The Martyr's oath by Johnnie Moore

Do not read this book unless you are prepared to be heartbroken and challenged by what so many of our brothers and sisters all over the world are going through to be a follower of Christ.
This book is nothing if not convicting, it shows how little we Christians in prosperous nations know what is going on in our world today and how little we truly "sacrifice" to follow Christ. This is a book filled with testimonies of those who have paid terrible prices for their faith, many losing their lives, the lives of those they love or just suffering unimaginable circumstances to follow Christ. They have counted the cost and have not been found wanting.
I know I learned so much reading this book, for instance I didn't know much about the Boko Haram     which is a much more deadly foe to Christianity than Isis.Their goal is to ethnically cleanse Nigeria of Christianity before moving onto the rest of Africa. I had heard of their attack on a government school in Nigeria and their kidnapping of over 200 girls some of whom still have not been recovered.
Filled with moving insight and heartbreaking stories this book stays with you long after you close the final page.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
