As I had mentioned on Thursday, I was reading “Red Ink” by Kathy Macias. This was the first book I ever read by Kathi; I know it will not be the last. I will have to check out the rest of her books, and most certainly her “Extreme Devotion Series”.
The book “Red Ink” captured me from the first page to the last. I could not turn the pages fast enough 😆 .
Christians in China always have captured my interest, because they are truly devoted to their faith. I think that we often take for granted that we are able to worship freely in this country (or my home country for that fact). After turning the last page of Kathi’s book “Red Ink”, I wondered once again: “Will I stand faithfully if I were to be persecuted for my beliefs?”. I pray I do!
One other thing I was reminded of while reading the book: pray for the ones God puts on your heart. No matter if it is someone from your immediate family, your friends, or someone you have never met. God has His reasons why He puts names or nations on your heart to pray for. May I not disregard His prompting for prayers.
My friend Lori has a more comprehensive review on Kathi’s book. You can also win a copy by leaving a comment on Lori’s review blog.
I hope that you will have the chance to read “Red Ink”. The book once again reminded me to not take my freedom for granted.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a blessed Sunday!
Thanks so much for the kind words about Red Ink. I’d be happy to offer a copy to one of your readers if you’re interested. Blessings to you all!
Sounds like a great read.
I have not heard of this book but it sounds very interesting. I will have to check out Kathi’s blog.
Sounds like an interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

Hope you have a great week!

Hi Iris,
I’ve never particularly had any affinity for the sufferings of our brothers and sisters overseas because I always figured that enough people were targeting those areas. My “missions or ministry efforts have always been targeted towards those around me here in the USA.
That was, until I read Red Ink. I too couldn’t put it down and it hit me as a call to galvanize Christians everywhere to pray, intercede for others no matter how far away they are and to appreciate our freedom to worship and realize it as the gift that it is.
That being said, I volunteered to coordinate a small blog book tour to introduce readers to Red Ink and Kathi’s line of extreme devotion fiction series.
My feeling is that if we can get this book into the hands of as many people as possible, many lives will be changed.
Till I hear from you,
Dee
