- excellent bookReview by M. F. Buckland

As a representative for Christian Solidarity Worldwide, I find that this is the only book which covers the whole subject of the persecuted church, and it manages to do so in a highly readable manner. Boyd-MacMillan writes from first hand experience of the church in every continent of the world in an engaging, readable manner that is as informative about the dynamics of modern world politics as it is about the costly nature of Christian witness on the front line. It explains what persecution means and what it does not, its place in history and in our world today.Rating
Right from the first chapter, which offers a surprising new perspective on the place of Mao Tse Tung in history, I found this to be an excellent book which was hard to put down. (Posted on 29/09/2016) - Are you prepared to be challenged?Review by Passionate Pete

If you are serious about your Christian faith and you are open to being challenged then I heartily recommend this book. It will change your attitude and understanding towards the persecuted church. In the West, most of us are too comfortable in our faith. After the Bible, this is probably the best Christian book I have read. (Posted on 29/09/2016)Rating
