Product Description
From Afghanistan to Turkey, from Nepal to South America, those who call Jesus friend and Savior are ridiculed, their faith scrutinized, and above all, find their lives at risk--all for the sake of Christ. Now you can discover the great faith of these men and women who--though tortured, persecuted, imprisoned, and physically scarred--serve the King of Kings and count it all joy in this 160-page paperback, Better Than Life. Better Than Life is a modern-day chronicle of amazing people who, though they face countless tribulations, endure triumphantly to serve the living Savior even unto death.
From the Back Cover
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you (Psalm 63:3).
Today, millions of Christians around the globe take comfort in the truth that Christ's love is better than life. Persecution is a contemporary reality for many believers throughout the world who endure imprisonment, beatings, torture, loss of family and friends, and the ultimate price for their faith--death.
A companion to the Discovery House Music CD of the same title, Better Than Life tells the amazing stories of believers who follow Christ at any cost. You will be challenged and inspired by the examples of underground church leaders in China, missionaries who serve God in dangerous regions, and the ordinary people God chooses to share in the sufferings of Christ, who bring glory to His name.
- Persecution Watch articles give you information about the modern nations that are most oppressive to Christians so that you can pray more effectively.
- Excerpts from the writings of well-known Christian leaders help you see the problems of persecution and suffering from God's perspective.
- Examples of brothers and sisters who live in that love that is better than life and cling to the hope of the gospel will encourage you to be bold in your own faith.
