Open Doors<\/span><\/a>\u00a0has released a new tool for families and churches that helps children understand religious persecution in an age-appropriate way. The children\u2019s story book and animated video Herod\u2019s Secret Policeman<\/em><\/a><\/span> tells the fictional tale of Secret Policeman Number 3 (and his toy sheep, Nellie), of the people he met on the journey, and the way in which the encounter with Jesus, Mary, and Joseph changed him forever.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an imaginative take on this familiar story so central to our faith. But more than that, Herod\u2019s Secret Policeman will introduce children \u2014 in a very gentle way \u2014 to the pressures faced by believers around the world, many of whom live under surveillance, or are at risk because of their faith,\u201d said Open Doors US CEO Ryan Brown. \u201cIt helps children understand that some Christians today might even have to flee for their lives, just as Mary, Joseph, and Jesus did.\u201d<\/p>\n The book and video are available for download at opendoorsus.ubpages.com\/herods-place\/<\/a><\/span>.
