"Persecuted" Book Review and Give Away
If only life were like the movies. "Persecuted" by Robin Parrish, based on a Daniel Lusko film, is reminiscent of the movie "Fugitive" starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones but with a Christian twist. Good guy framed by power hungry 'friend' who then manages to prove his innocence and take down the real bad guy. Unfortunately for persecuted Christians all over the world, life is anything but a fairy tale.
Don't get me wrong, "Persecuted" was a page turner and well written. I highly recommend it. My one pause would come as a warning that the main character - a preacher - is drugged and photographed in compromising photos with a teen prostitute. It isn't graphically written (thankfully) but it still was uncomfortable to read. There is also a fair enough amount of violence written into it to require a brief FYI bulletin. Truthfully though, "Persecuted" is a nice change of pace from all the Rambo style heroes.
