We must be reminded that there are forces outside the church warring against us. These forces at times can be and are merciless and treacherous. But we are informed through the word of God that we are more that conquerors in Christ Jesus. It is not just the outside forces which attack the church that present obstacles to the church that we want to emphasize and recognize, but primarily the inside forces that corrode and erode the infrastructure of the small church. It is tragic enough to deal with trouble from outside of the church, but it's worse when those who should work for the well-being of the church become part of the problem and not part of the solution. It's not the circumstances of life that people have little or no control over that directly holds the small church hostage, but it's the circumstances in life that people have a reasonable amount of, or a lot of control of, that holds the small church hostage. Through these writings, awareness, and enlightenment will come to this devastating quagmire that plagues many of our churches. We will no longer continue to be in danger of being The Church Held Hostage.

In 1993, Andrew Brunson was asked to travel to Turkey, the largest unevangelized country in the world, to serve as a missionary. Though hesitant because of the daunting and dangerous task that lay ahead, Andrew and his wife, Norine, believed this was God's plan for them. What followed was a string of threats and attacks, but also successes in starting new churches in a place where many people had never met a Christian. As their work with refugees from Syria, including Kurds, gained attention and suspicion, Andrew and Norine acknowledged the threat but accepted the risk, determining to stay unless God told them to leave. In 2016, they were arrested. Though the State eventually released Norine, who remained in Turkey, Andrew was imprisoned. Accused of being a spy and being among the plotters of the attempted coup, he became a political pawn whose story soon became known around the world. God's Hostage is the incredible true story of his imprisonment, his brokenness, and his eventual freedom. Anyone with a heart for missions, especially to the Muslim world, will love this tension-laden and faith-laced book.

Today in America, many Christians feel disillusioned as they watch the faith they hold dear being used to further a worldly political agenda. It is as if our religion has been taken hostage: forcibly wedded to a particular political ideology or economic system, or stripped down to a couple of hot-button issues, like abortion and same-sex marriage, as though to oppose these were the sum of our faith. Ironically, in our efforts to “take back America,” we have ourselves been taken captive by the prevailing culture and politics of imperialism, greed, racism, and xenophobia that surround us. And so the struggle for the soul of a nation has also become a struggle for the soul of the church. How can we regain a political voice that is neither power-hungry nor passive, neither conservative nor liberal, but simply Christlike in its concern for justice and the poor? Evangelical pastor and author S.J. Munson explores these issues from the perspective of both the Bible and history. What these have to say will both surprise and challenge us. Each chapter includes questions for group discussion or personal reflection, and a prayer. A great book for small groups or individual study!

"I would not encourage anyone to seek persecution, but as Christians, we should never deny ourselves the privilege of traveling on the path of suffering. It is a difficult path--but a glorious one." -Pastor Shen Xiaoming Shen Xiaoming is the pastor of millions. Founder of one of the largest underground churches in China, he is no stranger to persecution from China’s historically hostile government. Time and again, Pastor Shen has experienced deprivation, disease, and imprisonment for the sake of the incredible spread of the gospel in rural central China. But April 16, 2002, brought the persecution to a new level. Pastor Shen was kidnapped by the murderous Eastern Lightning cult after being lured into a supposed Bible conference. This dangerous cult believes that Christ returned in the form of a female Chinese leader, and they use force, torture, and indoctrination to gain followers. Yet again, Pastor Shen had to take a stand against evil. Here is his story.

"The feelings are real in each one of the 430 pages of the novel" -- El Tiempo, Colombian Newspaper "The book is a tale of love, suspense, shared emotions, and unstoppable hope. A must-read Thriller" "This book opened a horizon that I did not suspect, that of the relatives of the victims of violence....it narrates their immense pain, courage, endless love and faith." --Isabella Vernaza, NotiPacifico 90-Minutes TV News Manager, Ex-Hostage of the ELN guerrilla "A very emotionally intense story never told about the crisis that mass violence brings to its unnamed victims ... very well written and easy to follow" -- Fabio A. Andrade, Director Americas Community Center Throughout the novel, Save Your Prayers readers experience the previously untold stories of those who are left behind in the aftermath of tragedies, the pain they endure and the LOVE that guides them to preserve life as they once knew it. Myla always thought bad things could happen to other people but never to them, never to her. Head bowed, and eyes closed, the patriarch of the Vasquez family relied on Sunday morning mass to bring him peace and guidance in the week ahead. But when guerrilla soldiers stormed La Maria church with their machine guns at the ready, he knew it was not God's mercy he needed. Ignoring their prayers, Luis and all the other 180 congregants are whisked away. Luis's only hope for survival from the mountainous-jungle prison where he and others are held is his wife, Myla, who must negotiate with the guerrilla soldiers to secure his freedom while also ensuring the bills are paid and their now-fatherless children are cared for. But when Myla is the target of blackmail and her family betrays her trust, she is seemingly left without options. Only after connecting with other victims does Myla learn what she must do: go straight to the source and confront the guerrilla commander face-to-face. But will she have what he wants? Is she too late?

On any Sunday morning there are millions of people in the U.S. who go to church; many more in the rest of the world. They may also have an evening and a weekday service. That was my routine for most of my life. The writings that follow will seek to draw a comparison between, what I will call, man's churches, and the real Church of Jesus Christ. I am not proposing any kind of revolution. There will be no ugly criticism; just some thoughts. I will strive to show that it is a concern to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He wants all our love and I feel He is saddened over the heart, soul, mind and money we have kept from Him. Instead we have given these things to the pastors, priests, rites, services, budgets and buildings of man's churches.

Do bullies have free rein in our churches? Who are the bullies? What is scapegoating? Is it possible to practice the mercy and forgiveness demanded by Gospel ethics while also protecting people from emotional and professional damage? These are some of the questions that Stephen Finlan seeks to answer, looking for an ethic of behavior that is both spiritually valid and psychologically wise. He seeks responses to bullying that are both "wise" and "harmless" (Matt 10:16), that do not leave people helpless against the cruelty of church bullies. Bullying has become a major concern in schools and workplaces, but the church sometimes lags behind the secular workplace in its ethics.

This collection of essays, sermons, and prayers urges the church today to be the sort of community that sustains a vigorous and continuing conversation within itself as to who has called it into being, to whom it is responsible, and what it is called to be and to do. Jones reminds the church that it is an alternative political community called into being by the Gospel. This collection explores what it means to be such an alternative community in tumultuous times, in times when it is tempting to look to the world for answers, and to confuse loyalty to the nation-state with loyalty to God. A theme throughout all the writings is that the church is the necessary context for becoming and being a Christian.
