Today we are witnessing one of the most severe and unrelenting attempts at Christian persecution in church history. It's happening in our time--in our modern era--and on our watch. It's happening across the globe--from Syria to Sudan, from Nigeria to North Korea. This isn't time for us to dedicate one day a year to pray for our brothers and sisters in the persecuted church. This type of crisis happens once in a millennium, and it demands that we pray as we never have before, because we are one with our brothers and sisters in harm's way. We should pray as we hope others would pray for us if we were the ones sitting defenseless in the middle of the path of persecution.
We Are One is a 40-day devotional prayer guide for today's persecuted church. It's not enough to offer vague prayers for our brothers and sisters who face life-threatening situations in the Middle East and beyond. We need to pray with information, with purpose, and with confidence. This guide can inspire you and your family to do just that, with incredible stories of courage and strength, faith and hope within its pages.
Spend the next 40 days being inspired, challenged, and encouraged. Spend the next 40 days praying for the persecuted church.

Challenging and inspiring are words that can be thrown about easily, but this book meets the two words and Moree - this tells the stories of people who suffered and who died for their faith in Christ. We are so weak in our faith and this challenges us to be stronger and bolder and it inspires us with the love they had for others and for their enemies. We have a lot to learn from the persecuted church and we should be praying for them as well. A book that should be read by all.
The subtitle of "WE ARE ONE" is "Walking by faith with the Persecuted Church", providing a 40-day devotional study or a reading of persecution of Christians across the globe. Author Johnnie Moore gives the reader many accounts of how men, women and children suffer for their faith in Jesus Christ.
This is a hard one to read because of the violence that people experience globally for their faith. It makes me want to pray for peace and comfort for all who are in distress or suffering because of the cruelty of others.
