It’s out! My new book, ENDING PERSECUTION, is now available in hardback and e-reader formats! I hope and pray it inspires fresh perspectives and renewed efforts to fight religious persecution. Get your copy wherever books are sold.

Though largely about persistence, Jesus also told the parable of the persistent widow to speak about God’s listening ear (and just response) to the requests of those who are persistent in their plea to him, writes Emily A. Cole of @caapnetwork.

Great to join @AnilKanda79 on Hope@Nite to discuss my book, religious persecution, and how Christians can respond. Also enjoyed meeting up with James Standish, Bettina Krause, and Alan Reinach, all Adventist leaders steadfastly committed to defending religious freedom for all.

Change of pace from my usual posts: Did you know the original KFC still operates? Check out my article for a Kentucky newspaper about leveraging this global brand to bring much-needed revenue and tourism dollars to a disadvantaged part of my home state. https://t.co/EFo3NtjbAv

As UNGA starts, check out my interview on Just Liberty about how advocates of int'l religious freedom face a perilous moment. While persecution persists, nations are retrenching towards hard interests, so we must recalibrate and recommit to human rights.

Reread Barbara Tuchman's classic "The Guns of August" about the outbreak of World War I. With engaging prose, she outlines the folly and self-delusion of those who refused to countenance the depths to which Europe could fall and the violence of 20th-century warfare.

Appreciated speaking to the @Pepperdine University community about my book, “Ending Persecution.” Great discussion and questions. (And a unique SoCal venue to meet in the library’s Surfboard Room!)

Grateful for the opportunity to speak at the Dialogue of Declarations conference in Tashkent. I've visited Uzbekistan many times over the years, and I always appreciate the warm and welcoming culture. It was great reconnecting with friends and experiencing Samarkand again.
