I earnestly believe that this is the book for us in this generation as we face an increasingly hostile culture that seeks to silence the Christian voice. Dr. Nyquist helps us face our foreboding future with optimism, reminding us that biblically and historically the church has always been the object of persecution by the world.

We urgently need to Prepare for the days ahead. This book shows us the way.Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer The Moody Church, ChicagoLuther once remarked that we should not be startled by persecution but strengthened by it. We must always remember that the Christian church was birthed in the context of persecution and that the Scriptures themselves teach that believers in Christ will be persecuted. In fact, the theme of suffering is interwoven in every book and text.
