12 lessons the Church taught me
In Transylvania, Trajan, recently released from prison, is no longer allowed to meet Christians, but he has not said his last word. In communist Romania, the smuggling of Bibles is organized. In Syria, Mehdi Dibaj is threatened with death, but the French media miraculously take up the matter.
Sri Lanka, Iraq, Ukraine, Kenya… When he entered Open Doors, did Michel Varton suspect that he would lead a cult in a prison in Khartoum, or be taken, blindfolded, to the home of a dangerous Colombian guerrilla?
The author thought he was “helping” the persecuted Church, he comes back exhorted and transmits to us the message she entrusted to him. Here or there we follow the same Jesus... Are we ready to pay the price? Do we cherish every page of God’s word? Do we move mountains through prayer? What role does suffering play? What are martyrs for? What are the devil's tactics to divide us?
A thrilling story, enhanced with a surprising rereading of the Gospels: you will delve behind the scenes of the very first persecuted Church and understand better why Jesus sends us into the world, “as the Father has sent me”!
