Killing Christians

Living the Faith Where It's Not Safe to Believe

By: Tom Doyle

Narrated by: Tom Parks

Length: 5 hrs and 48 mins

Publisher's summary

Could you retain your faith even if it meant losing your life? Your family's lives?

To many Christians in the Middle East today, a "momentary, light affliction" means enduring only torture instead of martyrdom. The depth of oppression Jesus' followers suffer is unimaginable to most Western Christians. Yet it is an everyday reality for those who choose faith over survival in Syria, Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, and other countries hostile to the Gospel of Christ.

In Killing Christians Tom Doyle takes listeners to the secret meetings, the torture rooms, the grim prisons, and even the executions that are the "calling" of countless Muslims turned Christians. All survivors long to share with brothers and sisters "on the outside" what Christ has taught them. Killing Christians is their message to listeners who still enjoy freedom to practice their faith. None would wish their pain and suffering on those who do not have to brave such misery, but the richness gained through their remarkable trials are delivered--often in their own words--through this audiobook. The stories are breathtaking, the lessons soul stirring and renewing. Killing Christians presents the dead-serious work of expanding and maintaining the faith.

An amazing message of hope

Incredible, inspirational stories of persecuted Christians. Read and your faith will be renewed. Great narrator.

Inspiring

Wow!

First, a minor complaint (for me, anyway). Mostly, the narration was fine. The one thing that I really did not like was when the narrator imitated a woman's voice. There is one particular story, where he is imitating two women talking, and it pulled me out of the story. Maybe I'm overreacting? Anyway, I still enjoyed it overall.

I read and hear of the things that happen to modern persecuted believers. But, to hear of particular individuals and their stories really makes it more meaningful

I know that not all who follow Jesus will experience what these people do. Nevertheless, the reality of His love and strength in their lives makes me even more aware of my hollow 'Christianity', and makes me question whether I am really following Him at all.

it will make your faith real

This was an outstanding book. The stories you hear are true and encouraging. The book ends with a message from believers in the middle east they dont want us to feel sorry for them. I think the church in America should be pitied more than anything. We are weak and shallow but maybe this book will help us get serious.

JUST GET THIS BOOK!!!!

This book is amazing!! Its worth your time and money. You will not regret it.

Courageous Faith

It was inspiring and heart wrenching to hear these saints serving Jesus despite the threats to their lives.

Very moving

This book enlightened me to what our fellow believers are going through quickening my heart to pray for them. It also caused me to search my own heart. God is God through all things! Written very well and read very well. I didn't want to put it down.

Essential Information for Christians

Here is the story of our brothers and sisters who a live in very real life risk due to their love of The Way.
Won’t you join us in total devotion to Him and become specific prayer warriors?

Eye opening, horrifying, inspiring

I met Tom Doyle a few years ago at a VOM conference. Only recently did I start reading his first book, “Dreams and Visions.” It was so good it inspired me to try this one. I was so inspired by the stories of these people who are risking (or have given) everything for Jesus. The narrator was outstanding also.

Truly humbled

I loved this book. I know about the struggles Christians face in those countries but hearing them like this hurt my heart and soul and made me feel awful for how much I have ignored and probably taken advantage of the freedom I have. Here are beautiful people that heard from Jesus through dreams and was so touched that they were ready to die if that was what they had to face. They put ever effort forward to get their hands on the word and yet here we are in America not seeing the beauty in having the freedom to freely pray and read his word on a daily basis. I'm truly humbled.

most important for the American Christian to read

Absolutely the very best thing to read and focus on right now as Christians, in the United States ,to focus on what is real in the world ( real persecutions )and the power of Jesus to save the soul that longs to know the truth.
