Jesus Freaks by dc Talk + the Voice of the Martyrs

 Jesus Freaks (Stories of those who stood for JESUS, the ultimate Jesus freaks) by dc Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs is an updated and revised release of the classic book originally published in 1999.  First, we need to acknowledge the legendary Christian rap group, dc Talk which had a part in putting together this book based off their song "Jesus Freak".  Members, Michael, Toby and Keven each had a part in contributing to the book.

In the book, short stories are shared of various individuals as they have often suffered tragedy for standing for their Christian faith. The stories are shared of various Bible characters, as well as individuals from time moving forward up until about 2018.  These stories are sometimes hard, but also challenging and inspirational.   At the end of the book, there is a listing of hostile and restricted countries in the world today.  


Jesus Freaks is eye opening, sometimes difficult to read, but also inspiring.  It highlights the ramifications of being a Christian in the world today. I appreciated both the stories of the past and the recent stories. I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review, which I was happy to do. I would recommend the valuable and honest book.
