Door to Freedom by Jana Kelley

It's rough and it's smooth. It's dark and it's light. It's a masterpiece. It's us. Here in Sudan. We are scared of it and drawn to it. There is an open door, and there is much opposition.

In the dusty, Islamic country of Sudan, Mia, who is raising her family in a Muslim country, has learned to boldly share her faith. Rania, the daughter of a wealthy Sudanese Arab, seeks to find the reason for her sister's sudden disappearance. Mia holds some of the answers, but both women quickly discover they must each walk through their own doors to freedom, the freedom that only comes when you trust God's sovereignty more than manmade security.

Part of New Hope Publishers' line of contemporary missional fiction, Door to Freedom, the sequel to Side by Side, opens the reader's eyes to modern-day persecution and the life of Muslims in Sudan. Based on real-life events, Door to Freedom also reveals some of the struggles that Christians face when living under Islamic law. The reader will be inspired to pray for those who are persecuted for their faith as well as for the salvation of the persecutors.

My Thoughts:

This book reminded me of the missionary books my mom would make me read in the summer, vivid with sights and smells. I liked the honesty of the book. I have no idea how I'd handle living in a Muslim country where Christian's are persecuted. We know that missionaries place their lives on the line when they go to a foreign country to share the salvation of Christ, reading some of the life and death events gave me a new appreciation of the dedication they have to bring God's word to the unsaved.
