About this audiobook
Solitary confinement, mental and physical torture, extreme hunger and bitter cold-these were the daily realities for Pastor Richard Wurmbrand during his combined 14 years of imprisonment in Communist Romania. Richard's crime, like that of thousands of others, was his fervent faith in Jesus Christ and his outspoken witness to the grace and love of God. In Tortured for Christ, Richard shares the inspiring story of his faithful discipleship amid Communist oppression and his powerful witness of Christ's love and forgiveness even before his persecutors.
Known as "the book that shocked the world," Tortured for Christ is a timeless, bestselling account of courageous faith, unbelievable endurance, and inspiring forgiveness that continues to encourage new generations of Christians.4 years of imprisonment in Communist Romania. Richard's

RICHARD WURMBRAND (1909 - 2001) endured 14 years of prison in Communist Romania for his Christian witness. His wife, Sabina (1913 - 2000), spent three years in prison for her faith. After Richard and Sabina left Romania, they founded The Voice of the Martyrs in 1967 to aid families of imprisoned Christians in Communist nations and other countries where Christians are persecuted for their faith.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Read, if you're willing to be challenged and convicted!
Do not read if you want to stay comfortable in your safe, individualistic Christianity.
Avoid if you do not want to sacrifice anything and don't want learn how to "love your enemies" and "carry your cross daily" actually looks.
Be warned, this book could change your life forever!1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A book difficult to read or listen to. Difficult in the sense of hard to swallow amid the cruelties. But truly inspirational, not in the sense to repeat such a tragic story, but to be steadfast in the ordinary life of a Christian and the small things of life.
It is also refreshing to read a story which is not saturated with half-lies or made-up anecdotes.
It would be an excellent book if the publisher would not have partly ruined it, by inserting out of the blue and totally out of context C.H. Spurgeon, an arrogant teacher who was the opposite of Wurmbrand ("I believe there will be more in heaven than in hell", strong embrace of ecumenism, endorsed Catholic mystics/Knights Templar, Augustinian/Calvinist, called free will ridiculous, Once-Saved-Always-Saved ...). Both are so contrary that it becomes obvious that the British publisher felt the need to pep at least the quotations up, and to insert their great idol of Celebrity Christianity. There are few endorsements in the book, but those are almost all very problematic, such as the endorsement of Anthony de Mello, who was a Jesuit priest and psychotherapist ... There is no way that a Christian like Wurmbrand would have endorsed a Jesuit and a Calvinist. It does not fit.
Recommended, but to be read with discernment regarding the names quoted and endorsed.1 person found this helpful
