Author Biography

Mosab Hassan (Joseph) Yousef is the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding leader of Hamas, internationally recognized as a terrorist organization and responsible for countless suicide bombings and other deadly attacks against Israel. An integral part of the movement, Mosab was imprisoned several times by the Israeli internal intelligence service and ultimately embarked on a six-year spiritual quest that jeopardized Hamas, endangered his family, and threatened his life. He has since embraced the teachings of Jesus and been granted political asylum in America. Ron Brackin has traveled extensively in the Middle East as an investigative journalist and has contributed articles and columns to many publications, including USA Today and the Washington Times.
