A truly shocking story, completely foreign to my comfy and safe world. This reminds readers that we in America are not facing persecution. We are mildly uncomfortable once a month or so. Over a decade in prison, which was basically a concentration camp, suffering torture and disease daily. So many times Richard should have died due to sickness, but the Lord kept him alive. His ministry during his prison life was nothing short of inspiring. An extremely inspiring and convicting story of how true Christians live and suffer. Highly recommend to any Christ follower.

Wow! The Wurmbrand's story is absolutely incredible. Suffering in a communist prison for fourteen years. Suffering and persecuted only because of their faith. Simply amazing what this family went through and the horrors they experienced. It is a story every Christian should read. We need to be better at suffering with our brothers and sisters in different countries.

To see the horrors of Communism/Socialism, to read of the torture and slavery these two were put through, and yet they continued to love. They loved their fellow man even when they weren't worthy. They loved as Christ loved. Simply remarkable.

It is astonishing to me that people still think Communism/Socialism can work. This is the book everyone should be required to read. It is sad to read their stories and begin to see the comparisons to our world today. A world with an indoctrinated and ignorant people. A world where the family is constantly under attack. A world where God is under attack.

I also recommend Live Not By Lies and The Devil and Karl Marx.

O poveste care te cutremură…Cum vei putea vreodată să înduri suferința la fel cum a făcut acest om?
Nu cred ca am putea, nu dacă nu Îl avem pe Hristos.
Doar Dumnezeu a putut să lucreze atât de minunat și de puternic prin acest om.
O carte cu greutate, care te îndeamnă la rugăciune și la veghere pe Cale.

Inspiring story. Please note that it does have descriptions of torture.
