Richard Wurmbrand
Living Sacrifice Book Company
Orginally published in 1967 and re-released in 1998
The story of Richard Wurmbrand, and the persuicuted communist believers everywhere. This book is a horrifying glimps into the lives of thousands of persicuted Christians everywhere. Richards story takes place in communist Russia. It begins with the tale of his youth, in which he was not a Christian, but a atheistic Russian youth. He tells of an unuasual attraction to churches and of his following conversion. Richard tells of leading his first church with no "formal" training and his quick inprisionment under the Nazi's. The book is a retelling of what Richard endured in prision for a total of 14 years, and a wonderful story of how the persecuted Christians, in the midst of terrible brutality, still loved the Communist and earnestly desired to reach them with the love of Christ.
Tortured for Christ is filled with stories of the martyrs in other parts of the world. Stories of how Communist who tortured and killed Christians were won with the love of God. Stories of how the underground church reached and is reaching people in countries where speaking of Christ is illegal. Glimpses of the horrors inflicted on the faithful, unyielding Christians. Details on the true inner workings of the Communist regime, down to how they indoctrinate little children to HATE Christ. This book will help you understand why Communism is dangerous to ALL people!
Written 30 years ago, this book is STILL relevant as religious oppression STILL occurs in much of the world today. In the last chapters of this book you can find a list of ways to support the underground church. I suggest this book for anyone who has grown complacent in their faith, or anyone who wants to learn more about persecution and what they can do to help.
