In America, we do often live in a Christian bubble. I know that sin has rampantly infiltrated our bubble, but the reality is most people have access to a Bible preaching church down the street or through the internet. We have an idea of how witnessing and salvation will go and we seek to accomplish it through various but predictable means.
Tom Doyle blew up all of my pre-conceived ideas about Christianity, witnessing, salvation, and outreach by revealing that my American way is not the only way. In fact, God sometimes does the work entirely by Himself.
No one doubts that the Middle East is dangerous place, and Doyle did an excellent job revealing the reality that even seeking God is a punishable-by-death offense. Let alone actually going to church, talking about God, owning a Bible, or questioning Islam.
You will be blown away by how God is reaching people in the Middle East. And if you are a skeptic, I assure you, Doyle will settle all of your questions throughout the book. This is a can't miss! Run, don't walk, to get this book anyway you can.
Parent's Notice - This book is intense, but appropriate for most audiences. I don't know that I would read as a bed-time story to my little ones, but a mature 7th grader could certainly read it. Also this would make great required reading for 9th grade students or higher who might be studying current events or the Middle East.
