DEFYING ISIS by Johnnie Moore Releases as an eBook, 3/13

"Johnnie Moore has courageously focused on one of the most alarming and heart rending crises of our time... every American should read this and demand our government stand up against barbarism." - Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the House and Presidential candidate

Seemingly every day the world is stunned by the latest story of unspeakable terror at the hands of ISIS, each more savage than the last. The global community is constantly in a state of shock and sadness thanks to the Islamic extremist group's uncanny use of social media to instantly distribute its atrocities and slickly produced hate propaganda online. America is bombarded day after day with images of aid workers and innocent journalists beheaded on camera, scores of innocent Christian civilians kidnapped and brutally killed, women and children sold into slavery, and perhaps scariest of all, homegrown ISIS sympathizers scattered across North America and Europe committing random acts of deadly violence with no advance warning.

DEFYING ISIS is the exhaustively researched account of the terrifying modern day Christian genocide currently unfolding in the Middle East written firsthand by author and humanitarian Johnnie Moore's. In DEFYING ISIS, Moore states that ISIS plans to kill every Christian in its path, including in the United States. "Entire Christian populations have already been eliminated near the birthplace of Christianity itself," says Moore, "and the ultimate and very publicly stated aim of ISIS and the Islamic State is to eradicate the world of Christianity and any other religion different than their own." Moore also believes that they are well on their way as thousands of Christians facing religious persecution arrive in refugee camps every day, where tents can be seen for miles across Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq. And according to Moore, the refugees are the lucky ones.

DEFYING ISIS, officially released for eReader devices this Friday, March 13th, goes beyond the media reports and sound bytes to give readers detailed accounts of the stories that haven't been widely reported; dozens of historic churches that have been demolished, crosses burned and replaced with ISIS flags, homes and families destroyed, entire communities displaced, religious conversions forced, human torture and sex slavery enacted, children slaughtered - all in plain sight - and all a precursor of what Moore believes we can expect in America and her allies if ISIS gets its way.

With never before told stories of horror, and ultimately of hope, Johnnie Moore unveils the threat of ISIS against worldwide Christianity, and what the world must do about it before it's too late. Along the way in DEFYING ISIS, he introduces readers to the inspiring stories of courageous Christians and others who have stared down ISIS and lived to raise their crosses higher.
