Product Description This faith-and-freedom classic， written by John Whitehead， helped inspire untold numbers of individuals to dedicate their lives to fighting for religious freedom. As theologian Dr. Francis Schaeffer said: “If there is still an entity known as ‘the Christian church’ by the end of this century， operating with any semblance of liberty within our society here in the United States， it will probably have John Whitehead and his book to thank.” --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
