On Monday evening I had the privilege of meeting a very brave man whose name used to be Muhammad. In fact, he wrote a book by the same title: My name used to be Muhammad. His name is now Tito Momen (Tito is the Italian name for one of the Apostle Paul's missionary companions, Titus), and his story is one worth listening to, and reading. The story of his journey from Islam to Christianity contains lessons in courage, perseverance, forgiveness, and testimony. Tito graciously agreed to sign my copy of his book in Arabic. Thank you Tito. ! شكرا
"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." - Articles of Faith 1:13 (Disclaimer: I am not an official spokesman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
