Iran: Open Hearts in a Closed Land

by Mark Bradley

From the publisher:
Explains why in recent years more Iranians have turned to Christ than since the coming of Islam despite the hostility of the government.

This accessible book looks at why Iranian Muslims have been turning to Christ more than the other Muslim groups.

Mark Bradley first sets out clearly why Iran is such a closed land to the Gospel and why one would expect the number converting to decline. The opposite has happened, and in the second half of the book the author examines why ordinary Iranians are so open to Jesus.

It explains how the 1979 revolution brought war, economic chaos, and totalitarianism. This has made Iranians deeply disillusioned and led them to question the religion used to justify the government's policies.
