About this book

Understand Why God Allows Suffering and How That's Good News for Christians Facing Hardships

For more than a decade, Matt Rhodes has been a church planter in unreached Muslim countries. In that time, he's risked illness, difficult living conditions, and physical danger. He's also stood with new believers who were attacked for their faith in Jesus. Scripture tells Christians to expect trials in life. For missionaries, knowing God's good purpose for pain is essential for enduring harsh conditions on the field.
Ā 
Persecution in Missions: A Practical TheologyĀ presents a scriptural view of suffering, including its role in the Christian life and in the missionary task. Rhodes tackles challenging topics, such as when to flee or face risk, how to minister to those suffering for Christ, and the dangers of downplaying or romanticizing persecution. Reassuring readers with God's promises of redemption, this compelling study equips missionaries to face suffering and endure with joy.

  • A Biblical Theology of Suffering:Ā Explains why it's necessary for believers to suffer and how God redeems pain for his glory
  • Written for Missionaries, Pastors, and New Christians:Ā Supports readers as they fulfill the Great Commission, provide pastoral care, and pursue personal spiritual growth
  • Practical:Ā Offers realistic, gospel-centered answers to the issues missionaries face
