Suspense novelist Robin Parrish is writing a novelization for the upcoming film, Persecuted, to be released alongside the movie in Spring 2014. Persecuted: I Will Not Be Silent (Bethany House/Baker Publishing Group) is based on the upcoming political thriller starring James Remar, Bruce Davison, Dean Stockwell and Fred Thompson, and explores the topics of government scandal, corruption and religious persecution.

Persecuted is the story of a modern-day evangelist named John Luther—the last holdout for a national endorsement to make sweeping reform in freedom of speech. As the government is mandating political correctness while covertly waging a war against religious organizations, a U.S. senator and his political allies create a sinister plan of denial and scandal to frame John Luther for murder. Luther’s quest to clear his name brings him face-to-face with the coming storm of persecution that will threaten the moral ethics and freedoms of America.

“I hope people come away from reading the book or watching the movie asking the question: what would you do if you faced persecution for your beliefs?” said Daniel Lusko, the film’s writer, director, and producer. “We're living in a generation that has been raised to believe there’s no such thing as truth, and a world that is tired of the games the church has been playing for its own agenda.”

“I hope to wake-up a world that takes freedom and truth for granted,” Lusko added. “I hope this book and movie shake people up.”
