This classic story of amazing faith in shocking circumstances has been updated for a new generation. Its message remains urgent and relevant: thousands of Christians are still persecuted and tortured around the world today, suffering solely for their belief in Jesus Christ. Richard Wurmbrand endured months of solitary confinement, years of periodic physical torture, constant suffering from hunger and cold, the anguish of brainwashing and mental cruelty. His captors lied to his wife, saying he was dead. Yet he went on to tell the West the truth about Christianity behind the Iron Curtain. Millions of people have been touched by this story, and thirty years after its first publication it is now updated with a new foreword by Rob Frost, a picture section and details of the final years of Wurmbrand's life.

"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

Wurmbrand reflects on his torturers’ atheism:

"It was in vain. They are materialists. For them nothing besides matter exists and to them a man is like wood, like an eggshell. With this belief they sink to unthinkable depths of cruelty.

The cruelty of atheism is hard to believe. When a man has no faith in the reward of good or the punishment of evil, there is no reason to be human. There is no restraint from the depths of evil that is in man. The Communist torturers often said, “There is no God, no hereafter, no punishment for evil. We can do what we wish.†I heard one torturer say, “I thank God, in whom I don’t believe, and that I have lived to this hour when I can express all the evil in my heart.†He expressed it in unbelievable brutality and torture inflicted on prisoners"

Thanks Gabriel I read that book in 1972, very powerful, what a shame that book isn't required reading at the high school level.

No problem, ToB. I may pick up a copy myself (unfortunately, the offers only available in the US)
 
They also have a magazine that is good, and even a children's magazine. I love that in your signature line, Caroline. VOM has really given our family and understanding that we would not have if they didn't share the sufferings of our brothers and sisters with us. Today we are going to be learning about Martin and Gracia Burnham, and how the Lord worked in their lives. We have the book, but we haven't read it yet.

The Lord bless all of you.
 
I have this book, amazing story! I'm a big supporter of the Voice of the Martyrs.
 
i agree that it should be required for the high school level. i also think that churches should pass them out to all believers. this book will strengthen us against the enemy on so many different levels.


there is another free book that is very powerful it is called REVOLUTION IN WORLD MISSIONS.

you can get this sent to you free fro www.gospelforasia.com
 
Thanks Chris! I've just ordered a copy. :thumb

Do you long to let go of self-centeredness and be more eternally minded? Do you desire to make a difference in the lost world but aren't sure how to go about it? The gripping message in Revolution in World Missions can radically change your life.

In this exciting and fast moving narrative, K.P. Yohannan shares how God brought him from his remote Indian village to become the founder of Gospel for Asia, which supports thousands of native missionaries.

With fascinating true stories and eye-opening statistics, you'll be challenged to examine and change your lifestyle in view of millions who have never heard the Gospel.
