Killing Christians: Living the Faith Where It's Not Safe to Believe

Publisher Marketing: Could you retain your faith even if it meant losing your life? Your family s lives?To many Christians in the Middle East today, a "momentary, light affliction" means enduring only torture instead of martyrdom. The depth of oppression Jesus followers suffer is unimaginable to most Western Christians. Yet, it is an everyday reality for those who choose faith over survival in Syria, Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, and other countries hostile to the Gospel of Christ. In "Killing Christians," Tom Doyle takes listeners to the secret meetings, the torture rooms, the grim prisons, and even the executions that are the "calling" of countless Muslims-turned-Christians. Each survivor longs to share with brothers and sisters "on the outside" what Christ has taught them. "Killing Christians" is their message to listeners who still enjoy freedom to practice their faith. None would wish their pain and suffering on those who do not have to brave such misery, but the richness gained through their remarkable trials are delivered often in their own words through this audiobook. The stories are breathtaking, the lessons soul-stirring and renewing. "Killing Christians" presents the dead serious work of expanding and maintaining the Faith."
