Tom Doyle - Standing in the Fire: Courageous Christians Living in Frightening Times

The Voice that I choose to listen tothe Voice of Gods Spiritspeaks loudly and clearly through these pages. And in a Middle Eastern accent! Through these former Muslims, now believers in Christ, the Spirit calls us to live all-out, all-in, with nothing held backfor the glory of Gods great name. The men and women who share their stories give powerful encouragement to answer that call and to stand in the fire with them... and with Him!

The call of the Lord Jesus is for His followers to be intentionally courageous. The call of modern culture is for His followers to be increasingly comfortable. Standing in the Fire will challenge those of us who are comfortable to envy and emulate our brothers and sisters who aretodayliving courageous lives, in service to the King who is worthy of our greatest acts of faith. Tom Doyle reports from the front lines with these stories that expose life that is truly life!

We all know about the fire burning in the Middle East. Just turn on the news; youll hear how that region is exploding, imploding, chaotic, and violent. Please, Christian friend, season your nightly news viewing with this important work from Tom Doyle. Open these pages and fellowship with our brothers and sisters standing in the midst of those flames. Theyre not just standing; they are boldly advancing the gospel, loving their enemies and winning them to Christ! This book shares both the stories of these bold believers and also practical ways you and I can incorporate some of their hard-won knowledge of walking with Christ. If you will let them, these stories will inspire you to follow Jesus more closely and challenge you to go boldly to those around you who dont yet know Him.

HOST, VOM RADIO, THE VOICE OF THE MARTYRS

Once again, Tom Doyle has put a face on the number one issue of the day. No, its not terrorism but rather, the big news is the spread of the gospel in the Islamic world. Having given their lives to Jesus, these brave believers have faced an enemy that wants them dead. While they may be standing in the fire, these courageous Christians know that one way or another as the prophet Isaiah declared, Through the fire (they) will not be scorched. Thank you, Tom, for sharing these stories so that we might see the world in a bolder, brighter way because of the good news of the cross.

Tom Doyle unveils compelling true stories from behind the front lines of a great spiritual battle to reveal the heart of God for His people, and their steadfast heart for Him. The faith and courage of these followers of Jesus under extreme persecution is an inspiration and example for us all. We will all benefit to learn, as these valiant Christians have experienced through relentless trials, that we are not alone, for Jesus is with us, standing in the fire.

Tom Doyles new book, Standing in the Fire, is a fast-paced, inspirational, and at times, very disturbing read. The testimonies of salvation and suffering ring with authenticity and will leave you breathless, tearful, and determined to follow the example of these former Islamic soldiers, who now love Jesus. This book will elevate your faith and propel you to a more committed public stand for the Messiah. I am so grateful that Tom and JoAnn Doyle have sacrificially collected these stories and brought them to us so that we can pray for our brothers and sisters who are regularly facing life-threatening opposition to their faith and ministries.

DR. MITCH GLASER

PRESIDENT, CHOSEN PEOPLE MINISTRIES

My heart always catches on fire when I read Tom Doyles stories about the astounding faith and extraordinary love exhibited by believers facing the most intense persecution on earth. Is it possible that God can work so powerfully in such dark and desperate places? Standing in the Fire humbles me and inspires me to become more like Jesus. Prepare to have your faith challenged, your heart convicted, and your sleep disrupted. I couldnt put it down.

We live in days that call for courageous faith from all who claim to follow Christ. But how do we transition from lives of fear to lives of faith? Tom Doyle and Greg Webster provide the answer in Standing in the Fire. The stories will inspire you. But more than that, they will introduce you to flesh-and-blood examples of what it means to courageously live out ones faith. This is a must-read book!

Standing in the Fire is a timely work; a must-read. Tom Doyle conveys compelling front line stories of courage and conviction from amazing people who daily face death. The American church will surely be inspired as they discover how followers of Jesus can thrive in the midst of staggering persecution, and to long for the time when our Lord will restore completely this fallen world.

This heart-pounding, page-turner raises your eyes to Jesus and Gods passionate pursuit of all people. These true stories helped me to see and pray for Muslims in a new light.

BRIAN HARDIN

FOUNDER, DAILY AUDIO BIBLE

While we hear of the moving of the Holy Spirit in the Middle East, very few know the actual stories and people whose lives are experiencing the presence of God. By taking us into the lives of these heroes of the faith, Standing in the Fire takes us through the veil into the supernatural. The Lord not only performed miracles in the past, He is performing modern miracles today. When you finish reading their testimonies, you will not be the same!

To Dad.
Youre my hero. Watching you I learned what its like to
live courageously, even joyfully, on the front lines. As an
FBI agent for more than thirty years, and an organized
crime specialist, you never backed down to the Mafia.
The other agents admired you and often told me, Jim
Doyle always gets his man. I pray for a generation of
believers with the same courage that only Christ can give
in the dangerous spiritual arena that we live in today.

T error-ism. The very word is rooted in fearmind-numbing, blood-chilling, heart-stopping fear. What could be worse than facing a person dedicated to indiscriminately destroying human life of any kindmen, women, and children? The target of terror can be anybody.

The influences around uswhether news reporters, politicians, or commentatorsseem to want nothing more than to deepen our fear of the violent forces in a world that appears to be coming apart at the seams just a bit more each day. In todays world, if were not careful, we can easily succumb to fear, and when we do, we can become a slave to it. The problem with living in fear is thatbesides flying in the face of more than two hundred biblical admonitions to not fearit can cause us to do the very thing we should not do. Let me explain.
