Imagine the scenario . . .

The world has been through the war to end all wars, or rather a whole series of conflicts: Muslim fundamentalists against Israel and the West, tensions in the Balkans between Orthodox Christians, Catholics and Muslims, Hindus and Muslims fighting in Kashmir, and more. The devastation is total and finally persuades the world powers to end all wars. But how? Abolishing religion seems the only way to wipe out bigotry and intolerance and bring about peace.

A tempting proposition perhaps, and one which appeals to increasing numbers of secularists. Many people of faith in Western countries fear that this agenda is already taking hold. Persecution may not be the word, but as the furore over Muslim girls wearing the headscarf in France shows, many would like religion to become a purely private matter. Is the world where people of faith can be persecuted, not just in dictatorships, but in the West, such a distant prospect? Should those of us who believe in free speech stand up for religious freedom before it is too late.

Jerry B. Jenkins' series of thrillers, Soon, explores a nightmarish world where religion has been pushed underground. Christians struggle to make contact with each other and to practice their faith in the face of brutal persecution. For Jerry Jenkins, the secularist have forgotten two vital factors, the lengths true believers will go to protect their faith, and the power of God Himself at work in the world.
