In 1945 Communist Romania, pastor Richard Wurmbrand shocked his church when he denounced government oppression and declared, “We must defend our God!” His resistance caused him to be imprisoned and tortured for eight years. Retold for 8- to 12-year-olds, this illustrated story will embolden your children to stand up for Christ!

Tortured for Christ, Gift Hardback Edition by Richard Wurmbrand and published by The Voice of the Martyrs.

This dramatic testimony shocked the Western world! After spending years in underground prison cells and solitary confinement, enduring inhumane tortures, Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand emerged with the testimony of today’s Christian martyrs (they later founded the “Voice of the Martyrs” ministry).

Months of solitary confinement, years of periodic physical torture, constant suffering from hunger and cold, the anguish of brain-washing and mental cruelty–these are the experiences of a Romanian pastor during his fourteen years in Communist prisons. His crime, like that of thousands of others, was his fervent belief in Jesus Christ and his public witness concerning that faith.

This beautiful padded hardback edition includes a presentation page and ribbon bookmark.
