Narrative Toward Books Tortured for Christ
One Man Who Dared to Stand Up Months of solitary confinement, years of periodic physical torture, constant suffering from hunger and cold, the anguish of brainwashing and mental cruelty—these are the experiences of a Romanian pastor during his 14 years in Communist prisons. His crime, like that of thousands of others, was his fervant belief in Jesus Christ and his public witness concerning that faith. Meeting in homes, in basements, and in woods—sometimes daring to preach in public on street corners—these faithful souls persisted in their Christian witness knowing full well the ultimate cost of their actions. This is their story—a classic account of courage, tenacious faith, and unbelievable endurance. This history of the Underground Church reflects the continuing struggle in many parts of the world today.Declare About Books Tortured for Christ

This book can be a painful book to read because of the things that the author, Richard Wurmbrand, went through. All the same, it is a powerful testament to the power of the Gospel and reveals the fact that persecution of the church continues on even to this day in the world. It also shows the power of the Spirit moving within people who TRULY believe in the Gospel. Many of these people had very little scripture. There was no complete book that contained the entire Bible or even an entire book ofRichard Wurmbrand was a Romanian pastor who fought against the Christ-suppressing Communist regime of Eastern Europe's twentieth century. He was imprisoned for a total of fourteen years -- three of which he spent thirty feet underground without light or sound -- subjected to incredible physical torture and brainwashing. He never stopped witnessing about Jesus, his Lord and Saviour. He gave his heart to the Russians -- his fellow-prisoners and his captors -- and tried to bring them all to the

Sitting in the balcony of my house in Egypt, I was reading this book with tears running down my cheek. Why would people have to live the story of the cross even though it is 2000 years after the event of Christ? As a Muslim then I reasoned that Christ must have been indeed crucified, contrary to what the Quran is stating. That book has helped me believe that the story of Christ in the gospel is real and not false as Islam claims. The sufferings of God's saints has confirmed to me that Christ

This book is a really big eye opener! I have rarely thought about the persecuted church in a modern time, but now, the thought of it scares me and I pray for it that the Church will grow in strength and size! Also, though Richard Wurmbrand went through so many dark times in dark places, to hear how he loves his persecuters is absolutely amazing and I have seen better Christ's compassion through this book. Love the sinner and hate the sin is one of those Bible verses that can slip my mind when I
