Captive in Iran

 WOW!  I just finished Captive in Iran by Maryam Rostampour, Marziyeh Amirizadeh & John Perry.  If I were to sum this book up in one sentence it would be "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.   Romans 8:28"  Maryam and Marziyeh's conversion story is amazing.  Being raised in an Islamic Regime that punished converts to Christianity by death, they were unhappy and unfulfilled.  Both had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ that forever changed their lives.  What they accomplished before their arrest was incredible in and of itself.  Their story is riveting.  What was an evil plot to destroy them, God used to lead untold others to Himself.  Regardless of being in the worst place on earth, they found love, joy, acceptance and total freedom to share Christ with others.  Truly an example of how God can use ANYTHING when we've surrendered to Him.
