IDC Applauds the Release of Coptic Rights Activist Ramy Kamel from Egyptian Prison


In Defense of Christians (IDC), the nation’s leading advocacy organization for Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East and Africa, applauds the release of Coptic rights and religious freedom activist Ramy Kamel from Egyptian prison.

Mr. Kamel was taken into custody in November 2019 by Egyptian authorities, just one day prior to traveling to Geneva to speak before the UN Human Rights Council about abuses endured by Egypt’s Coptic Christian community. For over two years, Mr. Kamel was held in Egyptian prison, without trial.

IDC has advocated in the U.S. Congress and U.S. State Department for the application of pressure on the Egyptian government for Mr. Kamel’s release. IDC has worked closely with Senate Human Rights Caucus co-chairs Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Senator Chris Coons (D-DE), who sent a letter to the Egyptian government in October 2020 urging for Ramy Kamel’s release. 

The Senators urged the Egyptian government to “honor Mr. Kamel’s right to a fair trial or to release him entirely of the charges held against him.” The Senators further expressed their “fear [that] his detention is a result of [his] activism.” 

“We applaud the Egyptian government for the release for Ramy Kamel,” said IDC Executive Director Richard Ghazal. “While the Egyptian government of President Sisi, in recent years, has demonstrated incremental progress through constitutional reforms, there is still much more work to be done to afford Coptic Christians equal citizenship in their native homeland,” Ghazal continued.

Gwendolyn Jones’s newly released “God Is Love, Let Love Lead” is a powerful exploration of God’s love and hope for mankind


News Image

“God Is Love, Let Love Lead”: a potent reminder of the importance of valuing and honoring love. “God Is Love, Let Love Lead” is the creation of published author Gwendolyn Jones, a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who retired from a career with state and city governments. Jones holds a BS in religion and a MA in Human Services, Family/Youth Counseling.

Jones shares, “God is Love… ‘Let Love Lead’ is thought-provoking, spiritually enlightening and hopefully encouraging. While written during a time of political chaos and civil unrest, the title could have easily been no love, no justice, no peace. If the opposite of love is hate, then the absence of God can produce the same. In summary, the book embraces the all-encompassing meaning of the phrase ‘God is love.’ God Is Love will never be just another feel-good slogan despite how hearing it makes us feel good. The pages contained within demonstrate how God’s love must be applied to every area of our lives, especially marriage and family, which is the foundation of our existence. God’s love must be extended to our neighbor, coworker, customer, and enemy, which produces the basic concept of who God is. Mark 12:30–31 tells us to ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength, love your neighbor as yourself. There are no commandments greater than these’ (NIV). When we allow God to lead, his love is manifested in everything we do, every conversation, every action, and every reaction. God’s love is never based on skin color, material possessions, money, educational status, job title, physical features, fraternity or sorority, political or professional affiliation, or talent. Hate is so prevalent in the world today; only love (God) can conquer hate.

“A revelation of who God is and who he created humanity to be versus what it has become is crystal clear from the cover to the last chapter. Every human being is born with the capacity to both experience and extend love, but sympathy, concern, hunger for life, lusting, wanting, and needing are emotions that have always been confused with real love, which must begin with God. The ability to love like God loves comes when a spiritual relationship is established with the creator. God’s love is the picture of a Shepherd’s love; it commits, provides for, takes care of, communicates to listen, seeks to understand, and never ends. The Bible assures us that ‘God’s love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things’ (1 Corinthians 13:7 KJV). ‘Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this, the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him’ (1 John 4:7–9 ESV). God is love… Let Love Lead.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Gwendolyn Jones’s new book is a thought-provoking discussion with spiritual impact.

Jones provides an encouraging message to stimulate readers’ sense of faith in hopes of bringing them closer to God.

Consumers can purchase “God Is Love, Let Love Lead” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

The Royal Narrative” is an engaging exploration of traditional culture and Christianity


News Image

“The Gospel and Tradition: The Royal Narrative”: a potent examination of religion and modern culture. “The Gospel and Tradition: The Royal Narrative” is the creation of published author NENE SAKITE II, the current king of Kroboland, Ghana, who attended college in the United States of America and obtained a BA degree in Economics and MA in International Economic Development from Clark University and MBA in financial management.

SAKITE II shares, “This book is deeply rooted in the African cultural realism in which the concept of Mawu or God existed before the arrival of the missionaries from Europe. Krobo culture has always accepted and expressed the presence of the Supreme Creator in all (without exception) aspects of social, occupational, emotional engagements of life. Throughout the book, there are illustrations depicting the essence of God in Krobo traditional religion before the arrival of Christian missionaries from Europe. The only new concept my ancestors acquired from the missionaries was the story of the life and teaching of Christ and the doctrine as the Savior and Mawu (second person in the Trinity) at the same time. Krobo culture eloquently and sincerely found expression in names like Mawulede (God’s wish); Mawulepee (God did it); Mawu le ha nor (it is God who provides); and in sentences expressing hope, as in Mawu nge (God lives), Mawumaalewor (God would care for us), and others all of which existed before the story of the cross.

“The book is the manifestation of what is happening today with the gospel and tradition on the continent with the self-acclaimed preachers of the gospel and how they have misrepresented the whole doctrine of Christianity to acquire wealth rather than preaching salvation to the people of Africa. These ‘preachers’ I refer to as false prophets and mostly blasphemers who have taken undue advantage of the ignorance of the people of Africa wisely because religion is part and parcel of life in the African society.

“This book goes at length to delineate Christian influence on the cultural values in Africa using the Krobo experience and to display cultural traits and interaction with the missionaries. It will also go into Christian tradition and the African tradition, which apparently would lead us into the training of the clergy and show why Christianity is being represented deceptively by ‘false prophets’ in Africa and sometimes at the expense of our tradition.

“There will be a discussion on Krobo culture and the gospel as well as cultural norms that affect Christians the most. A full discussion depicts the world of blasphemy which preachers and people call it Christianity but which I term ‘victims of Christianity.’

“It is very important to admire our traditional saints and show the similarities with the religious saints. And who are the traditional saints anyhow?

“In the end, I conclude with a discussion on poverty, spelling out the tradition that must be reformed to diminish poverty which is portrayed in the book as the enemy of culture and development.

“This book is relevant for contemporary religious and cultural appreciation, what it is to be Christian and African no less than the proper training of the clergy that befits the African society before they are ‘shipped’ to Africa or any other developing country with different cultural orientation for adaptation.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, NENE SAKITE II’s new book seeks to offer a clear understanding of the functionality of Christianity within African society.

SAKITE II shares in hopes of bringing awareness to the cultural sensitivities that must be understood in order to aid believers in their pursuit of Christ.

Consumers can purchase “The Gospel and Tradition: The Royal Narrative” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

C. J. Rysen and Dan Manternach’s newly released “Convinced? Decisive Answers to the 21 Most Challenging Questions” is an engaging resource for Christians seeking clarity


News Image

“Convinced? Decisive Answers to the 21 Most Challenging Questions”: is a compelling resource for anyone seeking evidence and support for the Bible’s historical and scientific accuracy as well as its eternal authority as inspired Word of God.

“Convinced? Decisive Answers to the 21 Most Challenging Questions” is the creation of published authors C. J. Rysen and Dan Manternach who describe the complete essence of this book as “The Cosmic Harmony of Science, Scripture, and Reason”. Among other common challenges, they effectively answer questions such as:

Can it be indubitably proven that God absolutely exists? Can it really be shown how science confirms creation by God? Given that some say not even God can create something out of nothing, exactly how did God create everything in the universe? Just how can the Holy Bible be reliable and the divine Word of God when it is challenged with so much controversy? Can it be irrefutably verified that Jesus was for real, really rose from the dead, and is the Son of God? Did the Great Flood of Noah and his Ark really happen? How?

Everybody wants to see proof. Atheists and skeptics often demand it.

A total of twenty-one of the most often asked and difficult questions challenging Christianity is answered by coauthors C. J. Rysen, (author of the Christian apocalyptic thriller, a novel, In the Course of Three Hours (http://www.inthecourseofthreehours.com)), and Dan Manternach, a public speaker and leader in the Christian Group, Ministry to Men (http://www.ministrytomen.net).

Both men have collaborated to provide irrefutable answers and explanations in a simple, easy-to-understand, straightforward way, providing new, unexpected, and intriguing perspectives to which you likely may have never given any thought. Many of these will be surprising and often startling to anyone—whether skeptic, agnostic, or atheist. The book is also intended to be a reference source for the layperson, as well as those with formal theological or philosophical education.

Although this book is intended to address these questions for the benefit of the ‘nonbeliever’, it also is intended to prepare the believer to help answer such questions and to solidify their own faith. If one is intellectually honest with oneself, the explanations in this book should be overwhelmingly compelling and convincing. If they are not, one must ask the question, ‘Why’?”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, C. J. Rysen and Dan Manternach’s new book is a thought-provoking opportunity for reflection and spiritual growth and effective Christian witness to others.

With a balance of reflective discussion and relevant scripture, readers from any walk of life will discover an articulate discourse.

Consumers can purchase “Convinced? Decisive Answers to the 21 Most Challenging Questions” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

God Is Our Only Refuge” is an impactful work that shares the author’s inspiring journey to faith


News Image

Denis Ivic has completed his new book “From Darkness to Light: God Is Our Only Refuge”: a gripping and potent work that shares the author’s story, from his tumultuous childhood dealing with abuse from his father to his struggles with alcoholism in his young adulthood, to his acceptance of God as his personal savior and the blessings that followed that acceptance.

Author Denis Ivic describes the purpose behind his work, writing, “This book is intended to be an encouragement to all readers that no matter how difficult life is, we can always trust the Lord and know that He will be there for us and help us through tough times. As you read my story, you will see that I had a very difficult childhood with abuse and a self-destructing young adulthood with alcoholism and constant fighting. However, with God’s help I was able to run away from darkness and find shelter in His mercy. Throughout my life I have had a lot of fear, sadness, and depression because of my father’s abuse, but God was always there with me. Although during my childhood I did not believe in God, now I know that He protected me all the time. I could have died many times due to the abuse, but I am still alive. When I learned about God and accepted Him as my personal Savior, my life took a 180 degree turn for the better. From a drunkard and a street fighter I became a sincere Christian who loves everybody. God also blessed me with a wonderful wife, and I am so thankful for that. I cannot praise the Lord enough for all the things that He has done for me. With the Lord’s help I was able to overcome the difficulties. I did it and you can do it, too! Just believe in Jesus as your personal Savior, and you will see the positive changes in your life.”

Published by Page Publishing, Denis Ivic’s meaningful story inspires readers to turn to God to seek guidance through difficult times and trust that He will provide protection and blessings.
