Many Americans do not understand that Christians today are victims in many parts of the world. Even many Western Christians, who worship and pray without fear of violent repercussions, are unaware that so many followers of Christ live under governments, and among people who are often openly hostile to their faith. They think martyrdom became a rarity long ago.

PERSECUTED refutes these assumptions. This book offers a glimpse at the modern-day life of Christians worldwide, recounting the ongoing attacks that rarely make international headlines.

As Western Christians pray for the future of Christ's church, it is vital that they understand a large part of the world's Christian believers live in danger. PERSECUTED gives documented accounts of the persecution of Christians in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and former Soviet nations. It contains vivid stories of men and women who suffer abuse because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and tell of their perseverance and courage.

PERSECUTED is far more than a thorough and moving study of this global pattern of violence, it is a cry for freedom and a call to action.

As a boy, Brother Andrew dreamed of being an undercover spy working behind enemy lines. As a man he found himself working undercover for God. His was a mission filled with danger, financed by faith, supported by miracles.

Told it was impossible to minister behind the Iron Curtain, Andrew knew that nothing was too hard for God. Crossing "closed" borders, he prayed, "Lord, in my luggage I have Scripture I want to take to Your children. When You were on earth, You made blind eyes see. Now, I pray, make seeing eyes blind. Do not let the guards see those things You do not want them to see." And they never did.

For 35 years, Brother Andrew's life story has inspired millions to step out on their own journeys of faith. This young Dutch factory worker's near-incredible adventures testify of God's step-by-step guidance and hour by hour provision available to all who follow His call.

Far from being over, Brother Andrew's current adventures are his most challenging yet. In a new prologue and epilogue, the Sherrills carry his story into the new millennium with an account of Andrew's work in the "closed" societies of Islam.

In the midst of never-ending debates, protest, riots, suicide bombings, and broken peace initiatives, one man came to make a difference. He sought out church leaders and urged them not to flee the violence but to stay and strengthen their congregations to become a force for change. He faced the fiery rhetoric of Muslim fundamentalists head on and told them that the only hope for peace would come through Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Previously known for his determination to deliver Bibles behind the Iron Curtain, Brother Andrew has spent the last 30 years on a very different quest. He has traveled to Lebanon, the West Bank, Gaza and Israel to support the struggling Church. His mission: to bring hope to the believers caught in the crossfire of the most volatile region on earth.

In his most incredible and eye-opening book to date, Brother Andrew invites you to meet these brave men and women you never knew existed. This is the riveting true story of the church in Islamic countries struggling to come to grips with hostile governments, terrorist acts, and an influx of Muslims coming to Christ. The names and places have been changed to protect the real people in the real places. But the stories are true.

Secret Believers not only gives you a glimpse of the lives of these courageous believers, it also proposes four practical initiatives for Christians in the West to help these persecuted brothers and sisters. It calls us to join a new kind of jihad, leaving vengeance behind in favor of forgiveness, radical love and unyielding prayer.

By Nik Ripken with Gregg Lewis

Nik Ripken has walked with followers of Christ from the hills of Kentucky to war-torn Somalia. Faced with suffering in his own family, the realities of war around him, and the systemic destruction of the work he felt called to do, the evil was at times overwhelming. How could God be good, when life was so dark? How could Christ reign victorious on a day when the number of martyrs included some of Nik's best friends? Is there really power in Christ no matter the circumstance?

The ashes of Somalia led the Ripken's to travel around the world to listen to the stories of more than six hundred believers in over sixty countries. These were men and women who had learned to be tough enough and prepared enough to walk with Jesus through environments of persecution. These believers shout along with the testimony of those in Scripture that Jesus is worth it; He is worth my life, the life of my spouse, and the lives of my children.

How does faith survive, let alone flourish in the places of life that are overcome with the darkness of sin, despair, and hopelessness? Join Nik as he tells the story of being taught by believers in persecution "how to follow Jesus, how to love Jesus, and how to walk with Him day by day. We may think that we would rather live like the world than do do the "insane" things that Jesus asks of us. But are we really more joyful than those walking the darkest, craziest paths? What does it mean if we are not? Is God truly enough? Have your questions answered in The Insanity of God.
