"So many brothers and sisters have been killed already that it seems our little group has the only empty graveyard in Syria. As of this writing, none of us have died yet. We rejoice by greeting one another with the words , 'The graveyard is still empty!' We all know it will not stay empty, but meanwhile we're grateful.'"

Killing Christians p. 41

Do you ever doubt the existence of Jesus or Heaven?
I do-- and it's not necessarily on bad days. Turning my eyes toward the beauty and intricacy of nature drowns my doubts. Only God could do that.
But, I have to tell you, the book "Killing Christians" will ever live in my heart as undeniable proof of God's existence and unfathomable love.
Doyle documents the experiences of many Muslims, to whom Jesus has come, via dreams and visions. Muslims are so grateful that Heaven is no longer a fearful-maybe, but rather a sure and certain truth.
However, the consequence of their conversion to Christianity is as certain as their next breath: beatings, torture, death.
Who would endure that for anything less than absolute truth?
