Michelle, it’s very thought-provoking! I hope your group does read it!

Wow. This one left me thoughtful and a bit shaken. Would I step on a picture of Jesus in order to save others from torture? Does Christianity need to flex and bend to be relevant in non-western cultures? (But Jesus lived in a non-western culture….) I’m going to nominate this one for my reading group, although I don’t think I could answer any of the questions the book raises.

I loved that book. So well written and offered many thought-provoking moments about Christian faith. I am so used to Christianity being a dominant Western religion that it was interesting to read about persecution Christians experienced. Very eye-opening!

Petunia, it’s not too graphic. It’s not really violent, though it does describe some aspects of the torture. I’m a wimp when it comes to things like that, and I didn’t think it was too bad.

Amy, I’ll look forward to your review!

Thanks for the review Michelle. I requested this from PBS. I look forward to reading it.

This one sounds good but is it graphic? Does it have violence? I don’t know that I could stomach reading about the ways one man can torture another man.
