FAITH UNDER FIRE IN SUDAN

In response to increasingly urgent requests for reprinting our bestselling Faith Under Fire in Sudan book, Dr. Peter Hammond undertook a complete revision and expansion of Faith Under Fire in Sudan. This new, thoroughly revised third edition, at 320 pages and including over 200 pictures and maps, is three times larger than the first edition, which was published in 1996. With Sudan’s first elections taking place in 2010 and the historic Referendum on Secession for Southern Sudan in January 2011, the urgency of producing this book, both in hard cover and in soft cover, pushed Dr. Hammond to work around the clock until we had the most up-to-date and comprehensive book on Sudan, ever produced. Some schools immediately made it one of their set work books. Requests were received to forward copies of the book to the office of the President of Southern Sudan, Salva Kiir. Each of the bishops and other church leaders from Sudan at the Cape Town 2010 Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelisation received copies of the book.

This book includes many previously unpublished pictures and compelling new stories of the oldest community of Christians in the largest country in Africa, suffering some of the worst persecution, in the longest war of the 20 th century, and yet with the fastest church growth and with more Muslims coming to Christ than anywhere else that we know of.

From a missionary perspective, Sudan is a most strategic country in the 10/40 window. Sudan was the last country to become Muslim, and it could be one of the first countries to be liberated from Islam. There are millions of Evangelical Christians in Sudan, most of whom know Arabic. Many of them come from a Muslim background.

Frontline Fellowship’s best selling book on Africa’s forgotten war is available again.  This new, much expanded and thoroughly revised third edition is 320 pages and includes over 200 pictures and maps.  Faith Under Fire takes you behind the lines of one of the longest wars of recent years, and introduces you to the unforgettable Christian heroes of this colossal conflict.

“What a story, what courage to obtain it, what determination it displays about the Sudanese Christians who do not succumb to Islam in its cruelest and worst manifestation in the world today! Would what Christians around the world were to read this sobering account and support our brothers and sisters in the Faith in prayer, publicity and practical help… Faith Under Fire in Sudan is a vital publication … it deserves a global distribution.” Patrick Johnstone, WEC Missionary, Author of “Operation World”, England
