When Faith Is Forbidden: 40 Days on the Frontlines with Persecuted Christians
Journey alongside Persecuted ChristiansTake a 40-day journey to meet brothers and sisters who share in the sufferings of Christ. When Faith Is Forbidden takes you to meet a Chinese Christian woman who called six months in prison "a wonderful time," an Iraqi pastor and his wife just eight days after assassins' bullets ripped into his flesh, and others from our spiritual family who've suffered greatly for wearing the name of Christ. Each stop on this 40-day journey includes inspiration and encouragement through the story of a persecuted believer. You?ll also find space for reflection and a suggested prayer as you grow to understand the realities of living under persecution-and learn from the examples of the bold believers you'll meet.For more than 20 years, Todd Nettleton (host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio) has traveled the world to interview hundreds of Christians who?ve been persecuted for the name of Christ. Now he opens his memory bank-and even his personal journals-to take you along to meet bold believers who will inspire you to a deeper walk with Christ. Review Praise for When Faith Is Forbidden?During my two years imprisoned in Turkey, one of the things that strengthened me was looking to the example of others who persevered faithfully through persecution. There is a long line of people who have suffered for Jesus Christ. Some struggle more than others-I certainly did-but in the end what matters is to stand. Stories like the ones Todd has collected in this book are of great value as we prepare ourselves in case we are called on to stand in that long line-and I believe it is a matter of great urgency that we indeed prepare.?-PASTOR ANDREW BRUNSONFormer prisoner for Christ in Turkey?It was with a great deal of anticipation that I read When Faith Is Forbidden. It did not disappoint. His book removes the reader from that of an observer who stands comfortably outside of the lives of persecuted believers. This book moves us from a place of pity for those who suffer for expressing their faith in the marketplace to an active stance of true partnership. Todd invites the reader inside the narrative by shining a light on believers for whom persecution is normal. His written prayers, wedded to these very personal accounts, offer opportunities for personal reflection and growth. Significantly, the reader is encouraged to capture and record their own thoughts as persecuted believers lead us into a life of faith where witness and persecution are twins. I pray that readers will use this book to enhance their service for Jesus. When Faith Is Forbidden is a God-sent gift for families who are looking for a devotional aide that will enrich times of family worship.? -NIK RIPKENMission veteran of 35 years; author of The Insanity of God?When believers in the West sing ?I have decided to follow Jesus,? we rarely consider what the cost of that commitment might be. But for many Christ-followers around the globe, that decision could cost them their lives. It?s imperative we hear the stories of the persecuted church. It provides us with the precious privilege of praying for our brothers and sisters and it sweeps away the cobwebs of complacency in the Western church. Get your passport, fasten your seatbelts, and travel with Todd to get a global perspective of what it means to follow Jesus. Your faith will never be the same again.?-JANET PARSHALLAuthor and nationally syndicated talk show host?As a leader in the Middle East I have firsthand experience of seeing Todd taking a story about persecution and being able to conceptualize it for broad audiences to understand and engage. I have personally known him for over a decade and he has been recording our stories for years and even used a few in this beautiful book. Every time I read Todd?s stories I am inspired and lit on fire once again to suffer well in the persecuted world. I am thankful for how he has given his life to documenting stories like these
