ABOUT THE BOOK
Daniel Betsuamlak, the son of a renowned Ethiopian pastor, is anointed to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ from birth. But as God’s call on his life grows stronger, Satan relentlessly targets Daniel in a series of merciless attempts to end his life before his ministry can begin.
From a difficult birth to two near-fatal car accidents, resulting epilepsy, heavy medication dependency, and crippling, demonic depression, the enemy pulls out all the stops to destroy him. In this powerful true story, Daniel survives multiple wars, a Communist revolution, a harrowing refugee escape from Ethiopia, and a life-altering industrial accident. But the attacks never cease. With multiple grand mal seizures every week, Daniel becomes completely dependent on pharmaceutical drugs and is suffocated by a brutal, demonic depression.
Eventually, Daniel finds himself trapped in despair, questioning if life is worth living at all.
Taught that his only hope lies in Jesus Christ—the One who called him to preach the good news—Daniel is left wondering if God has forgotten him in his darkest hour.
Follow Daniel’s fascinating journey from Africa to Greece to Canada, as he navigates tragedy, love, despair, and the unfailing, delivering power of God. Will Daniel find hope and restoration, or will he reach his breaking point?

A Hundredfold with Persecution
