Yet, the mainstream media ignores this pressing problem, and the voices of the oppressed are silenced. Therefore, this booklet aims to inform people worldwide about the terror of religious persecution and educate them about the many ways in which help can be offered to these individuals.
It explores the meaning of persecution, the kinds of persecution that exist and discusses the haunting history of the persecuted body of Christ.
