Project Lina, Paperback

The Project Lina book and workshops are designed to bring converts to a place of joyful confidence in themselves, their faith, and their place in their families and communities.

Lina is the Arabic word for palm tree, and the three modules found in this book - Know Yourself, Declare your Independence, and Tend your Ties - provide a springboard from which converts can grow into community members who, like palm trees, have deep roots, strong but flexible trunks, and bear wonderful, life-sustaining fruit.

Whether you're new to Islam or a seasoned convert with tales and advice of her own to share, Project Lina will help us continue to bring our whole selves to Islam. It is the open arms, the spiritual guidance, and the balanced way forward that converts need for a healthy transition from newbies to vital members of their communities - and then to the leaders our communities need.
