I read her book, "A Boy Named Silas" very amazing story! Can't wait to read this book of hers as well! <br /><br />Unfortunately I think things are going to get worse rather than better for the persecuted church and we will be seeing more and more of it in this country. This cannot however keep us from praying like we have never prayed before.

I believe that believers are going to be persecuted always. It is our job to edify them through prayer, fasting and support. All believers don’t have the same cross to bear, but we all have A cross to bear, so that lifting up the body of Christ is the way to help all believers carry out their Kingdom purpose, praying earnestly for those who are in need of God’s grace and mercy as they lift Him up that all men would be drawn unto Him; and loving each other the way that Jesus defined love through His own short time with us here on earth. That kind of love is what we do emulate amiss. It would really help believers who are persecuted for us to show each other that love, and show it even more unto them.ETownshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337611390091671496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559913990860822675.post-35069044753732690922013-07-16T08:33:44.486-05:002013-07-16T08:33:44.486-05:00Amy, I think you've just introduced us to a ve...Amy, I think you've just introduced us to a very inspiring book and author as well. I look forward to reading Alana's book and writing about it on my blog soon.<br /><br />1) I have followed Alana on Facebook, Goodreads, and her blog.<br /><br />2) I have shared with several of my reading friends in various groups.<br /><br />3) I am familiar with Voice of Martyrs and think we tend to be a little complacent about worship at times, in light of all that is going on around the world. One of the missionaries in India that our church supports and who I have grown to love recently had their worship interrupted by soldiers. No one was killed, but many were injured and a pastor's wife lost her baby. The city government there used to be friendly to the missionary's family, but new leaders are now in power and they live under constant fear. My friend is bold about his faith and that inspires me. I doubt we can change governments, but God is in control and we need to constantly be in prayer for our brothers and sisters around the world.
