The Sport of Ruining Lives: Political & Religious Persecution in Modern America - Paperback

by Joanne J. Stoner (Author)

When an American Christian family moves to Moscow to help launch a local Christian television station, they believe they are answering a calling. They never imagine the storm that lies ahead. The family leaves Moscow and returns to the United States five years before the Russia-Ukraine war erupts. Yet when war breaks out, and geopolitical chaos spreads across the globe, the conflict reaches far beyond the battlefield, pulling their lives into a dangerous, high-stakes drama spanning continents.

After President Biden takes office in 2021, the Department of Justice resurrects the husband's past and turns it into a weapon, threatening to destroy everything the family holds dear. As political persecution intensifies, loyalty is tested, faith is shaken, and family bonds are pushed to the breaking point. With every page, readers descend into a world where government policy is weaponized, and religious freedom is crushed. Will the family cling to their convictions amid relentless pressure? Or will the machinery of power completely ruin their lives?

Vividly portrayed and electrifying, The Sport of Ruining Lives weaves intrigue, suspense, and global politics into a heart-pounding narrative set against the dramatic backdrops of Moscow and New York. More than a thriller, it is a timely and provocative exploration of faith, freedom, and survival in a world where justice is no longer impartial and the rules are anything but fair.
