From the Curse to the Cross: How Jesus Saved a Muslim From the Curse

by Rose Masih

In From the Curse to the Cross: How Jesus Saved a Muslim Woman from the Curse, Rose Masih shares her powerful journey from a life cursed with fear and loneliness to one of freedom and salvation. Growing up as a Muslim woman, Masih was burdened by the weight of her gender and the never-ending tasks required to earn her place in heaven. Once proud of Islam, Masih yearned inside for comfort, peace and purpose.

After an overwhelming encounter with Jesus Christ upon walking into a local church, Masih felt the chains of her past begin to break. Through learning about him and proclaiming him as the one true God, she discovered a sense of freedom and redemption in her newfound faith. Masih, now a dedicated Christian who holds a master of divinity, has spent more than two decades teaching, preaching and sharing the gospel around the world.

From the Curse to the Cross is Masih’s personal testimony, from a staunch believer in Islam to a follower of Christ, and she bravely recounts her childhood and challenges former beliefs. The book begins with a prayer for all those who read it: “I pray that you will find the truth you are seeking in Jesus Christ, and this truth will set you free. I pray that you will be free from the fear of hell and that you will know that you are being justified before God because of his Son, Jesus Christ.” Masih invites Muslims and Christians alike to explore the transformative power of Jesus.

This book will interest Salvationists, evangelists and anyone who seeks the truth about how God can work in their own lives.

From the Curse to the Cross is available to purchase on Amazon.ca.

Testament: The Story of Moses

Testament: The Story of Moses is a three-part documentary miniseries that explores the life of Moses (Avi Azulay), from an outcast to a prophet. Divided into three parts—“The Prophet,” “The Plague” and “The Promised Land”—the series begins with Moses’ infancy and encounter with Pharaoh’s daughter, to his eventual role as a prophet and leader of the Israelites. It tells Moses’ redemption story, sharing the humanity, struggles and self-doubt that he faces as he lives out his purpose for God.

Directed by Benjamin Ross and narrated by Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), this series weaves together dramatic re-enactments of well-known Scripture with interviews with theologians and historians. What sets Testament: The Story of Moses apart is its presentation of a balanced perspective on Moses’ story, drawing insights from theologians of Abrahamic religions—Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths—as well as academic experts in history, archeology and Egyptology. Through their interviews, the series explores the contemporary relevance of Moses’ journey, touching on themes of social justice, identity and resilience.

“Moses was deeply flawed and extraordinarily resilient,” says Rabbi Maurice Harris, author of Moses: A Stranger Among Us, in the first episode of the series. “He was conflicted about his identity; he was an adopted child. He was a person with a criminal record. He was homeless for part of his life. And his failures teach us as much as his achievements.”

“The God of Scripture is a God who specializes in taking broken things and not just fixing them but repurposing them for something even greater,” says Tom Kang, lead pastor at NewStory Church in Los Angeles.

Testament: The Story of Moses became a top show on Netflix within days of its release, helping to popularize biblical narratives beyond the well-known birth and Crucifixion of Jesus. Throughout each episode, Scripture references are included on-screen to provide viewers with access to biblical narratives, a helpful tool whether you are familiar with the story or wanting to open a Bible to learn more about it. It serves as a gateway for individuals of all backgrounds to explore themes of faith, redemption and human struggle through rich storytelling and insights. 

Testament: The Story of Moses is available to watch on Netflix.
