"I have felt an urgent need to write this book, as I find it concerning that the people who historically have had spirit, courage, and even knew how to sacrifice themselves for the evangelization of the world have lost their bravery and zeal. ...As I write this, there are news reports on the Internet of fourteen Christians killed in a riot because another religion believes its sacred book had been desecrated. What would happen if in your city another religion claimed that the public declaration that the Bible is God's only infallible guide is a desecration?" John Piper.
