The Price of Love: The Fate of a Woman--And a Warning to the West - Paperback

by Sabatina James (Author)

"And so I have lived ever since--forever on the move, forever pursued, yet never afraid. My time in Pakistan altered the course of my life. Amidst the cruelty, amidst the fear, God whispered to me: 'Stand before the giants and do not tremble.' And so I stand unwavering, as He shields me time and again. From a single ember of faith, a great fire has risen." -- Sabatina James

Sabatina James lives on the edge.

She was promised to a man she didn't choose, punished for resisting, and sentenced to death for her faith.

Born into a devout Muslim family, Sabatina risked everything to escape a forced marriage--and endured the brutal consequences that followed. After boldly converting to Christianity, she was condemned for apostasy and marked for death by Muslim jihadists. From the harsh confines of a madrassa in Pakistan to years under police protection in Europe and eventual exile in the United States, her journey is as harrowing as it is inspiring.

In The Price of Love, Sabatina recounts her transformation from a devout Muslim to a follower of Christ, offering an unfiltered, intimate look at the emotional, spiritual, and cultural battles she faced. Her story reveals the deadly cost of leaving Islam, challenges the global silence surrounding apostasy, and testifies to the power of Christ's love to overcome violence, fear, and loss.

With piercing clarity, Sabatina pulls back the veil on the hidden realities of Islamic culture, the suffering of converts, and the rise of radical Islam in the West.

Raw. Urgent. Unapologetic.

In a world where truth is dangerous and silence buys safety, The Price of Love is more than a memoir; it is a wake-up call to the West, a fearless confrontation of evil, and a blazing testament to the unshakable freedom found in Jesus Christ.

Sabatina's voice doesn't just tell a story; it sparks a fire, lights a path, and dares others to follow: "One act of bravery can shatter the silence. One voice can stir the sleeping. One soul willing to stand in the fire can awaken countless others."
