The Heavenly Man: A dramatic autobiography of one of China's dedicated, courageous, and intensely persecuted house church leaders. Have you read this book?

Conservative blogger, Michelle Malkin, has been faithfully following the unfolding story with the Korean hostages that were taken a few days ago. Michelle writes, "Second hostage reportedly killed…World yawns…Taliban will kill more…"

Fox News and other news agencies are reporting that a second Korean hostage has been killed by the Taliban. There is also video available with this news item, which you can watch here.

Last week we told you that Cindy over at Inspiration Korner would be blogging for the persecuted church over a 24 hour period. What a blessing you are to us!

I found this testimony of persecuted Christian Abraham Bentar on God Tube. Listen to what he has to say.

Yesterday I reported that one of the 23 Korean hostages of the Taliban was found murdered. Today news reports are saying that the Taliban is "negotiating" over the release of the other 22 captives. I question how serious this "negotiation" is because according to the Guardian Unlimited website the demands are unclear.

This morning as I thought about you who read this blog and also the many brothers and sisters we have worldwide who are suffering for their faith in Christ Jesus, I wanted to remind you of a passage of scripture that speaks to the church who is persecuted for Jesus.

In another interesting twist to this story about the Korean hostages, english.chosun.com and The Christian Post are both reporting that their is anti-Christian sentiment being spewed on the Internet.
