Things stay quiet in my little section of Montana, mostly just political arguments that don't mean much. I am sure there is both persecution of religion and minorities but I really haven't seen much of it.<br /><br />Jasmine A.<br />Jasmine A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01541779625996757030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-25020049441478725672013-04-27T13:06:26.111-04:002013-04-27T13:06:26.111-04:00Ooh, now I must know how the book ends!

Sure there are the "haters" here as in any part of the world. I do see way more of minority persecution around these parts. <br />Susan<br />farmygirl at hotmail dot comSusan Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885508869904521374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-12978078374979107002013-04-27T03:12:08.185-04:002013-04-27T03:12:08.185-04:00The answer is really quite simple DOTTI...

You can't! ;) But I can promise you one thing, you will thoroughly enjoy it and be very glad you read it! :)<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing your experience Dotti... it's certainly not a pleasant 'taste' to experience such bitterness... even though we are to 'rejoice' because Christ suffered the same rejection and worse. I do feel sorry for this woman though and hope she has since found the Lord! <br /><br />Blessings on your weekend too Dotti! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368483978360906629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-72074882088352742592013-04-27T01:59:13.473-04:002013-04-27T01:59:13.473-04:00Great review, Noela.

How can I not read Christine's book after such a glowing response? ;)<br /><br />I remember sharing printed invitations to a special church service at a market one Saturday morning. I would have been about 18, and a lady shopper didn't like it that someone younger offered her something 'religious.' She asked me what I could possible know more than a woman of her age. She was nasty and moved off once she'd sent her insults my way. This is the closest I've come to being scorned for sharing my faith. By no means persecution. But I did taste the hatred of someone who despised me and what I stood for. Humbling and eye opening. <br /><br />Blessings for a wonderful weekend, <br />Dotti :)Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622521834128746217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-36220269429541924562013-04-26T20:49:00.989-04:002013-04-26T20:49:00.989-04:00Amanda, really great that you dropped by today.

I believe there are all levels and types of persecution, but I think we all know there are those that are so horrifically persecuted and so it's not easy to call any opposition we face as persecution.

We lived in a very small neighborhood and the houses were close together so when my mom would pray everyone could hear her. I suppose those kids didn't like it. I so wish they could had listened to God's calling instead of acting like that, but they didn't have parents that cared about them to show them the way. Three out of the four died horrible deaths before they were out of their teens. So sad!<br />Teresa Mathewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16979337973257260777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-48490601097608111192013-04-26T11:38:24.661-04:002013-04-26T11:38:24.661-04:00I have never been persecuted for my faith.

I think that those of us who live in America forget just how blessed we are sometimes. People may not like Christians, but we do not really have to worry about being killed or thrown in jail for our Christian beliefs. Who knows how long that will go on for though…<br /><br />Thanks for offering this giveaway!<br />emmamalissa(at)gmail(dot)comEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515104111477270338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-23638057126746418092013-04-26T11:36:08.271-04:002013-04-26T11:36:08.271-04:00I'm off to work again today, and cannot be aro...I'm off to work again today, and cannot be around to respond to this fantastic conversation.

I imagine you saw quite a bit of persecution around that time. Do you remember having a similar sense of how wrong it was the way they were treated as you do now? How true it is in regards to the persecution of Christians and Christianity these days. Quite often it's in a silent and sly form but just as controlling.<br />Thanks for dropping in MAXIE, I hope you enjoyed reading about Christine's book.

I tho't that was bad. Right now. i feel that christians are being persecuted, when we are having more and more of not being able to talk about GOD in some public places including schools and chaplains are being told they can't pray with our servicemen and women. And, lots of the crosses are being taken down from places they have been for years, just because a few don't like it. But think it will get worse. Also, when i was in school blacks were not allowed at the same schools. Was glad when these things changed for them.
