Paradigm Shift

Richard Wurmbrand brings an extremely unique perspective on life... years of solitary confinement would probably have that effect on anyone. The depth of honesty and insight (with a touch of sarcasm) is mindboggling. Check out the chapter "Non-person", it will challenge your view of self like nothing I have ever read before. Read this, or some of his other writings and glean from some of the richest writings in Church history.

A modern saint!

Richard Wurmbrand spent 15 years in prison for his faith. While this time might have caused some to lose faith or embittered others, this horrible experience only deepened his love for God, for others, and even for his persecutors. These essays were written while he was in prison. He delivered many of these mini-sermons via morse code to fellow inmates. Without pen or paper, Wurmbrand memorized these essays as acrostic poems, and upon his release he wrote down all the poems. Gradually he turned the poems back into essays and published several books. He will inspire you and stir you to a deeper faith in God.
