Mariam’s story had a happy ending–she now lives in the US and wants to work for others facing religious persecution.

Thanks for your kind words about my books. I wish you the best of luck with your novel.

We need to join in prayer, universally, for this young mother, one strong in faith. She is an inspiration to us all.
God receives glory from the testimony of her life. He may be calling her home to serve Him in heaven, however, God is merciful and He also feels her human plight. He became the Son of Man and as Jesus experienced such rejection, persecution, punishment, and execution.
He paid the price for the sins of humanity.
I pray that the One who conquered death for all will intercede on her behalf.
I wonder what is happening to her today.
She is living eternally already. She has a joy and peace beyond our comprehension. She is abiding with Him.
Praise God for His victory!
Mitch: I have recently found your novels and am inspired with your writing. A journalist of 44 years, I am now writing fiction with a message of truth. My latest book is, “The Zombie Report.”
Thank you for being the role model you have become to me.
Blessings,
Alan Updyke
