"Crucible" is about a man who gave up his family and friends for God, and eventually even his life. This movie is about Nabeel's faith journey from Islam to Christianity and his struggle with stomach cancer. Nabeel Asif Qureshi (1983-2017) was raised as a devout Ahmadi Muslim. After spending several years examining the evidence for Christianity and Islam with his friend David Wood, Nabeel became a Christian while attending Eastern Virginia Medical School. He wrote the very popular book "Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus" "Crucible" means a severe test or trial or an extremely challenging experience. The word is usually applied to a situation that tests a person’s character and perhaps changes them forever. Prov. 17:3: A crucible for silver, and a smelter for gold, and the Lord is the tester of hearts. James 1:2-4: Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 1 Pet. 1: 6-7: In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
