Publisher's Synopsis
Who will stand for Christ when darkness falls?
In Days of Darkness aims to settle unsettled Christian souls. For the first time, many believers are confronted by cultures hostile to their faith and values. Disoriented, these believers don't know how to respond, let alone how to help younger generations.
While new to Western audiences, believers in Iran, China, and the Arab world are no strangers to persecution-their experiences offer rich context on which Western Christians can draw to understand their own circumstances. This light provided by the persecuted will bless and encourage those stumbling in a new and unfamiliar darkness.
Author Andy Coleman's own observations and background also provide useful nuggets for Christians. His work responding to persecution and facilitating Christian missions in difficult regions helped him recognize important patterns. By splicing in threads of Christian history and current events, Coleman distills important concepts to help believers regain their bearings.
In Days of Darkness answers the most common questions Coleman receives when speaking with nervous Christians. Fear often lurks beneath the surface of these questions, and the answers cast out this fear with a little light, a dash of context, and a quick reminder of God's love.
Ordinary Christians sense the storm brewing and darkness rolling in. This guidebook shores up their confidence and courage and allows them to make wise, biblical preparations. In Days of Darkness provides hope in a simple, easy-to-digest manner and, God willing, will help individual Christians, local fellowships, and the Global Church stand.
