Struggling to surrender; some impressions of an American convert to islam is a very personal account of one man’s search for god and meaning in the midst of a culture that places no value on such a quest. Dr. Lang was brought up as a catholic and educated in a Catholic school. However, one day he found that his religious beliefs could no longer provide satisfactory answers to his questions. And so his quest began; reason, agnosticism, atheism, and, finally “coincidence’ –a chance encounter with a Muslim student in one of his classes that eventually led to his conversion. As he soon found out, however, this matter, for now he had to fit in with his new community, its was not the end of the matter, for now he had to fit in with his new community, its beliefs and tradition, and the Islamic worldview and lifestyle.
