Synopsis

A true story of a young woman’s courageous decision to leave Islam and follow Jesus – no matter the cost.

In 2009, sixteen-year-old Rifqa Bary made national news when she ran away from her Ohio home, claiming that her father, an observant Muslim, had abused and threatened to kill her for her Christian faith. The media storm pitted critics of Islam against its defenders, sparking national debate about the treatment of women and converts within Islam and how they should be protected.

In Hiding in the Light, Rifqa Bary recounts in riveting detail the events leading up to her decision to leave home and the chain of events that followed. Her story challenges us to consider what it means to sacrifice for faith and to ask ourselves how far we would go to live out what we believe.
