About the Authors

Daniel Ali

Daniel Ali is a Catholic convert from Islam. After many
years of study and reflection, Daniel was led to the foot of
the Cross — to the realization that the God of the Universe
desires an intimate relationship with man and that He did, in
fact, send His Son to dwell among us. Daniel was received
into the Catholic Church by Father William G. Most in 1998.
Daniel has gained national note as the founder of the
Christian Islamic Forum as well as his Video series with
Father Mitch Pacwa, S.J., the host of EWTN Live! Today he
travels throughout the world leading seminars on Islam.
Daniel and his wife live in Virginia. He can be reached at
