We Died Before We Came Here

A True Story of Sacrifice and Hope

By: Emily Foreman

Narrated by: Pamela Klein

"In this life, I have lost. I lost my husband and best friend. My children lost their father. But Stephen didn't lose his life. He found it." Early one morning, just down the street from the local mosque, gunshots shattered the silence. A young American lay in a pool of blood, murdered by al-Qaeda extremists.

When God called Emily and Stephen Foreman to bring the gospel to a Muslim nation where Christianity was illegal, they knew they were being called to a life of sacrifice. "We died before we came here" was their common refrain.

Emily, left with four children and an undying calling to reach the Muslim world, recounts in this memoir the powerful story of God's work through a life poured out for Christ. Stephen Foreman's death was not the beginning, nor was it the end. And he did not die in vain. This promise echoes through the book's minutes and far beyond, in the hearts and lives of countless individuals touched by a man who lived his life as though it wasn't his own.

God is so good. He pursues endlessly

God uses what the devil intended for evil and uses it His glory. As the author says "Are you glorified, God"

Well done...

Emily presents her life and that of Stephen's in a very open and honest way. It's wonderful to see that God uses flawed people to do great things in this world. This book encourages us to live life to the full and with a heart of love for all people.

God is love.

To God be the glory! I am so blessed and challenged to have read the story of this beautiful family and their love and mission for the Muslims of North Africa. Be blessed.

Triggering, but that's not a bad thing here...

This story challenges you to be and do more for God, to love more... It's a reminder that bring like Christ (Christian) is more than the words we speak, it's the life we live... So yeah, triggering, but I'm so glad I read this book!

Life changing

This book is absolutely amazing! I’m amazed at the bravery the author had in writing!
