This is an eyewitness account of God's presence in the horror of communist prisons. Imprisoned by the Romanian Communists for his work in the Christian Underground, and subjected to medieval torture, Wurmbrand kept his faith—and strengthened it. For fourteen years, he shared that faith with suffering cellmates and gave them solace. This is a very powerful autobiographical account of the fourteen years which Pastor Richard Wurmbrand spent in prison. He was sent there in 1948 because he was a Christian who refused to renounce his faith and embrace Communism. The book describes in detail much of his experience, including attempts at brainwashing and some appalling torture. Somehow it manages to be vivid without being graphic. It brought alive the horrors of this kind of imprisonment, yet didn't give me nightmares. I found it gripping reading, despite there being so many people mentioned that I lost track of who was whom at times, and a fair bit of 'preaching'. Recommended to anyone - Christian or otherwise - who would like to know more about what went on during the Communist era in Rumania. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Imprisoned by the Romanian Communists for his work in the Christian Underground, and subjected to medieval torture, Wurmbrand kept his faith and strengthened it. For fourteen years, he shared that faith with suffering cellmates and gave them solace. In solitary confinement, he tapped out his message of hope and Christian love. In Room Four, the "death room", he helped dying patients even though his lungs were riddled with tuberculosis and his body lacerated and bloody from whips and kicks. Anguished over the fate of his wife and son, he could still tell jokes and stories to make despairing prisoners laugh. Sorely tempted by the promise of release and reprieve, he refused to become a Communist collaborator. And the miracle is that he survived. With humble gratitude to God and Christ, he tells his personal story. It¿s an inspiring drama of triumphant faith. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
