The History of the Underground Church - a classic account of courage, tenacious faith and unbelievable endurance!

Includes appendix.

After years of imprisonment and solitary confinement, enduring inhumane torture, Richard Wurmbrand emerges with a powerful testimony of courageous faith. Even today, believers are suffering and dying for Christ, yet their faith will not falter under the most unthinkable persecutions. In this stirring account, Wurmbrand (founder of The Voice of the Martyrs) encourages us to remember those in chains and equips us to help our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ around the world.

O playboy que se tornou pregador — esteve preso durante 14 anos em cadeias comunistas. Os guardas tentaram forçá-lo a confessar que pertencia a uma rede de espionagem imperialista. Foi açoitado, torturado e obrigado a ingerir drogas.
Apesar de tudo ele resistiu e ficou firme. Passou dois anos na "cela da morte" — assim chamada por não ter voltado ninguém dali com vida.

"Months of solitary confinement, years of periodic physical torture, constant suffering from hunger and cold, the anguish of brain-washing and mental cruelty these are the experiences of a Romanian pastor during his fourteen years in Communist prisons. His crime, like that of thousands of others, was his fervent belief in Jesus Christ and his public witness concerning his 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"--Page 4 of cover.
