What Women of Courage
Published by Carolyn Hall , 5 years ago
This is an awesome book. This shows the sacrifices that Christian women are making around the globe to keep their
Christian ministry going and maintain their family as well. Heart-wrenching in some ways. Could we make the sacrifices
that these women have made? it makes you think. We in the Western world are so spoiled and do not have the
challenges these women have faced. A great book showing the support they have from Open Doors Ministry teams.
This will open your eyes to the worldwide stage of Christian persecution that so many have endured. Eye opening!
The Women who hurt!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Dutch woman, Anneke Companjen, grips your heart with her true tales of female persecution! She did not pen these heart-touching documentaries from a distance, but was seated...listening to those who hurt. Those who dwell within the persecuted church know the daily realities of sorrow and joy. They are those who are willing to be imprisoned and die for Christ their Savior. They refuse man's intimidation to silence. Many women are courageous pawns amongst those who want to stamp out Christ's name. Upon entering the pages of "Hidden Sorrow, Lasting Joy," you are dropped into the laps of women who have sacrificed all for their Savior. Prison is a reality for those who decline to deny Jesus' name in hostile lands. Faithful wives can wait countless years for their beloved's release. These awaiting ones endure personal sacrifice and poverty; only being held up by the arms of Christ and those of us who pray and support.
Somber but Realistic Reminder of Faith and fortitude
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Hidden Sorrow, Lasting Joy contains the real-life accounts of many 'saints' who have left behind their wives, children and families due to what they believe and have great faith in. These true semi-biographies make very easy and informative reading, especially for those who are interested in religious freedoms. It is an eye-opener for those who want to know the real truth about political regimes like the communistic athiestic state, the extent of oppression by Islamic politics and even the situation in some south American regimes. Read and discover how the human spirit remains indomitable in the face of wicked and unjust oppression and persecution, and how the survivors are striking back at their oppressors, but in a very different way! Five stars..!
