Official government documents say that evangelical Christians are potential terrorists; and some Christian groups are even called hate groups. Christian doctors and nurses are being forced to perform abortions; and a Christian baker has been threatened with prison for not baking a wedding cake for a homosexual couple. Christians in Colorado; New York; and Kentucky are being forced to go through sensitivity training in order to rehabilitate from their religious beliefs and resulting moral convictions. When Communists did such things to American soldiers; we called it brainwashing. American Christians are in the early stages of persecution; and it is increasing. Unfortunately; many will be blindsided by it because few pastors and church leaders are warning about it or preparing believers for it. The first part of How to Prepare for Hard Times and Persecution is based on years of research into current events from a biblical perspective. It discloses what is happening; how we got there; and where we are heading. The second part gives encouragement from Scripture and biblical principles for dealing with the challenges of the perilous times in which we live. As Christians; we cannot afford to compromise our faith. We need to believe and obey the inspired Word of God. We need to be prepared to respond to persecution biblically instead of reacting to it carnally.

8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Interesting memoir...By Jill MeyerGraphic novels or works of non-fiction are a different read from written books. They take less time to read but the starkness of the art can give a more penetrating look at the subject. And so it is with Amy Kurzeil's "Flying Couch: A Graphic Memoir"; a book of art about mothers/daughters of two or more generations and both the joys and the worries each bring the other.Amy's maternal grandmother - Lily; born Luba - lost her whole family in the Holocaust. She survived by living as a Christian with false identity papers. Part of the book is about her life during the Holocaust; and the rest is about her life when she emigrated to the US after the war with her husband and daughter; Sonya; who is Amy's mother. Amy's family lived outside of Boston but met up with her grandmother fairly often.Amy book's also includes her own journey as a Jewish woman; with the Holocaust in the not-so-far past and figuring out her own part in the Jewish future. Sonya; the generation between Lily and Amy; has her own worries. Amy Kurzweil's memoir is interesting and is a fresh look at the generational dynamics of Jewish families.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I enjoyed the author's perspectivesBy SharifI didn't connect to the story until about a quarter way into it. Once I settled into its rhythm; I enjoyed the author's perspectives; the roles of her mother and grandmother in her life; and where she was headed in the future. I also appreciated the graphic memoir format.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy SExcellent book; powerful story. I really enjoyed the synthesis of art and story.
