From Mecca to Christ
How would you respond if you were arrested by the religious police? They drag you away, beat you bloody—and knock out 13 of your teeth? It happened to our guest. And that was just the beginning of his torture. Why was he so hated? And how did he endure? We’ll ask those questions and more this week on The Land and the Book. Then, we’ll enjoy an all-new set of Bible questions and answers—and more—on The Land and the Book.
