I Am N Devotional

by The Voice of the Martyrs

Every day, millions of Christians living face Islamic extremists who threaten insult, violence, and the even death. These men, women, and children are not foreigners who need pity or missionaries too far away to reach. They are our brothers and sisters—who have great hope and wisdom to share.

This powerful 90-day devotional invites you into the lives of these Christ followers through a brief story and a guide to prayer. Each devotional also includes personal application to strengthen your faith and equip you with boldness to love those in your own community.

About the author

The Voice of the Martyrs is a non-profit, inter-denominational Christian organization dedicated to assisting the persecuted church worldwide. VOM was founded in 1967 by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, who was imprisoned 14 years in Communist Romania for his faith in Christ. His wife, Sabina, was imprisoned for three years. In the 1960s, Richard, Sabina, and their son, Mihai, were ransomed out of Romania and came to the United States. Through their travels, the Wurmbrands spread the message of the atrocities that Christians face in restricted nations, while establishing a network of offices dedicated to assisting the persecuted church. The Voice of the Martyrs continues in this mission around the world today through the following main purposes:
Our ministry is based on Hebrews 13:3:
"Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body."

I Extremists by the publisher and their partnership with Netgalley in exchange for my honest review:   In June 2014in Mosul, Iraq,   
Isis came to town.  Abu was forced to deal with Isis for weeks trying to keep his Mom safe.  Abu and his Mother nearly get killed because they refuse to denounce Christ and become Muslims.  Just as he is praying facing his executioner another black SVU came up with order for him to leave town and tell Christians everywhere they were coming after them.

In Pakistan Asia Bibi is imprisoned for drinking out of the same water fountain as a Muslim Women, and forced to go years without being able to raise the Children she had given birth to.  At seventeen Hussein from Iran was a drug addict when Hussein hears that Jesus died for him and he in turn gives his heart to Christ  Which prompts his Father to call the authorities on him.  During his time in prison Hussein’s Faith in Jesus only grows.

When Nadia was eleven and her family would pass by the Neighborhood Church her parents were always telling her to ignore them but Nadia could not help but have her interested piqued. 

This book includes stories of courage in face of persecution from all around the world, many of the men and women highlighted in this book were/are from the Middle East.  This books also highlights Martyrs from history. 

I give this book five out of five stars..

Happy reading

Encouraging and interesting devotional, yet sobering. Each devotional in it features Christians in Muslim countries experiencing persecution for their faith. An application and prayer is also included. I'd recommend it, but it will convict you and make you thankful for what we have here in America.

It’s a good reminder of what Christians around the world deal with

This is a good, short daily reading to remind you what our brothers and sisters around the world deal with on a regular basis because they name the name of Jesus.

That being said, it’s not exactly deep, so don’t use this as your ONLY daily Bible study for 90 days. Read this either first thing in the morning or right before bed as a reminder of the persecution faced by the global church, but don’t neglect a daily Bible study as well.

Everything published by "The Voice of the Martyrs" is well thought out, prayerfully put together, and intensely challenging, as it focuses on praying for persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. Lord, have mercy on us all! I encourage everyone to not only read their books, but also to cry out to God on behalf of all who suffer for the name of Jesus Christ.

inspirational

It is heartbreaking to hear the stories of the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Christ. It is a reminder of how easy I have it and causes me to pray.

This was a good daily devotional. I appreciated the stories of those believers living in places where they regularly faced persecution for their faith.
