Hearts of Fire

the long version

Tara's father's parting words brought only one thought to the mind of the sixteen-year-old girl - she must escape for her life. Beaten to the brink of death, Tara - the daughter of a prominent Pakistani Muslim - was locked in her room as a prisoner without food or medical attention. All because she was caught with a Bible. Tara's story is not unique among these eight courageous women in Hearts of Fire. From the young Vietnamese girl who turns down freedom in order to evangelize the people of her Communist homeland, to the Australian missionary who spreads the message of forgiveness and healing across India after her husband and sons are burned alive by village zealots, these women have overcome extreme adversity to emerge as leaders and ministers in the global body of Christ. The Voice of the Martyrs, coauthor of the bestsellers Jesus Freaks and Extreme Devotion, brings you the true stories of courageous Christian women, heroines of the faith who are representatives of countless women facing similar situations around the world. Thee role models of faith and passion will inspire you to pursue Christ with heart aflame.
