Safely Home
The book "Safely Home" by Randy Alcorn tells the story of two very different men. One lives a life of God and persecution in China, while the other lives an empty life in corporate America. The book tells of their reuniting after 20 years, and its effect on both men.
"In three minutes,' Scarbrow said matter-of-factly, 'we will shoot every man and woman -- and child -- who does not declare himself loyal to the people rather than the gweilos, foreign devils'" (Alcorn 27). This is an extremely important passage in the book, as it indicates the depth of Christian persecution in China, and what believers face in the country. They literally face death for their beliefs. We take religious freedom for granted in this country, and often do not recognize what believers face in other countries, so this is important to bring this practice to light so that people can fight it and fight for religious freedom around the world. It is difficult to believe that practices like this still exist, and this passage is important to make more people aware of that fact.
"Do you not know Chinese history? The church in China goes back at least thirteen hundred years. We had Christian monasteries in the eighth century. Beijing had a bishop eight hundred years ago'" (Alcorn 87). This is an important passage because it shows how ignorant Americans are about other cultures and their beliefs. People assume that the Chinese are not Christian, and they do not bother to learn the truth. The truth is that the government has made the Chinese people anti-Christian, and has banned any faith but in that of the government. It is a tyrannical rule that is frightening and extremely controlling, and this passage indicates just how fearful the government is of anything that might influence or control the people other than themselves. It is a fearful passage to read.

Adults Moving Home Although the practice is not new, it is becoming a common trend in twenty-first century America for adults to return home after college or even later in life to live with their parents.
