Tortured for Christ

Lutheran Pastor Richard Wurmbrand was persecuted for his faith in Jesus Christ by the Nazi occupiers of Romania but in his words, "The Nazi terror was great, but only a taste of what was to come under the Communists."

After fourteen years of torture and privation for sharing Christ with others, he was released from Communist prisons and allowed, after payment of a huge ransom, to leave his home country. He wrote this book in only three days as soon as he was free.

Pastor Wurmbrand cautions Christians to love their oppressors and to witness to them no matter what. He cites many examples of guards and torturers becoming brothers and sisters in the Lord after seeing the loving response of Christians. Pictures added for this edition show Pastor and Mrs. Wurmbrand in 1990 as free people in free lands visiting Moscow as well as their native Romania following the complete failure of Communism.
