Defying ISIS

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In the summer of 2014, ISIS terrorists stormed into Iraq’s ancient Christian center and unleashed a genocidal jihad that exiled or killed every Christian man, woman, and child and laid waste to some of Christianity’s earliest churches. Half a world away, Johnnie Moore got on a plane and rushed to the region to help. In this book, he relates the stories of the survivors he met—firsthand accounts that give vivid testimony to a powerful Christian love that prevails against satanic violence straight off a Hieronymus Bosch canvass of hell. This primer also draws links between Christian martyrs of today’s Middle East and those of first century Rome, and ends with a warning to a complacent West. Every Christian in America should read it, and then help the persecuted.”

The Next Jihad

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The Next Jihad is a vivid and timely primer on the religious terror now targeting Christians in large regions of the African country of Nigeria. That, for its faith, this church community—the largest Christian community of the most Christian continent today—suffers relentless, unspeakable death and torment at the hands of those who align with Islamic State and other extremists should at once inspire us and serve as a warning. Yet Rev. Johnnie Moore and Rabbi Abraham Cooper show that the courageous witness of these African Christians is met by silence as their own government and the international community respond with cold indifference. Read this compelling book and learn why we should act while there is still time.”
