The Persecuted Church in the Late Twentieth Century (with Rev. Paul Marx and Stephen Dunham)

This well researched world survey of religious freedom in the 1980s proves that Christians were persecuted virtually everywhere in the world as late as the past decade, as they are today in many places. Stories of contemporary Christian heroes and heroines - Catholic, Methodist, Baptist - are interspersed throughout the book. Read about the heroic Polish priest, martyred for solidarity; the Methodist minister hunted and shot at in Haiti, the Baptist missionary kidnapped in Africa. Reading this book reminds us of the blessings of religious freedom in the United States, but points out that even here we have to watch for problems.
