Tortured for Christ, 50th Anniversary Edition (Richard Wurmbrand) PAPERBACK

Richard Wurmbrand suffered 14 years in underground prison cells, months in solitary confinement, and years of physical torture. His only crimes were his fervent belief in Jesus Christ and his public witness for that faith. Richard Wurmbrand exposed the persecution of Christians by atheistic Communist governments—his testimony shocked the Western world.

In this important work, Pastor Wurmbrand documents how he and other Romanian believers met secretly for worship and took great risks to evangelize the occupying Russian soldiers. Despite being tortured and imprisoned for fourteen years for his obedient witness, he shares a message of Christ's love and forgiveness to his persecutors. "I love the Communists with all of my heart," he wrote. "Communists can kill Christians but they cannot kill their love toward even those who killed them."

A timeless and bestselling account of courage, tenacious faith, and unbelievable endurance and forgiveness, Tortured for Christ continues to inspire Christians around the world today.

With over 10 million copies in 60 languages, this is an inspiring true story of faith that every Christian should read.
