Big Little Steps: A Woman's Guide to Embracing Islam

Description:

“A ‘self-help’ book for Muslims, which seeks both to inspire Muslim women, but also to educate those outside the faith” – Dr Myriam Francois

Since her conversion to Islam in 2002 Mathilde Loujayne has crossed paths with women from all walks of life on a common spiritual journey to discover Islam from a feminine perspective.

Fuelled by a desire to find the right words to explain to her mother her choice to embrace Islam, this guide was born.

Through Mathilde Loujayne's personal experiences - grief, high school, moving abroad, work, marriage, and motherhood - she addressses women's common concerns as they take the big, little steps towards finding a balanced lifestyle and a glowing heart in Islam.


Editorial Reviews

Review

Big Little Steps breaks down a woman's journey to Islam in big little pieces. — Grazia Middle East

This is a book full of heart. New Muslims and those who are newly committed to their religion will find much useful information conveyed with common sense and compassion. —
Dr. Ingrid Mattson, London and Windsor Community Chair in Islamic Studies at Huron University College (Canada)

Big Little Steps is a holistic and feminine take on the ins and outs of Islam, written by a young French lady. It is an easy to understand and useful guide to anyone wanting to become Muslim, especially brave women! I wish I'd had a book like this when I embraced Islam in 1995. — Kristiane Backer, author of From MTV to Islam

Big Little Steps is a heart-warming journey of an intelligent woman seeking the peace of Allah. Full of practical advice and insightful thoughts, this is one book that every Muslimah should be talking about. — Quake Books

“Mathilde weaves her own personal story of conversion to Islam, into this accessible manuscript in which personal anecdotes mix with more formalistic descriptions of religious practise.” —
Dr Myriam Francois, taken from the preface

It got delivered May 5th… it’s May 6th and I’m already half way through it ! I can’t put it down, its giving me the first look and helping me further understand through a women’s perspective on the basics and more of Islam. I’m currently reading this and The Clear Quran (English translation). I’m so happy I took the leap and purchased it. I’m grateful she took time into this! I hope I can further my knowledge/journey into the beauty of Islam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for reverts!

A. · August 5, 2020

This had a lot of helpful tidbits in it. It also reaffirmed everything that I have learned over the past few years. With the author’s writing style I would love to have some fiction books from her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good acquisition!

D.M. · May 1, 2020

Good start for who doesn’t know anything about Islam or just a little bit and good explanation of all the terms. I recommended for people who is in the beginning of the conversation.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are looking to revert to Islam this is a great resource

B.S. · June 16, 2022

My book came damaged.Other then that I am enjoying this book so far and getting a lot of my questions answered that I had prior to ordering this book. Great resource for a non-Muslim currently reverting to Islam!

i’m a Muslim born woman, but i found this book beneficial even when most of the covered topics are already familiar to me. i love how the author really tried to educate a new revert sister through simple explanation and showing beautiful things in Islam. it makes me happy and i feel refreshed!

3.0 out of 5 stars Very beaten up!!

K. · March 7, 2021

I love this book as I’m a revert, but to my dismay when I got it it was really messed up and scuffed. Not only was it covered in dirt or some kind of dark mark, but it had prints on the cover like something sharp had hit it? I’m really disappointed it doesn’t look better but I want to read it so I won’t be returning it. I’m hoping at the very least I get a partial refund. I paid a good amount of money for this book so I don’t see this as fair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and fruitful can’t put it down.

a. · October 17, 2021

I’ve been trying to find someone to teach me about Islam and this was the best book to have come my way from someone like me that didn’t grow up in the culture or the religion. The writer doesn’t water it down, treats you as a worthy student and takes you by the hand with care and love. Two of my friends will purchase it as well and we’ll be learning together. It is also beautiful to look at. I’m glad the author took care of the visuals which helps tremendously. Beautiful and fruitful can’t put it down.

Educational and inspiring book

I. · May 18, 2022
