Dennis: Murdered For Sharing Bibles

As I read the reports of the four American citizens who were brutally shot and killed yesterday by Somali pirates, I had to stop and ask the question of myself in the title, above. What would I give my life for? These Christians gave their lives for the distribution of Bibles in war ravaged lands. For Bibles ... Like the Bible that's sitting on my shelf...or your shelf? Often unused. More than a book, the Bible represents freedom. And to the four people who were killed by pirates, it represents eternal freedom/Dennis Mansfield. More here.

Question: Is there something that you would give your life for?
