"Your love is better than life . . .
my lips will praise You."—Psalm 63:3
From Afghanistan to Turkey, from Nepal to South America, those who call Jesus friend and Savior are ridiculed, their faith scrutinized, and above all, find their lives at risk—all for the sake of Christ.
Now you can discover the great faith of these men and women who—though tortured, persecuted, imprisoned, and physically scarred—serve the King of Kings and count it all joy in this 160-page paperback, Better Than Life.
Better Than Life is a modern-day chronicle of amazing people who, though they face countless tribulations, endure triumphantly to serve the living Savior even unto death.
See for yourself! You can read three stories from Better Than Life right here, at no cost: stories of faith and passion for God and His life-transforming righteousness.
1) In Nepal, Manja Tamang is serving a twenty-year sentence in prison for a crime he did not commit. Because he calls Jesus Lord, he has been accused of murder, yet declared guiltless by the victim's wife and has moved from being a Gospel for Asia missionary on the streets to a preacher in prison, where he serves at "the pleasure of my King."
2) In Peru, David de Vinatea, now an RBC Ministries' staff member, went from being a respected Special Forces military officer to being framed in a drug sting, falsely accused, and sentenced to jail for sixteen years, all because he claimed Jesus as his Savior.
3) Here in North America, we don't give Bibles and Christian books much thought. Not so in Turkey. Discover the plight of three Zirve publishing company staff members, who, as they sat down for a Bible study, paid the ultimate price for their faith in Jesus.
Better Than Life is packed with 30 stories like these, testimonies that will move you, encourage you, and help you discover a deeper dimension to your own faith, the potency of a life surrendered to God, and the need to pray for those who begin and end each day in unspeakable danger.
Better Than Life: Today's Stories of Faith at Any Cost was inspired by a music project of the same name, with 10 songs celebrating today's stories of faith.
A portion of every purchase of Better Than Life is donated to international missions to keep the timeless truths of God's Word moving out into the world.
Want to help? Pray for those whose lives are at risk because of Jesus, that they can endure and continue to be witnesses of the love of God to a broken and dying world.
