Understanding Islam

Islamists and leftists found common cause in Iran’s 1979 revolution. Within years, the Islamic regime had turned on former allies. What can Iran’s history teach Western Christians as socialism finds an audience among young people and fear of intolerance can make difficult ideas harder to question? Through powerful stories from inside Iran — of freedoms lost, costly faith and lives transformed by Jesus — discover both a sobering warning for the Western Church and a message of something stronger than fear: courage, truth, intimacy with Jesus and confidence that God is in control.
