Description

Big Little Steps is the culmination of one woman's pilgrimage towards religion. From an atheist family upbringing through an exploration of Christianity to finally embracing Islam, Mathilde Loujayne converted in 2022 and has since crossed paths with women from all walks of life on a 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 - in this book she addresses women's common concerns as they take the big, little steps towards finding a balanced lifestyle and a glowing heart in Islam.


This is a guide she wished she had when she took her first steps as a New Muslim. She began writing it in an attempt to explain her life choice to her mother and has finished writing it as a personal discoure on contemporary issues for New Muslim Women as she invites them to participate in global sisterhood.


This book is intended to empower women with Islamic values. To welcome them into a universal family beyond borders. To call them towards a simpler life, where their physical and spiritual needs are harmonised, and to address common concerns as they take the Big Little Steps towards finding a balanced lifestyle and a glowing heart in Islam.

Reviews

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


"A 'self-help' book for Muslims, which seeks both to inspire Muslim women, but also to educate those outside the faith" - Dr Myriam Francois
