    About this ebook

    Could you retain your faith even if it meant losing your life? Your family’s lives?

    To many Christians in the Middle East today, a “momentary, light affliction” 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. InKilling Christians, Tom Doyle takes readers to the secret meetings, the torture rooms, the grim prisons, and even the executions that are the “calling” of countless Muslims-turned-Christians.

    Each survivor longs to share with brothers and sisters “on the outside” 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—often in their own words—through 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.

      This is such a good book, anything by the author will bless you.
    • 4/5
      In Killing Christians: Living the Faith Where It's Not Safe to Believe, Tom Doyle takes his readers to Muslims-turned-Christians in Egypt, Saudi-Arabia, Iraq, the UAE, Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon. The suffering Jesus Christ promised that would be part of following Him, is experienced first-hand. And while some are martyred, others are miraculously protected in order to spread the gospel further among Muslims.The depth and proximity of having to give up your life to Christ, physically, not spiritually, may be unimaginable to most Western Christians that live in countries with freedom of religion. Countless dreams in which Jesus shows Himself to Muslims, and God answering prayers are means to stir people to devote themselves to Jesus Christ and become a follower of the Way. The blood of martyrs are the seed of the Church, in the first centuries CE as well as the 21st century.Where the recent testimonies in this book of real people in real situations can bless you as a reader, Doyle also challenges you to bless your fellow believers in Muslim countries through a daily prayer for those who, because of their faith in Christ, are in prison, persecution, or danger.
