ENDORSEMENTS AND TESTIMONIALS
“Denise Guillot has brilliantly put together a lively snapshot of the challenges and prospects of navigating religious identity and searching for the ultimate truths in the 21st century. Beautifully written, engaging, and fiercely honest, Guillot’s memoir brings the reader on a vivid journey of faith, knowledge, and hope, reminding readers of the true beauty of the Islamic faith. I am inspired.”
– Dr. Craig Considine, award winning professor at Rice University, scholar, and best-selling author
"Denise’s honest, fascinating story about the average American teenager who found a path toward enlightenment after traveling the world and developing a sudden, debilitating illness is captivating and inspiring. The heart-rending, amusing and deeply insightful stories, though unique, uncover universal truths relatable to all people. MERCY ME humanizes being Muslim, and shines a light on the true beauty of Islam…that a blonde cheerleader from Texas learned from her Palestinian sheikh."
– Safi Kaskas, internationally renowned author, speaker and respected Scholar in Islamic Studies and a key figure in interfaith discussions
