Beyond the Golden Door

SYNOPSIS

Beyond the Golden Door is the compelling, sometimes tense, and often humorous story of how a Pakistani Muslim finds freedom, love, and a new faith and challenges readers to appreciate the liberties found in America and to consider their own spiritual journey.

It’s easy to talk about freedom. But unless someone has lived in a world that suffocates freedom, it’s difficult to appreciate the liberty found in America. Beyond the Golden Door is the engaging true story of Ali Master, a Pakistani Muslim who immigrates to the United States to attend college and discovers five transformational freedoms along the way: the freedom to fail and start over, to love, to choose one’s faith, to be an entrepreneur, and to self-govern.

These American freedoms are shown in stark contrast to the life Ali lived in a third-world Muslim country, and he asks the question: what are the roots of these precious American freedoms? Ultimately, readers discover that this tale is about God, the true source of liberty, and how He works in people’s lives to bring about unexpected and undeserved redemption.

Beyond the Golden Door encourages Americans to consider how they can preserve their precious freedoms and contribute to their country’s legacy, as well as the deeper challenge of considering their own life journey. A call to value and preserve American freedoms, Beyond the Golden Door extends an invitation for readers to consider ultimate freedom in Jesus Christ.

Recent Testimonials for
Beyond the Golden Door:

"Beyond the Golden Door by Ali Master is a fascinating study of the American dream, God’s great redemption, and the beauty of freedom. In it you will experience the immigrant’s journey, a love story inaugurated by fast food, and the ache of longing for a parent’s approval. This is an encouraging and interesting read."

Mary DeMuth

Author of Thin Places: a Memoir

"Read this book if you want to be inspired (or re-inspired) about the promise of America. Sometimes we need a reminder from an unexpected source to direct our attention to the treasures that lie right under our noses. Beyond the Golden Door does exactly that."

David Alexander

Former Vice Chair, Big 4 Firm

"Into America's debate on immigration and religious liberty, Ali Master's journey is more than one man's story, but a tutorial for all of us on what it means to be truly free. Be ready to be inspired."

Dr. Craig Schill

Senior Pastor, Lake Cities Community Church and Adjunct Professor, Dallas Theological Seminary

"Beyond the Golden Door is well-written and captivating and provides a frank and revealing look at Ali's personal experiences and challenges. This world could use a better understanding of the individuality of life experiences. The assumption that religion follows birthplace and ethnicity is an unconscious bias that many of us fall prey to. This is well worth reading!"

Katherine Hammack

Former United States Assistant Secretary of the Army
