\u201cWhat makes\u00a0<\/span><\/span>These are the Generations<\/span><\/span>\u00a0unique isn\u2019t\u00a0<\/span><\/span>just\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that it was\u00a0<\/span><\/span>co-<\/span><\/span>written\u00a0<\/span><\/span>by<\/span><\/span>\u00a0North Korean\u00a0<\/span><\/span>underground\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Christian<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span>\u00a0along with Voice of the Martyrs Korea<\/span><\/span>,\u201d representative Hyun Sook Foley says. \u201c<\/span><\/span>What is most\u00a0<\/span><\/span>unique<\/span><\/span>\u00a0is that i<\/span><\/span>t focuses on the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0day-by-day, year-by-year<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>faithfulness\u00a0<\/span><\/span>of an underground\u00a0<\/span><\/span>North Korean\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Christian family,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0in carrying on the fundamentals of Christian life\u2014prayer, evangelism, discipleship, worship, and mission<\/span><\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Representative Foley\u00a0<\/span><\/span>says\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that many books about North Korea focus on\u00a0<\/span><\/span>political and human rights issues<\/span><\/span>, and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that when Christianity is written about, it appears only in miraculous forms<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>These are the Generations<\/span><\/span>, however,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>seeks\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to highlight\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>ordinary goodness of God\u00a0<\/span><\/span>in even the places that are most hostile to Christianity<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0She believes\u00a0<\/span><\/span>this is why<\/span><\/span>\u00a0the book is popular around the world, having been printed in Dutch, Finnish, Italian, Czech, and soon Chinese and Spanish, since its initial publication in Korean and English in 2012.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Foley says that though seven years have passed since the book was first published, its contents remain as\u00a0<\/span><\/span>current<\/span><\/span>\u00a0as\u00a0<\/span><\/span>when the book was first written<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPart of the message of\u00a0<\/span><\/span>These are the Generations\u00a0<\/span><\/span>is that while God sometimes uses new technology to spread Christianity, he doesn\u2019t depend upon it. Instead, he depends on centuries-old practices\u00a0<\/span><\/span>carried out by\u00a0<\/span><\/span>steadfast hearts. That\u2019s why Christians from all over the world love the book\u2014they can\u00a0<\/span><\/span>learn from it and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>apply it<\/span><\/span>s lessons to their own lives.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
