Richard Wurmbrand (1909–2001)

Two Chinese Christians shivered with cold in a cell. Each had a thin blanket. One of the Christians looked to the other and saw how he trembled. The thought came to him, "If that were Christ, would you give Him your blanket?" Of course he would, Immediately he spread the blanket over his brother;

During Pastor Wurmbrand's 14 years in solitary confinement he suffered physical & mental torture, extreme hunger & cold in communist Romania. His crime, like thousands of others, was his fervent belief in Jesus Christ and public witness concerning his faith.

This is an eyewitness account of God's presence in the horror of communist prisons. Imprisoned by the Romanian Communists for his work in the Christian Underground, and subjected to medieval torture, Wurmbrand kept his faith—and strengthened it. For fourteen years, he shared that faith with suffering cellmates and gave them solace.

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.
