Muslim fanatics are methodically moving forward with a plan to establish the first Islamic State of America. Millions of innocent people will die if billionaire arms merchant Mullah Muhammad Zakair Sheikh has his way. It is a brilliant scheme, the result of decades of preparation and the sacrifice of tens of thousands of Mujahadeen faithful to the cause. But one man, a lone sailor in the Caribbean who calls himself a missionary, stumbles across a vital part of the Mullah’s plot and, using only prayer and email, rallies thousands of people to meet the force of evil face to face.

The Missionary is the tale of two men who find themselves seeking significance in faith. Both are successful in the world of business but both feel there must be something more to life. Jack Malone is pushed down his path to significance with the death of his beloved wife who urges him to “follow his dream.” It was their dream, really, to live aboard a sailboat and cruise the Caribbean, but life and work and family always pushed the dream into the future. On her death bed, Anna told Jack to go, to follow their dream but he didn’t feel that would be worthwhile until a scholarly pastor suggested he could do that and also spread the word of God as a missionary for Christ. Reluctant and skeptical at first, Jack Malone soon found himself shopping for the perfect boat.

Muhammad Zakair Sheikh is led down the path following the death of his father who urges him, begs him with his last breath to become a slave to the Prophet. He is skeptical when Professor al Khalili from El Alazar University shows up at his door. But over time, Zeke the Sheikh adopts the one true faith and is anointed by one of its most respected leaders to become a Mullah. In time, he is trusted with carrying out one of the boldest plans for Islamic expansion ever devised, the take over of one of the United States to establish the first Islamic State of America as its own nation. Sheikh will put his billion dollar empire on the line in order to be the man who pushes the buttons that will bring The Great Satan America to its knees before the Prophet Muhammad.

The two paths intersect at a tiny island in the Caribbean where The Missionary discovers The Mullah using gangster tactics to control the local population.

One of these men becomes an ambassador for Jesus Christ. The other becomes an influential follower of Islam. Neither finds his path is easy. And only one will survive.

This story is global. It is frightening. And it is all too possible.

This book has been called too worldly for Christian fiction and too Christian for general consumption. In reality it includes real-world language and situations while telling an inspirational story.
