The Truth Is Just One Color

Book excerpt: The book is based on a true story of a young Iranian who hears a sentence from a Christian satellite television and then decides to investigate Christianity, which is contrary to the custom of his country’s society and traditions. This story clearly illustrates the difficult situation of Iranian Christians or religious minorities as well as a picture of the contemporary Iranian culture and the difference between the official Iranian society and the informal or underground Iranian world. This novel also explains in detail why this young man is interested in Christianity, how he believes in Christ even after encounters with internal and external challenges, and how he overcomes these spells. The primary purpose of writing this story is to think about faith in Christianity, to motivate and hope for the rest of the world, and to become familiar with the difficulties of living as a believer in an Islamic country.
