In the dusty, Islamic country of Sudan, Mia's life collides with that of another young woman. A young Christian American mother, Mia finds more than one dark secret on the streets of Khartoum. She finds Halimah, a young, upper-class Arab student with a bright future in her family's business whose risky and secretive decision has put her life in danger. What happens when the path of young mother intersects with that of a spunky Sudanese student? God transforms them both . . . forever.
*My Review*
"Side by Side" is a book that I won't forget very easily. It is an interesting book that is defiantly eye-opening. It showe the perspectives of both a Muslim woman and an American woman living in Sudan and how they're paths eventually cross.

The spiritual content of the story is wonderful as some of the characters share their faith while Halimah learns and reads on her own, too. There is so much prayer involved.
There is a bit of a suspenseful feel to the story because you don't know if/when Halimah could be found out or the risks Mia and Halimah take in sharing their faith.
I recommend this book if you are wanting to know more about the many persecuted Christians find themselves in or what living in an Islam-controlled country would be like. It's a good reminder to pray for all involved.
Many times while reading this book, I would stop and just pray for one of our American Pastor's, Saeed Abedini who is in prison right now(and has been for the past several years) because he refuses to deny Jesus.
