You hear inklings about the persecution of believers in other countries. Sometimes it is easier to not think about what our brothers and sisters endure when they remain firm in their belief in Jesus Christ. The Bible speaks many times about hardships some will face. Faith through persecution is a strong faith indeed.

Kathi Macias wrote Red Ink, a fictional story about a young mother who is placed in prison because of her faith in Christ. This story tells of her difficult and heart breaking trials. Macias divided her story between the two continents of China and America. Prayer warriors are supernaturally called to pray for a woman in prison in China, while also dealing with trials of their own. Macias does a masterful job of weaving the separate portions of the story together.

Though fictional, the persecution of believers is real. I enjoyed reading this book on my Kindle, even though it was very disturbing to think about the reality of persecution. Read this novel and see how you are called to pray and get involved.
