Synopsis

Be Inspired by Amazing Eyewitness Stories of Hope and Courage from the Persecuted Church We are witnessing an astonishing escalation in Christian persecution like we have rarely seen since the first century. Some estimate that every five minutes, a Christian is martyred for his or her faith. Countries like Egypt have experienced more Christian persecution in the last five years than in the previous six hundred years combined. And who could have missed the atrocities of ISIS in Syria, Boko Haram in Nigeria, and the continued persecution of Christians in North Korea? Johnnie Moore, like many American Christians, didn’t fully appreciate the extent of what was going on?until he witnessed the graduation of theology students in India. Unlike graduation ceremonies in America?where feel-good speeches made by visiting celebrities are common?this one featured a remarkable oath. It wasn’t an oath to excel or succeed. It was an oath to be willing to die, if necessary, for the cause of Christ. This was no empty promise. This was a choice, choosing the eternal over the temporal. Johnnie knew he was witnessing a raw, first-century Christianity that his comfortable American version had shielded him from. “For the first time, I really understand my faith,” says Johnnie Moore. Now, he’s on a mission to give this same experience to others. He and his team have crisscrossed the world, recorders in hand, gathering eyewitness accounts from dozens of people who survived persecution?and the stories of some who didn’t. Join Johnnie Moore on this compelling journey to the heart of the Christian faith.

As a student at Liberty University in the late 2000s, I sat under the ministry of Johnny Moore. Well I did not know Johnny Moore personally I did sit under his preaching for a time during my tenure at Liberty University.

Goodreads review by Kim

This is an excellent book as it not only tells the stories of Christians living for Christ under some of the most hostile regimes in the world, but the author also challenges his Western Christian readers to get out of their comfort zone; to really challenge his readers to think long and hard about......more
