Summary

Martin Sedra grew up in Egypt as the son of a Christian pastor, where preaching had to be hidden and converting from Islam could mean death. He saw God’s protection firsthand when his brothers narrowly escaped terrorists enraged by his father’s ministry. Now, Martin and his wife Millicent travel the world warning that Islam’s core beliefs, though distinct from peaceful Muslims, are incompatible with Christianity and Western freedoms. In this powerful conversation, they reveal what is coming, how to stand firm in the face of growing anti-Christian hostility, and why an unapologetic pro-life stance is essential.
