Stories of Those Who Stood For Jesus, the Ultimate Jesus Freaks
This book opens the eyes of a new generation to the persecution of Christians around the world. Offering stories of martyrs past and present, it's a wake-up call to prayer and to lives of unashamed faith.
There are more Christian martyrs today than there were in 100 AD -- in the days of the Roman Empire. According to a study done at Regent University, there were close to 164,000 Christians martyred around the world in 1999. Their stories must be told.
The stories about religious persecution fill this hefty collection of anecdotal material and quotations compiled by the Christian rock band dc Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs, a non-profit interdenominational organization dedicated to assisting the persecuted worldwide.
In an introduction to the book, Michael Tait explains its purpose: "In a world built on free will instead of God's will, we must be the Freaks. While we may not be called to martyr our lives, we must martyr our way of life. We must put our selfish ways to death and march to a different beat. Then the world will see Jesus."
