Publisher's Summary
Christian Book Award Finalist - Audio - 2020!
On February 29, 1948, Richard Wurmbrand was arrested by the secret police. His crimes? Leading Christian worship and witnessing—both of which were illegal under the atheistic Communist regime of Romania.
Richard spent fourteen years in prison. He was tortured, beaten, and locked into a solitary confinement cell. Sabina Wurmbrand spent three years in a labor camp, nearly freezing to death as she and other prisoners worked on the Danube Canal. She was repeatedly told her husband had died behind bars.
But Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand had an unshakeable faith in Christ. Neither of them gave up hope, and neither of them would stop talking about Jesus.
Now, for the first time, both sides of this amazing story are told in one book. Wurmbrand tells of Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, combining stories and research from the following books: The Pastor’s Wife, In God’s Underground, and Tortured for Christ. Your faith will be inspired as you go deep inside the darkest prison cells to see how the light of Christ continues to shine from the hearts of those totally committed to Him.

Story
In Captive in Iran, Maryam and Marziyeh recount their 259 days in Evin. It’s an amazing story of unyielding faith - when denying God would have meant freedom. Of incredible support from strangers around the world who fought for the women’s release. And of bringing God’s light into one of the world’s darkest places - giving hope to those who had lost everything, and showing love to those in despair.

As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

The dramatic autobiography of one of China's dedicated, courageous, and intensely persecuted house church leaders.

Instead of focusing on the many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to focus on the character and beauty of Jesus.

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

As a child, Petr Jasek watched Soviet tanks roll through the streets of his village in Czechoslovakia, taking the country by force and subjecting it to decades of Communist oppression. Petr grew up in the underground church and benefited from financial help and Bibles smuggled in to his family.

In 2015, he was arrested in Sudan, convicted as a war criminal, and sentenced to life in prison, where he was forced to share a group cell with ISIS terrorists.

The Necessity of the Global Church
Every Western Christian who does not know persecution, who has never risked imprisonment for their faith, needs to hear the testimonies of those who have. The courage and conviction of our brothers and sisters remind us of the war we're in, help awaken us from the lullabies of our culture, and challenge us to continue pushing into our faith, and pursuing Christ, even as He pursued us.

Inspiring! Awesome work.
I will listen to this over and over again and have recommended to many. Narration is extremely well done - the best I’ve heard thus far. I found myself sitting in the driveway at the end of my commute, not wanting to turn it off. In the mornings, I did the same at my office, sometimes needing to wait for the tears to dry. Such faithful saints, so inspiring to read about such strength. It makes my daily struggles seem so trivial! Thanks VOM!

A Must Listen for Believers
Deeply inspirational and eye opening, this book should be read or listened to by all but especially those of us who claim to be followers of Christ. It is eye opening to the evils of communism but most of all the love of Jesus even in the darkest of places. You can’t listen without being affected by the message. Let this book change you and renew your commitment to follow Jesus.
