Safely Home - Randy Alcorn

A thought provoking novel on what it really means to be a Christian.  Would we be willing to endure hardships, torture, or even death for Jesus?  Could we honestly say our relationship with Him is that important?  Though Ben had led Quan to Christ during their college days at Harvard, their present day lives 20 years later were very different.  Quan lives in persecuted China.  Ben has a prestigious job at a company that has factories in China.  When Ben is sent to do marketing research in China his life intersects with Quan.  Alcorn develops the story with unique glimpses of those in heaven, including martyrs in Quan's family, looking down on the current day events.  Quan's life is nothing that Ben imagined it would be when they left Harvard.  Quan's devotion to Yesu has shaped his life into something Ben cannot comprehend.  Will Ben rediscover Christ?  Will Quan go to prison?  Will the human rights issues in China change Ben and his business practices?  An excellent look into the persecuted church by following the Li family and Ben.  Worth your time.
