Najiba: A Love Story from Afghanistan
Reviews (185)
Najiba is True Love Story.
What an incredibly written book, about the love and obedience of a couple that purposed in their heart, to wait on the best lifelong companion the Father had for them. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is wanting to find the relationship “HE has planned for you” or those who enjoy seeing God still at work in our world today. Debbi, my wife of 41 years and I read Najiba at the same time. Through smiles, laughter and tears, Debbi’s response was that she did not want the book to end. I comforted her by saying it is an ongoing story. Their love story will continue in the lives of those in Afghanistan and across the world, that have been influenced by experiencing this amazing family. Their children, Johnny Mack, James Issac, Joy, Josheph and Judah will be a continuance of this love and will provide future sequels as well.
Inspiring Read!
What a great book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and hearing from both John and Jeanne as they shared their journey and heart for each other and the Afghan people. To watch the details of how God led them and brought them together as well as reading on how God continued to share His heart and vision with them for their own family and the Afghan people is so refreshing! To continue to have examples of ones passionate for God and His purposes continues to inspire me to live fully for God - to love God and live for the benefit of others! Thank you John and Jeanne for sharing your story! Thank you for the integrity of these pages matched with the vulnerability of all that you walked through which was coupled with faith and God’s faithfulness! You inspire me!
Amazing True Love Story about two Truly Amazing People
I've read many Christian romance fictional books. This book is by far the best and, better yet, it's a TRUE STORY. This book gives testament to how mighty God's love is and how great his miracles continue to be today! It's a very easy read told from both John's and Jeanne's viewpoints. As the magnificent puzzle of their love story comes together, the reader becomes immersed in the beauty of these two hearts and the glorious way God weaves it together! I have highly recommended this book to many of my family and friends and will continue to do so. If you or someone you know feel like time is running out on their personal love story, this book will give them inspiration and hope!
Delightful and inspiring.
John's recent book is truly a page turner. I love the way that John's thoughts and Jeanne's thoughts are shared in this beautiful and intriguing true story. Its just amazing to go behind the scenes through the thoughts of each of them from the time and way they met until the time of the wedding in Afghanistan and having their children. I can't wait for more of the story. I have all three of John's books and highly recommend them all.
Wow - I couldn't put it down!
What an amazing story! Even though I already knew the end of the story, I was still sitting on the edge of my chair as I read. John is a wonderful storyteller. And it was so good to hear about the events in Jeanne's own voice. As I read I could hear the obvious love for the Afghan people that both have. And what fun to actually read the details of the unfolding of a couple's love for each other, one that was ordained by the Lord himself. This was a real joy of a book to read. Highly recommend!
A love story worth the time to read
From a distance I’ve followed John and Jeanne. Reading this book makes me all the more appreciative of them writing their story for us to read. I’ve learned more about Afghanistan culture also. I enjoyed the “divine coincidences” that permeate this story. I highly recommend this book.
Finding a rose among thorns.
A sweet love story in a war-torn country. Delightful story of God bringing together an American couple within the drama and hardship of exotic, war-torn Afghanistan. Fascinating glimpse into their lives and the culture they had adopted as home. Their love for God, love for one another and love for the Afghan people shines through on each page. Enjoyable to read, especially for, but not limited to, those familiar with the people and places. Having walked part of this road with John, I can say this book really captures his unique perspective on life. Interesting and uplifting few hours of reading.
What true love should be when we trust God, he
A very inspirational book a beautiful story. What love is When we trust and believe in Jesus Christ. Never give up no matter what we go through. I recommend this book to everyone. You will love this book and will love this couple.
Powerful love story of two people deeply in love with the Lord!!!
This is an excellent story of two people in love with each other and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!! Their passion and sincere desire to serve the Lord by serving the precious Afghan people is evident in every page of this book. I've known John for practically all his life and I do believe he and Jeanne are a couple after God's own heart! I highly recommend this book for anyone who desires to see God at work in the lives of people who are committed to His call on their lives!
Highly Recommend!
I couldn’t stop reading this once I started! This book is an incredible testimony of two people who follow Jesus with all their hearts. It’s amazing to read of everything that the Lord orchestrated in their lives as a result. I have recommended this to friends and family and will probably read it multiple times. This book has the potential for many conversation topics. I highly recommend it, you will be captivated and drawn in from beginning to end.
