Hello there. This is Mark Bauerline with another conversation. Before we get to it, a word about one of our sponsors.

Located in the foothills of Wyoming's spectacular wind river range, Wyoming Catholic College,

an accredited four-year Great Books

Institution is built on the ancient Western tradition of the liberal arts and the freedom

of the American West. The college offers its students an immersion in the primary sources of the

classical tradition, the grandeur of the mountain wilderness, and the spiritual heritage of the Catholic Church.

Students experience the illumination of imagination and intellect through the great books

and traditional disciplines, literature and philosophy, mathematics and theology, science and Latin,

and an outdoor program second to none.

The college celebrated an in-person graduation with its seniors last year and welcomed its largest freshman class ever this year.

We have with us today, Casey Chalk, one of our recent contributors in the magazine.

He is an editor writer at the New Oxford Review and at the Federalist.

And he has a new book that will certainly interest our listeners.

It's called The Persecuted True Stories of Courageous Christians Living Their Faith

in Muslim Lands.

Welcome, Casey.

Thank you for joining us. Thank you so much for having me on the program, Mark.

You begin with the story.

And the strength of this book really is the actual stories of real people in real situations

and the fact that you were there.
