I received a copy of this book free of charge from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. It is written full of facts of the reality of the true persecutions that take place toward Christians around the world and I know this book alone is not exhaustive of all cases. It is eye opening and helps the reader get a good grasp on the world around them regarding how Christians in general are viewed.

The author also helps the reader understand some of the reasons behind certain kinds of persecutions and myths regarding these as well. It is a book that we need to really see to be awaken from our slumber in the west. We do take for granted our freedom of religion. It is hard to see beyond ourselves but there are so many others out there sharing their faith in difficult circumstances.

This book discusses in detail the top twenty countries that it is hardest to be a Christian. It discusses certain reasons for this based on the culture. I think most Christians should read this book just to get an insight into other places around the world and how Christianity is viewed. It is helpful indeed.

The author then ends by explaining what can be done. I do highly recommend this book.

You can get a copy on Amazon here.
