Finding Jesus in Iran
How does a girl born into a militantly Muslim nation like Iran—find Christ as Savior? How is she then perceived by her family—her culture? And how do you get discipled in a land where owning or distributing Bibles is illegal? Join us for a truly epic story this week on The Land and the Book. Plus, host Charlie Dyer answers your Bible questions—and shares a devotional. All on The Land and the Book.
