Riveting, powerful, disturbing, even overwhelming stories of the grace of God, and of costly love for Christ.Lindsay Brown, Former General Secretary, IFES and former International Director, Lausanne Movement. These are stories the world needs to hear, and Christians need to know. Don Cormack knew and loved and served so many of these brothers and sisters who loved Jesus more than life itself. With depth and compassion he brings us their voices first-hand, tracing the beautiful fruit borne out of the killing fields.Mark Ellis, CEO Keswick MinistriesThere is a kind of suffering so heinous, it is beyond telling. Yet when Christ's redemptive grace floods the scene, that same suffering takes on an exalted glow of glory. It's what I experienced in reading these powerful stories.
