Books with author Erin Foley

These Are The Generations chronicles the story of the Baes, a North Korean family that struggled to receive and pass on the gospel from generation to generation, through labor camps, prisons, interrogations, and the greatest challenge of all—everyday life in North Korea. Their story is told by Reverend Eric Foley, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Seoul USA, a ministry serving to bridge the Western church with Christians in Asia. Mr. Bae—a former prisoner for his faith in the North Korean gulag— says Christian inmates are forced to endure many hardships, inhumane treatment, and horrid conditions in prison. However, he told Foley not to feel sorry for them because, “Prison is the best seminary training a Christian can get.”

The Korean - English bilingual edition of Rev. Dr. Eric Foley's Planting the Underground Church. For churches in Korea and the free world, there have been many advantages to growing as large, as centralized, and as professionalized as possible. This model has powered the growth of the church for decades. But life is changing quickly for Christians in Korea and the free world. Governments are increasingly restricting the church’s message. The general public is increasingly portraying the church as a dangerous oppressor that spreads hate and curtails freedom. The world is seeking to persuade Christians to revise the church’s basic beliefs. Churches who resist face ridicule, restriction, punishment, and exclusion. Large, centralized, and professionalized churches were well suited to prosper in the prior age, but they are poorly suited to survive the present one. The purpose of this book is to help pastors, church leaders, and ordinary Christians plant underground churches and transition existing churches underground. The book consists of twelve principles that have enabled underground Christians for centuries to advance the faith in the midst of serious opposition. Action steps for church planters and existing church leaders follow each principle.
