In their darkest times they discovered the most beautiful songs.
There are many untold stories of the persecuted church—stories of women who bravely follow Christ at any cost. This stirring book reveals the lives of eleven women in nine different countries around the world. They have lost husbands, children, homes, jobs, or their very freedom and yet continue to praise and serve their Lord. The lessons that these courageous women learned in tough times will help you persevere and endure whatever hardships come your way.
Their stories will ignite your passion and gratitude for the basic right to worship God. May they inspire you, too, to sing through the night. Anneke Companjen says, "Christians around the world need each other, and we can learn from one another."
At the end of each chapter there are questions for deeper study, whether for individual use or as a guide for small groups seeking to understand and pray for our persecuted sisters. Readers will be deeply moved by the strength and faith of these courageous women.
In her travels as a missionary with her husband, Johan Companjen, the president of Open Doors International, Anneke has witnessed firsthand the persecution women endure in many parts of the world. Through speaking engagements around the globe, she brings awareness to the free world—awareness of how these individuals pay a heavy price for their faith in Jesus Christ. Anneke lives in the Netherlands.
