Lawrence K. Mok’s new book, When Persecution Causes Pain: A Message from Jesus and Paul, ($14.99, paperback, 9781498400626; $7.99, e-book, 9781498400640) addresses a matter that is, unfortunately, being witnessed throughout mainstream media on a daily basis. The author writes about persecution, specifically delving into what Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul say about it, which makes for a timely reminder. Both Jesus and Paul teach that God’s purposes for His persecuted people are to bear witness to the lost world; to transform and make them as His worthy followers; to show His sovereignty in all circumstances; and to demonstrate that He loves and cares for His own people in the midst of a hostile world.
