It is a shame that the Western churches constantly forget about their Eastern brothers and Sisters. Christianity in Syria and Iraq is just as old as it it is in Greece and much older than in Northern Europe. But it are these Christians who over the last 2000 years suffer persecution again and again and are forced to seek refuge somewhere else. Some of them still speak Aramaen, just as Jesus did.
This book tells us about the situation in 2015, when Mosul and Aleppo were under the rule of ISIS, some personal stories of refugees who managed to get to Germany, and the history of these churches that, if things continue as they are, will be scattered all over the world and erased in their homelands.

This book describes the way in which a Christian man named Yousif escaped into Germany by being smuggled in a truck with a false back after having paid thousands of dollars in smuggling charges.
You will read how life is in some of the camps with little sanitation or necessary comforts like air conditioning or adequate heat.
You will learn how people fled for their lives with nothing to not be killed or tortured.
Some of the people who had to leave their homes have adjusted to living in a foreign country by learning a new language and making friends, but others are despondent, not working and have little social contact.
This book will cause you to consider what your faith means, would you deny your faith for comfort or would you confess your faith, die and gain eternal life?
