it carries the story of Pastor Son's family in Korea, first under Japanese rule, then in the turbulent post war years. Persecuted by the Japanese for not participating in Shinto worship, and then John and Matthew, the two eldest boys, killed by Communist rioters, how could they thank God?
Yet Pastor Son not only thanked God for his martyred sons, but sought out those who killed them, and demanded they would not be beaten, but would be freed so he could proclaim the gospel to them. One killer was found, rescused from execution by Rachel, Matthew and John's sister, in a remarkable story of forgiveness and strength.
This is a powerful story! Every Christian serious about their relationship with Christ should consider reading. Yes it is intensely challenging. Terrible persecutions and trials happen throughout as events overtake the lives of those included. Events out of the control of those illustrated. Triumph comes only through their choice to lay their pain and heartache down before Jesus, recieve His strength and love to love their persecutors as He loves us.
