Before I picked up Dreams and Visions by Tom Doyle, I was inspired to read Killing Christians by Doyle. Something about this book stuck out to me, but I didn't like the title and kept ignoring it. After several weeks, this book popped back into my personal recommendations list and I decided to go for it.
Having read this book before Dreams and Visions and not even knowing the full background, I was plunged into the dangerous but lively world or the Middle East, where God is at work in the hearts and lives of so many people. I could not put this book down. I was amazed at all that God is doing and the faith that these people have in the face of threats such as ISIS and guaranteed death. I was surprised but thrilled by the connections to the Bible through prophecy and simple locations. My faith was humbled and challenged. Killing Christians is definitely a must read! I will definitely be referencing this book in my history and Bible classes.
This book is like a sequel to Dreams and Visions and written in the same manner. It has additional stories and follow-ups to the previous book. Something that I particularly liked was this book is very current. The stories are as recent as 2013 and 2014 and deal with people, places, and terror groups that we hear about in the news today.
Parent's Notice - Recommended reading for 9th grade and up or equivalently mature.
