Beautifully and respectfully done, with gorgeous photographs from the various landscapes across the world where people are currently being persecuted for faith in Jesus. I also loved the colorful photographs of the cultural attire of people in these areas.
I was dubious about a book on martyrdom being beautiful enough for a coffee-table type book. I was wrong. The pictures in this book were not at all gory, but were stunning photographs worthy of contemplation.
The scripture verses in these pages were appropriate and stirring. The quotes from the various people interviewed, with their stories, was also challenging & convicting. It's been a couple of weeks (?) since I finished it, so I won't remember them all, just the feeling that they inspired.
I would give this book the highest honor for a book. Not only would I reread it, but I would give it as a gift to others.
"I want to be part of the church even if it costs me." - Dilek
"Dying for Jesus would be a privilege for me. I have counted the risk and deemed it worth it for the sake of the gospel." - Timur
"'After awhile,' said a front-line worker who spent time in jail for her faith, 'the fear just goes away and a boldness comes.'"
"I started praying, and God gave me strength to persevere. I remembered a verse from the Bible. 'Take your cross and follow me.'"
"We cannot stop worshipping. When persecution comes, our faith becomes more and more strong."
"Now I am tired physically, but my heart is not tired for the Lord's work." - Bounsaen
"How wonderful it would be if, because of this suffering, we might be able to give off the sweet fragrance of the gospel." - Li Yingquang
"The main point is that we forgive the people who did what happened." - Pastor Younathan
The book is divided into geographic sections - Africa, Latin America, Middle East and Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Asia Pacific.
