Take a 40-day journey to meet brothers and sisters who share in the sufferings of Christ. When Faith Is Forbidden takes you to meet a Chinese Christian woman who called six months in prison "a wonderful time," an Iraqi pastor and his wife just eight days after assassins' bullets ripped into his flesh, and others from our spiritual family who've suffered greatly for wearing the name of Christ. Each stop on this 40-day journey includes inspiration and encouragement through the story of a persecuted believer. You'll also find space for reflection and a suggested prayer as you grow to understand the realities of living under persecution—and learn from the examples of the bold believers you'll meet. For more than 20 years, Todd Nettleton (host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio) has traveled the world to interview hundreds of Christians who've been persecuted for the name of Christ. Now he opens his memory bank—and even his personal journals—to take you along to meet bold believers who will inspire you to a deeper walk with Christ.

"Todd's latest book When Faith Is Forbidden is truly inspiring and transformative. In nearly two decades of field ministry among the persecuted part of the body of Christ, Todd has lived among and sometimes through them. It's also transformative because these stories are not just testimonies, but more importantly they show that God gives life, smiles, and joy, even when His persecuted faithful are suffering because they do not conform to the world. Every Christian who desires to live a godly life in Jesus should read this book." BOB FU, Founder and President, China Aid Association, Former prisoner for Christ in China
