The Challenge: VICTORY!

A Survival Manual

for Christians Living Under Pressure

 

PREFACE

This manual is the result of years of research done by Open Doors with Brother Andrew personnel in many restricted countries of the world. As the materials were gathered and compiled, it became apparent that the key to victorious survival identified in restricted countries could be valuable in any context.

This manual was intended to be used as a guide for a home Bible study, and does not require a trained teacher as the leader. It is our prayer that in this way the content may prove valuable to many lay Christians.
