Persecuted for His Name

For hundreds of thousands of Christians from Muslim backgrounds, these ancient words are not history — they are today's reality. Rejection by family, loss of children, imprisonment, violence, and even death are the daily costs of following Jesus in the Arab and Islamic worlds. Converting to Christianity is treated not merely as a change of religion, but as a betrayal of culture, family, and identity — a crime demanding punishment.

This is not a distant reality. Across North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia, men and women who have chosen Christ face overwhelming pressure from governments, communities, and their own families. They lose jobs, homes, and custody of their children. Some are imprisoned. Some are killed. And many suffer in complete silence, with no one to stand alongside them.

Persecuted for His Name gives voice to those who suffer in silence. Drawing on real testimonies and rigorous research, this compelling study examines every dimension of persecution faced by Muslim Background Believers (MBBs) — from social ostracism and economic pressure to the unique hardships endured by women, children, and diaspora communities.

The book also turns a searching eye toward the global Church: Do we truly understand what our brothers and sisters are enduring? Are we walking with them — or leaving them to walk alone?

Grounded in Scripture and rich with human stories, this is essential reading for pastors, missionaries, intercessors, and every believer who wants to understand and respond to one of the most urgent crises facing the global Church today.

Because knowing their story is the first step to standing with them.
