Hearts of Fire: Eight Women in the Underground Church and Their Stories of Costly Faith [Paperback]

The Voice of the Martyrs (Author), Gracia Burnham (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2003

Eight women from eight very different backgrounds. Yet the struggles they each faced rang with eerie similarity. These courageous women from across the globe-Pakistan, India, Romania, Former Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, Nepal, Indonesia-shared similar experiences of hardship, subjugation, and persecution, all because of their faith in Christ. Yet all of these women have emerged from adversity as leaders and heroines.

The eight modern-day pilgrims featured in Hearts of Fire are the hidden jewels in the church universal. They are worthy role models of faith and passion, and women of every age will gain new strength and hope for their own times of crisis and trial as they read these inspiring stories. Each story concludes with thoughtful self-reflection questions for the reader.

This review is from: Hearts of Fire: Eight Women in the Underground Church and Their Stories of Costly Faith (Paperback)

Touching and heart-tugging. Certainly an emotional pull. But I must say, I greatly prefer another book of the genre, "Daughters of Hope: Stories of Witness and Courage." It not only covers women from far more countries, but it goes beyond the emotional pull. It gives clear prayer and activity responses, country by country, giving guidance as to what we can do. I don't want to know unless I also know how to respond.

Do you think you have a hard life?
Have you truly ever been persecuted for your faith in the United States of America?
What price have you paid for your faith?
What has it cost you to stand alone?
What would you do?
Where would you find the courage?
How would you submit to a life of slavery?
How would you handle having your family torn apart, your husband taken away from you and you being forced to marry someone who is not only an unbeliever, but one who denounces your faith?

Dry your own eyes, and cry for some of these Sisters. You will also rejoice with them.
Above all else, you will not only meet these precious women on the pages of this book, but you will meet them when we are gathered together in Gods' Kingdom.

Whether you are a Believer in the Lord Jesus Christ or not, this book is a remarkable testimony to Gods' faithfulness and love.
The paths they have walked and the victories they've overcome, are nothing short of DIVINE.

Read these accounts to your children. Share this book with friends. This book is a treasure.
Meet these Eight extraordinary women now, so you will recognize them when you see them in the future.
