Recommended Book: IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS: A biblical theology of persecution and discipleship. (PDF free download)

Make time to read, contemplate, and "gird up your minds for action" (1 Peter 1:13). The marginalization of Christians is already started and is increasing rapidly. Our normalcy bias tells us that full-blown persecution won't happen here in America, but we are not living in the America of our fathers. Our culture has radically shifted off it's Christian foundation and it being rebuilt upon the sifting sands of atheistic cultural marxism through globalist influence. To stand for Christ and the truths of the Bible will be increasingly costly. We must get our hearts and minds established in the truth of the Word of God.

This book is a deep dive into the Scriptures to lay a solid foundation on what the Bible teaches believers to expect as they live out their faith in a world system opposed to gospel of Jesus Christ. This is not a sit-down-and-read-it-through kind of book. Take time to read and ingest it. To pray about your heart response to its truths.
