Hi, this is Todd Nettleton, the host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio.

Thank you for being a VOM Radio listener.

Today is a huge day for me, and if you listen to our most recent episode of VOM Radio,

you already know why.

Today is release day for my new book, When Faith Is Forbidden, 40 Days on the Frontlines

with Persecuted Christians.

After literally years of writing, more than a year of editing and design and other work,

today is the day when readers all over the country and hopefully the world will have a copy

of the book in their hands.

They will begin to read and be inspired by the stories of some of the amazing heroic

Christians that I have had the privilege of meeting over the past 23 years.

To celebrate the new book and to thank our podcast listeners, we thought we'd share

the first two chapters of the audiobook with our VOM Radio podcast family.

The audiobook will be available soon from your favorite audiobook outlet.

You can learn more and there are links to order your copy at www.WhenFaithIsForbidden.com.

On the website, www.WhenFaithIsForbidden.com.
