Journey to Meet Persecuted Christians

This bestselling classic from The Voice of the Martyrs has been freshly revised and updated for a new generation! Readers are challenged to examine their faith and dedication through inspiring stories of believers who refused to deny Jesus, faithfully witnessing for him — even in the face of death. Some of the new stories in this edition highlight persecuted Christians and martyrs from the world’s most dangerous places to follow Christ. A few examples include

Pastor Han — Stabbed to death by North Korean agents for sharing the gospel with North Koreans in China
Werner, Jean-Pierre and Rodé Groenewald — Killed in a Taliban attack on their home in Afghanistan
Fatima al-Mutairi — Killed by her brother after becoming a Christian in Saudi Arabia

This revised edition also includes information about the hostile areas and restricted nations where our brothers and sisters in Christ are persecuted for their witness today. Jesus Freaks is a great gift to inspire the faith of young people in your life. (Ministry Edition, 406 pp.)

Just days before Pastor Richard Wurmbrand was arrested by the Romanian secret police, he read that there were 366 instances in Scripture that would help Christians overcome fear — one for each day of the year, including leap year. This idea enhanced Richard's and his wife, Sabina’s, prayerful study of God’s Word and gave them strength to stand strong for Christ in the face of opposition, imprisonment and torture.

Whom Shall I Fear? features testimonies of the Wurmbrands and other persecuted Christians from throughout history, while introducing 366 biblical passages to help ground your faith in God’s character as you live obediently for Christ. (Hardcover, 478 pp.)

What inspiration can we take from our Christian brothers and sisters who face opposition from Islamic extremists in the countries where they live? How can we pray for them? And what can we learn from them?

On Dec. 10, 2015, Petr Jasek arrived at the airport in Khartoum, Sudan, for his return flight home to the Czech Republic. But before he could board his flight, he was summoned by Sudanese security for questioning about his activities in the country — activities that, if disclosed, would endanger the persecuted Christians with whom he had met. As the questions continued and he was taken into custody, Petr realized he would not be returning to his family anytime soon.

Instead, Petr was sentenced to life in prison and forced to share a cell with ISIS terrorists, all for trying to help Christians who had been persecuted by Sudan’s government. In Imprisoned with ISIS, Petr shares the true story of how God gave him strength, courage and a new purpose during his 445-day imprisonment. (Hardcover, 224 pp.)

On Feb. 29, 1948, Richard Wurmbrand was arrested by the secret police. His crime? Leading Christian worship and witnessing, both of which were illegal under Romania’s atheistic, Communist regime. Richard endured 14 years of imprisonment and torture, while his wife, Sabina, suffered three years of imprisonment and forced labor. Yet they emerged not with a bitter spirit but with a story of victorious faith. This biography explores the inspiring lives of Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, combining their complete stories into a single volume for the first time. (Hardcover, 381 pp.)
