About the Book

The Question Is Not IF Attempts Will Be Made to Limit Religious Freedoms, But When

John Luther, simply wants to share the Gospel and enjoy a quiet life with his family. He never asked to be at the center of a political controversy, but an ill wind has been blowing through the halls of Congress, and supporters of a new religious-equality bill see Luther's endorsement as critical.  When Luther refuses to lend his support, he unknowingly sets in motion an explosive plan bent on destroying his reputation and undermining everything for which he stands. His once-normal life is turned upside down as he becomes a fugitive left with only one dangerous option--putting everything he holds most dear at risk while he fights to expose the truth. It is a mission that brings him face-to-face with the coming storm of persecution that could threaten the very fabric of our nation's freedoms.

What I thought

I have to admit that normally, I am not into suspense books, thrillers or even fiction for that matter. I love gobbling up homeschooling, homemaking and get-me-closer-to-God books. I got this one in the mail to review and it sat on my desk for nearly a week before I mustered up the will to dive in. But once I did.. Wow! This was hard to put down. I read it while making dinner, bathing the toddlers, before dozing off in bed and any other free moments I could find during the day. I even carried it around in my purse so I could pull it out, should I find myself waiting somewhere. I finished the book in 3 days. Seriously. I haven't finished a book in 3 days since before having kids. The fast-paced story keeps you guessing and wondering what will happen next. How will John Luther ever make it out of this mess??!! This riveting book was a refreshing change from my normal reading routine, perhaps I have misjudged the fictional world??




Persecuted is written by Robin Parrish, a journalist who's written about the intersection of faith and pop culture for more than a decade. He's also the author of Offworld and The Dominion Trilogy.

The book is based on a Daniel Lusko Film, opening in July, 2014.
