Reddit mentions of No God but One: Allah or Jesus?: A Former Muslim Investigates the Evidence for Islam and Christianity

Check out Dr. Brant Pitre's [The Case for Jesus] (https://www.amazon.com/Case-Jesus-Biblical-Historical-Evidence/dp/0770435483) and Nabeel Qureshi's books [Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus] (https://www.amazon.com/Seeking-Allah-Finding-Jesus-Christianity/dp/0310527236) and [No God but One: Allah or Jesus?] (https://www.amazon.com/God-but-One-Investigates-Christianity/dp/0310522552/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RQKED6JFR7154CQFB370)

As for Bible difficulties, Trent Horn's [Hard Sayings] (https://www.amazon.com/Hard-Sayings-Catholic-Answering-Difficulties/dp/1941663745/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492022538&sr=8-1&keywords=hard+sayings).

Also give [this] (https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/the-great-and-enduring-heresy-of-mohammed) and [this] (https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/asking-the-right-question-about-islams-god). You can also browse that site, as it will help.


Christianity rises or falls on the resurrection. Start [here] (http://www.peterkreeft.com/topics-more/resurrection-evidence.htm) and [here] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ErnJF_nwBk&list=PL1mr9ZTZb3TUYymBPce08oyuhnHLLkR_B) for some info on it; NT Wright has a book on it that is supposed to be good but I haven't read it.

I understand that there might not be many Christians in your area, but you might want to find a local parish priest and talk to him. He can give you a lot of advice. Also, feel free to PM me as I am also a convert (not from Islam, however).

Part 3: Book recommendations:

If you want to dig deep into this topic, here are some book recommendations. Perhaps you would want to read N.T. Wright's Christian Origins and the Question of God series (this is very heavy, scholarly reading). N.T. Wright is the foremost scholar on the New Testament and this is possibly the most thorough literature on the historical Jesus, early Christianity and the Apostle Paul:

Anything by N.T. Wright is well worth reading (Simply Christian and Surprised by Hope would be good introductions). Likewise, anything by Ravi Zacharias.
