It is not always easy to follow Christ. The cost of discipleship can be very high, especially in some parts of the world.
Recently, a court in Saudi Arabia sentenced a Lebanese Christian to a six-year prison sentence and 600 lashes for converting a female co-worker, who later fled to Sweden.
The court sentenced a Saudi man, who was also involved in the lady’s conversion, to two years in prison and 200 lashes.
The men obviously gave the woman some Christian books to read.
