Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 I was 19 years old when I woke up that fall morning in the capital city of my Middle Eastern country. I was happy that it was Sunday, my favorite day of the week. I was going to church. My family had converted to Christianity, which my father did not support.#2 I was afraid for my parents, but I was not afraid for myself. I felt confident that God was on our side, and that He would protect us. I walked out of the house and raised my face to the sunlight, praying that God would show my father how much He loved him and His other children.#3 I was always safe in my sister’s dorm room, because of the presence of the Lord. I was always welcomed by my friends at choir practice, because I was laughing.#4 The joy of the Lord is my strength, and my light, and my salvation. I was excited to be a part of the church, and I was thrilled by the pastor’s message about persecution.
