Synopsis

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.

Media Reviews

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.
