    What about a Christian response?
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2015*

This was, as others have noted, both easy to read and difficult....easy, fast read as to style, but extremely difficult subject.  While it was definitely informative, I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 (actually should probably have given 3) because in his section of what we can do I feel there is a glaring omission: prayer.  He basically says, get informed, be loving to Muslims, give financially to organizations who are on the ground.  Those are great suggestions, but what about the most powerful tool believers have: intercession?  I am part of a prayer group who intercedes, at God's direction, about specifics in this area and we consistently see answers in the news.  Intercessors shape history!  If we all took the horror and sadness we feel about this and turned it into prayer...praying the very presence of Jesus into the situations, praying redemptive prayers, declarations of victory against the evil, etc., it would be powerful!  And what about volunteering for these on-the ground-ministries?  Good information but he stops short of giving the church helpful tools to deal with it.

    Will touch your mind and heart!
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2015*

I read this book expecting to have my heart touched and I hoped get a clearer sense of what is going on over there. The news has been terrible in their coverage. I suspect because it is too dangerous to get video.  But the confusion is evident and about the only thing clear about the coverage.  If you want a clearer picture of ISIS and what is going on in the Middle East this is a short but essential book.  The author brings you up to date on the historic importance of the area and a better understanding of the role of Christians in the area.You also will get a very real picture of very real people.  The author brings them into your living room and you wish they could stay with you and be safe.  But then he stuns you!  They want to stay and rebuild their homes and communities!This book will humble you as you see the very real and deep Faith of these who have suffered so much.  This book should fill our churches with people praying and offering plates with gifts to bless our brother's and sister's.It is my prayer that God will use this book to support and bless the Church over there and awake this lethargic and sleeping Church in America.  THIS IS WHY GOD HAS BLESSED US!  So we can bless our suffering Church in the cradle of Christianity.

    SHOCKING! An expose′ on the greatest humanitarian crisis of our generation.
  

*by E***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2015*

I’m writing this review in the wake of the tragedy that transpired in Paris. Recently I picked up Johnnie Long’s book, Defying Isis: Preserving Christianity in the Place of Its Birth and in Your Own Backyard, and read the book with a certain awe and conviction as Long makes his readers aware of the bloodshed and persecution that is taking place at the behest of Muslim extremists.Long brings the history of the region as the cradle of Christianity into the discussion of the Middle East conflict. Many points of historical facts were unfamiliar to me and Long shows that we are not only losing a generation of Christians but we are losing a culture of Christianity and faith that has been present in the region for several thousand years.I admire that Long writes from the assumption of “American Exceptionalism” and genuinely believes that if enough good people stand against the tides of injustice than the tides will turn. I hope that everyone who has a heart will consider purchasing this book to raise awareness of the greatest humanitarian crisis of the century!-Edwin Handley
