I am pleased to have Andrew Montonera as this week's guest on FIRST PERSON. Andrew is related by marriage to martyred missionaries John and Betty Stam and has written a new account of their story in his book, By Life or by Death.
Using family scrapbooks and unpublished sources, Andrew has taken a fresh look at the story of the Stam's death in 1934 when they were executed by Communist Chinese soldiers. Their story captured the world's attention in 1934 and still holds meaningful lessons for us today.
Shortly before his death, John Stam wrote a letter to mission authorities and wrote, "May God be glorified whether by life or by death" (Philippians 1:20).

Monster: BTK
'Monster: BTK', the newest installment in the 'Monster' franchise, reveals the true story of the Wichita, Kansas serial killer who murdered at least 10 people between 1974 and 1991. Known by the moniker, BTK – Bind Torture Kill, his notoriety was bolstered by the taunting letters he sent to police, and the chilling phone calls he made to media outlets. BTK's identity was finally revealed in 2005 to the shock of his family, his community, and the world. He was the serial killer next door. From Tenderfoot TV & iHeartPodcasts, this is 'Monster: BTK'.
