. Her story is about man's mountain-moving potential that has, until now, been obscured by religious hypocrites. Christian Awakening explores the deeper meanings of the Holy Bible, how it parallels other religions, and shares the message of a loving unity between all of God's people. 
    Saddock prods you to set aside the idea that man begins and ends in the confines of his own skin and suggests a broader perspective of what it means that men-of all religious backgrounds-are "given one spirit to drink" (1 Corinthians 12:13). Through an intense scrutinization of many different biblical translations, interwoven between riveting personal experiences, a new message of religious tolerance emerges. Offering a fascinating perspective on Christ's death, Saddock leaves you at the crossroads of the divine, suggesting the time has come to take each other by the hand and greet the dawn of "a new earth in which righteousness dwells" together as one united people (2 Peter 3:13)
