[Day 29] “I have also spoken of the profound love which God has given me for the Jewish people when Israeli soldiers were controlling my identity papers in Jerusalem.” He has found it possible to love Muslims and Jews
[Day 25] Khalid was then secretly welcomed into an assembly of believers. This is not always the case.
