Chronicle Concering 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.Rating Of Books Tortured for 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 IWurmbrand's autobiography tells how he went from Jew to Christian, and Marxist to Republican, under the Romanian governments of the Nazis and Communists. Wurmbrand and his family were brutalized, enslaved and imprisoned by the Communist government of Romania before he was ransomed by friends to become the voice of the persecuted Christian Church to the world. In 1966, he testified before the US Congress, famously removing his short to show the physical wounds of his torture. He was known as,
Although this book speaks of the struggles and triumphs of the Underground Church under Soviet Communism in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, the sufferings of Christians in persecuted lands continues today. Richard Wumbrand's survival of his own imprisonment and torture is truly miraculous. His ability to share with us today what the true church of Christ had to endure in the 20th century is riveting and so important to read, learn about, remember, and pass on to the next generation of those who would
So difficult to read. Painful. As uncomfortable as it all is though, I don't want to go back to my ignorance of these things...blissfully living my self-absorbed, comfy life in Christ while around the world Christians are still suffering & dying for their faith. A paragraph in a 1997 letter in the appendix from Frank R. Wolf, 10th district, Virginia, House of Representatives (on the subcommittee for Security & Cooperation in Europe) hit me..."Worldwide persecution and martyrdom of
Wow, what an incredible book. This book opened my eyes to the persecution faced by a Pastor in Romania, and our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who face persecution. What Pastor Wurmbrand went through during his fourteen years made me cringe at times, but I was also in awe of the love he had for the very men who beat and tortured him during those years. Many believers in other Countries don't have access to bibles, and are so happy when they finally have just a page of one. How incredible
Richard 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
Just a fantastic, heart-breaking, and inspiring book. I can't believe I hadn't read this book before now, but I'm glad that I remedied the situation. This book was written by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, a Romanian pastor who spent a total of 14 years in Communist prisons for daring to preach Christ under Communist rule. It is truly the work of a Spirit-filled believer who has had his faith tested and tried in the most oppressive conditions imaginable. Under conditions which would (and have) broken
