Captivating

I couldn't put the book down. This book pulls you in from the first page and holds you to the last. It is an eye opening book that gives a true look at what life was like in Russia after WWII for Christians. This book is also extremely inspirational. If a boy between the age of 10 and 12 could find the courage and faith to with stand the persecurtion dipicted in this story then we who live in freedom should find it easy to stand up for our faith.

Extraordinary courage in Stalinist Russia

Sasha is a young boy in Stalinist Russia. He must make a truly important decision, will he follow God, and be a Christian, even when he is beat up by former friends, publicly ridiculed by previously favorable teachers? How about when the decision will take him away from his mother? This is no book for cowards, nor for those who like to compromise with truth. It will hit you smack in the eyes. But if you want to read a true story of one boy's answer to God's calling, read this. You will not be sorry you did.
