I have been reading the book "the Insanity of God" as recommended by my pastor Stephen Martin. It's hard for me to read for long periods of time. I get distracted easily and lose focus often.
But I must say wow! I read half the book yesterday and just couldn't put it down. Quite frankly I realized what a coward I am in proclaiming my faith compared to the men and women I have been reading about.
As American Christians we are perfectly comfortable and even bold, but only when the circumstances are safe and permissible. I have come to realize that a good measure of faith is what it takes to silence you in proclaiming truth.
The men an women I have read about so far considered hate and violent persecution just as common as the rising of the sun.
the Insanity of God is a must read. The author is Nik Ripken
