Embark on an illustrated journey into one of the world's most isolated nations - North Korea. Juche: A Christian Study of North Korea's State Religion takes you on a journey into North Korea to view what is possibly the most rigidly controlling religious system on the planet - Juche. Through the use of unchallengeable totalitarian power, North Korea's ruling elite enforces Juche ideology in every aspect of the culture. No competing ideologies are permitted. Under the Juche belief system, man is proclaimed God in a nation whose government has officially decided against Christianity for all of its citizens. The majority of North Koreans today have never heard the name of Jesus.

This book explores the various aspects of Juche, including its origins, central teachings, spiritual dimension, and holy sites. It also considers the Juche worldview, propagation of the Juche culture, and Juche as a religion in transition. The journey into North Korea's state religion concludes by considering a biblical view of the future of Juche.

When I first met Tom Belke at Regent University, I was surprised at his interest in studying North Korea's Juche ideology. I thought it was rather odd. Now I realize that God revealed to him that the Juche philosophy was the real religion of North Korea. The Juche mentality is Satan's fetter, blinding people's minds. Juche must be broken, so that the people can be truly free. Tom has spent years researching this truth and shining God's light on the great darkness oppressing North Koreans. (-- Rev.

Rebellion separates man from the true God. Self-Dependence, Juche-ism, is the epitome of rebellion. God created us in His image to be fully dependent on Him. Juche holds the direct opposite. Through Tom's efforts, we learn more about this philosophy and the strategies that the devil has used to gain rights over the North Korean people. -- -- Rev.
