Could you retain your faith even if it meant losing your life? Your familys 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 readers to the secret meetings, the torture rooms, the grim prisons, and even the executions that are the calling of countless Muslims-turned-Christians.

Each survivor longs to share with brothers and sisters on the outside what Christ has taught them. Killing Christians is their message to readers 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 deliveredoften in their own wordsthrough this book. The stories are breathtaking, the lessons soul-stirring and renewing. Killing Christians presents the dead serious work of expanding and maintaining the Faith.

When youre looking for real-life accounts of 21st Century believers whose lives are literally at stake for their beliefs, it demands the credibility of a man who has the smell of the front lines of the battlefield on his clothes because he was there yesterday and will be back there tomorrow. Im proud to say my friend Tom Doyle is that man.

Through the pages of Killing Christians I have heard the command of Jesus reverberating through the martyrs voices, Deny yourself. Take up your cross. Follow Me. The men and women who have answered that summonswhose gripping stories Tom Doyle so movingly and powerfully shares in these pagesare my role models. They are authentic disciples. Their thrilling testimonies have put tears on my face, praise in my heart, fervency in my prayers, and renewed vigor to my steps as I, too, seek to follow Him.

Killing Christians tells real-life stories of faith in action. These spiritual headlines from the persecuted church demonstrate theres another, deeper story unfolding behind the news of our day.

CHRIS MITCHELL

CBN MIDDLE EAST BUREAU CHIEF AND AUTHOR OF DATELINE JERUSALEM

It turns out that the cloud of witnesses mentioned in the book of Hebrews apparently have some kindred spirits modeling faithfulness right before our eyes today. If you are looking to be encouraged, challenged, and spurred on in your own life of faith pick up this book.

TODD WAGNER

PASTOR OF WATERMARK CHURCH, DALLAS, TX

When I saw the title Killing Christians my heart sank and I wished that this book never had to be written. But then I read it. I felt like I was reading accounts from the Book of Acts. This is not about doom and despair, but about the special grace that Jesus gives to our brothers and sisters in the midst of suffering. You will be strengthened and blessed as you are moved to join hands with these strong followers of Jesus who stand for Him even in the face of prison or even death.

ARTHUR BLESSITT

GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FOR CARRYING THE CROSS IN EVERY NATION OF THE WORLD

As the twenty-first century unfolds, it is looking much like the first century for Christians. Persecution is everywhere. But, there are modern-day heroes of the faith who are showing us how we may all live hopefully and triumphantly for Christ even in the midst of extreme danger. Killing Christians will bless you and you will be encouraged to stand stronger in your own journey with Christ.

Killing Christians is a penetrating look at whats happening on the front lines of the Churchs greatest spiritual battle today. As in the first century, Christians are experiencing widespread persecution for their faith in Christ. Yet, the true stories in Killing Christians are miraculous accounts of Gods faithfulness as believers live in the midst of ISIS, Hamas, The Brotherhood, and other terrorist regimes. Their stories will inspire you and refresh your faith!

DR. CHARLIE DYER

PROFESSOR-AT-LARGE OF BIBLE AND HOST OF THE LAND AND THE BOOK RADIO PROGRAM

Though todays headlines look grim, the resolve of the believers you meet in Killing Christians will inspire you and warm your heart. These true-life accounts take you to the front lines of the war that has been declared on Jesus church. Yet in the midst of this war, the saints are shining brightly and their stories will thrill you! This book is awesome.

RAY BENTLEY

PASTOR OF MARANATHA CHAPEL, SAN DIEGO, CA, AND AUTHOR OF THE HOLY LAND KEY

There are more Christian martyrs today than at any other time in human history, which has been largely ignored by the press until recently. I am grateful that Tom has made known these remarkable stories of courage and conviction.

CONTENTS

THE PEOPLE WHOSE stories you are about to read have endured the unendurable. Their suffering is so profound and their lives so worthy of respect that we want to be sure there is no mistaking the validity of what you read in these pages. In keeping with the gravity of the circumstances and with what the survivors still face, weve had to make a few changes.

The stories are not fiction. These are real people. While some stories involve the actual locations, others do not. But with every miracle, every answered prayer, every miraculous escape, as well as every bomb blast, each torture session, and each painful death, all occurred as recounted in these stories.

The narrative remains true to actual events, although weve at times modified such components as dialogue and physical descriptions. Each concluding message from a persecuted believer is presented in writers English rather than in his or her own words, so nothing is lost in the translation.

Finally, as you read, please join us and pray for these new friends you are about to meet. Their lives are worthy of recognition, and their only request is that none of the glory would go to them as servants. That honor, of course, is reserved for their King alone.

September 2014

Forty Egyptian churches burned to the ground

House church leaders sentenced to Irans infamous Evin prison

Eighty Christians murdered in North Korea for merely owning a Bible

Believers nailed to crosses in Syria

AND THATS THE news from just one month in 2014.

After that, it got really bad. In summer 2014, a shocked world witnessed the phenomenal rise of ISIS, now known as the Islamic State. Within weeks, a path of destruction swept through Syria and Iraq, leaving unimaginable carnage in its wake. The brutality of ISIS and its global jihadist agenda is reminiscent of the Assyrian Empire in the Old Testament. The Assyrians leveled villages and cities with such ferocity that, in the eighth century BC, the mere mention that Assyrians were on their way prompted some villages to commit mass suicide rather than be skinned alive, impaled, taken as slaves, or allow women to be abused and kidnapped. In a fascinating twist of history, ISIS was birthed in the same region as the Assyrians, and one of the organizations major objectives is now clear: to eradicate any presence of Christianity.

But ISIS is not alone in its quest against biblical faith. Christianity is under fire across the globe. Jesus lovers are hated in dozens of countries and often pay a gruesome price for following Him. Killing fields have become common, but this book isnt written to sound the alarm for the persecuted church. Others have already sent out the alert, and thankfully, many are listening. What the alarms cant tell you, though, is the inside human cost of following Jesus in the twenty-first century.
