More Christians were persecuted for their faith in the 20th century than all previous centuries combined, and it is increasing at an alarming rate. In recent years, the number has even doubled from the year before. Americans don't yet understand this reality, but could very soon become a part of this statistic. How can you gain the peace of mind and spirit you need to endure and overcome in the event of persecution and martyrdom, economic devastation, or other tribulations that may come to you? God's Word actually has plenty to say to us about how to prepare for these times. In this book you will discover what God's purpose is in your suffering and why you should not fear it. You will also learn how you can spiritually and mentally prepare yourself so that you will be able to endure persecution without falling away and denying your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as He warns will happen to many Christians. Whether you will eventually encounter the Great Tribulation with a capital "T" or tribulations with a small "t," the work required to successfully pass through it is your responsibility alone. No one else can do the preparation for you. How well you prepare will determine your eternal destiny, rewards, and inheritance.
