We Christians in America are so blessed! We have more, do more, and complain more than any other nation of people.. When was the last time you had to hide your one and only Bible and go to church in the secrecy of night for fear of being jailed? What will you do if there comes a time in America where the above scenario is commonplace?
Though a fiction book, Safely Home, by Randy Alcorn, gives us a modern day picture of the persecution of the saints in China. Through it, one can catch a glimpse of what true persecution consists of. II Timothy 3:12 says, "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." As born-again Christians, we are not promised an easy life, but an eternal one. Make sure you have a box of tissues at your side when reading this book. May you come away as I did, praising God for where He has placed you and praying more earnestly for those who suffer for Christ’s sake.
This book can open our eyes and make us see what the veritable Christian life is all about.
