Abstract:
"There's no doubt about it: we live in a dangerous world. But, instead of motivating Christians in the West to action, today's headlines appear to be paralyzing us. We were never called to live in fear. Even though the times we live in are frightening, we are right on course with the very plan of God for this world. Things are not falling apart...they're falling into place. Maybe it's time to learn from a new generation of believers in the Middle East who are rock-solid in their faith in Christ. They are unshakeable and refuse to run away by giving into their fear no matter how hot the furnace is heated. And it's getting hotter. All the stories in Standing in the Fire are true, and most of these modern heroes of our faith are former Muslims who now love Jesus wholeheartedly ... Their stories will reset your trust in God and elevate your faith to a new level"-- Page [4] of cover.
