{"description": {"type": "/type/text", "value": "Could you retain your faith even if it meant losing your life? Your family\u2019s lives?\r\n\r\nTo many Christians in the Middle East today, a \u201cmomentary, light affliction\u201d 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 readers to the secret meetings, the torture rooms, the grim prisons, and even the executions that are the \u201ccalling\u201d of countless Muslims-turned-Christians.\r\n\r\nEach survivor longs to share with brothers and sisters \u201con the outside\u201d what Christ has taught them. Killing Christians is their message to readers 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\u2014often in their own words\u2014through this book. The stories are breathtaking, the lessons soul-stirring and renewing. Killing Christians presents the dead serious work of expanding and maintaining the Faith.\r\n\r\n\u201cWhen you\u2019re looking for real-life accounts of 21st Century believers whose lives are literally at stake for their beliefs, it demands the credibility of a man who has the smell of the front lines of the battlefield on his clothes because he was there yesterday and will be back there tomorrow. I\u2019m proud to say my friend Tom Doyle is that man.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u2014Jerry B.
