Captive in Iran

Converts. Prisoners. Evangelists. The incredible true story of two women who used their brutal imprisonment to spread the gospel.Maryam Rostampour and Marziyeh Amirizadeh knew they were putting their lives on the line. Islamic laws in Iran forbade them from sharing their Christian beliefs, but in three years, they’d covertly put New Testaments into the hands of twenty thousand of their countrymen and started two secret house churches.In 2009, they were finally arrested and held in the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran, a place where inmates are routinely tortured and executions are commonplace. In the face of ruthless interrogations, persecution, and a death sentence, Maryam and Marziyeh chose to take the radical―and dangerous―step of sharing their faith inside the very walls of the government stronghold that was meant to silence them.Unflinching and powerful, this memoir will inspire you as it captures:God’s miraculous provision amid pain and persecutionThe bravery and conviction of Maryam and Marziyeh as they struggled to not just survive but also flourishThe desperate need for the modern church to embrace bold faith and cling to discipleship no matter the costIn Captive in Iran, two courageous Iranian women recount how God used their 259 days in Evin Prison to shine His light into one of the world’s darkest places, giving hope to those who had lost everything and showing love to those in despair.
