Synopsis

Richard Wurmbrand suffered 14 years in underground prison cells, months in solitary confinement, and years of physical torture. His only crimes were his fervent belief in Jesus Christ and his public witness for that faith. Richard Wurmbrand exposed the persecution of Christians by atheistic Communist governments--his testimony shocked the Western world.

With over 10 million copies in 60 languages, this is an inspiring true story of faith that every Christian should read.

In addition to the classic story, this 50th anniversary edition features:

• a foreword by George Verwer and Dale Rhoton, founders of Operation Mobilization
• an introduction by Merv Knight, a Wurmbrand historian
• an updated epilogue by The Voice of the Martyrs
• photographs of Richard and his wife, Sabina
• an excerpt of Richard's testimony at a US Senate Subcommittee Hearing

About this title

Review:

When you have read this book, pass it to your children. No
generation should miss this story.

(Rob Parsons)

It's a Christian classic. Approach with
prayer. It could change your life.

(Rob Frost)

This book was singularly instrumental in awaking the conscience of the free
world to the horrors experienced by our brothers and sisters behind the iron
curtain. I remember reading the book many years ago and being deeply moved
and convicted. Millions of others were as well.

(Charles W. Colson, Prison Fellowship Ministries)

Tortured for Christ made an impact on my life as a recently converted
teenager in the sixties. I welcome this new edition of Tortured for Christ and pray that its story
will shake many twenty first century Christians out of their complacency
towards those who around the world today are still tortured for their
Christian witness.

(Rev John S. Smith, UK Director, Evangelical Allian)

Book Description:

Neither prison nor torture can frighten the Christians of the Underground Church.
