Product Description
This is a powerful and inspirational challenge to the Western Church to take the systematic, symbolic and comprehensive attacks on Christians of all denominations around the world seriously. That Christians are persecuted in various parts of the world is well-known. Less often documented are the violent, systematic attacks on churches and holy sites. Part of an historic process, places of Christian worship have been destroyed over the centuries, from the middle ages through the Armenian genocide and the assaults on Christians in the Middle East and Turkey through to the present day. This book focuses on the continuing attacks on Christian communities in many parts of the world today. Baroness Cox presents graphic photographs and survivors' accounts as testimony to widespread destruction, and provides powerful documentary evidence of contemporary persecution. This is a powerful challenge to the rest of the Church, and advocates of religious freedom, to take these attacks on Christians of all denominations seriously. She writes, 'no other belief tradition has suffered such sustained assaults - or been so silent about violence perpetrated against its own people.'Though painful, the contents combine to provide a moving celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and the Christian faith.

The Very Stones Cry Out
How much consideration do most British churches give to Christians around the world who suffer for their faith? Baroness Cox and Benedict Rogers have travelled widely to record persecution faced by Christians in well-reported places like Burma, China, Iran and North Korea. But, in many other countries – Colombia, India, Laos, Sudan, Vietnam and others - Christians also face harassment, arbitrary arrest, imprisonment, torture or even death for their faith.
Many courageous Christians, facing persecution, continue to speak out on behalf of their communities. No other faith and its followers have suffered as much as Christians in recent years or do so today.
This invaluable survey competently introduces us to countries where persecution of Christians is endemic and frequently encouraged or used as official government policy. Here are stories of real people facing situations we can hardly imagine.
We owe Baroness Cox and Benedict Rogers a great debt for their efforts in providing us with this book which everyone should read. It encourages us, as Western Christians living in freedom, to be a voice for the voiceless. It should be used to raise awareness in our churches of what is happening in so many places today. It should encourage us to pray earnestly for the suffering Church.
