The Miracle of the Seventh-Day Ox

Rate this book
There was no one he knew. No one to care what happened to him. As he tossed and turned trying to fall asleep, his mind would suddenly begin to panic and scream out in protest, How did I get myself into this? A pastor living in Communist Russia, Nickolai Panchuk struggled as a prisoner of the KGB to find his purpose. Persecuted for his Christian faith, Nickolai remained in a Siberian camp for eight years, refusing to sacrifice his faith and suffering the consequences. Harassed, beaten, and dejected, Nickolai found hope in the unlikeliest source: an old ox named Maksim.

With the help and strength of God, Nickolai and Maksim worked together to perform a weekly miracle witnessing for Christ in the most disparaging of circumstances and winning souls along the way.

There are 2 authors named Bradley booth.One writes Christian books and the other has only written one book ,"I apologize" which is fiction trash. Do not get the two confused.

Such a great example off leaning on God and stepping back to let God reveal His glory in His OWN appointed time. The preacher man showed

great courage under fire! The devil tries to overcome God's people,but he will not prevail! A very inspirational read! Thankyou

GREAT!

Not a lengthy book, but if one hangs in, they will be greatly rewarded by the last few chapters. I laughed hysterically through those, with rejoicing in my heart

Faith restored

God is always in control. But we have to be faithful and belive that our hardship for faith is nothing in relation to his ability to do miracles.

Easy and inspiring read

Stand true to the faith and God will not let you down. Keep praying even when you do not get answers immediately. It’s almost like I didn’t want the story to end.

For anyone who wants to be encouraged and inspired by what God can do when you are faithful, this is the book for you. It follows one mans journey through war torn Russia and the trials that are in his path because he will not let go of his faith and his God. But God used all these trials for good, not only to test him but also to be a witness to many.

The Miracle of the Seventh-Day Ox by Bradley Booth - Oh my goodness. This is a true story of horror of what pastor Nickolai Panchuk went endured for his faith and the miracles that followed because of his faith in his God. If we could only have faith like his.
