Married to a Martyr: The Story of the Murder of a Missionary in Turkey

By Johnathan Carswell and Jonathan Carswell

Book Overview

The story of the murder of a missionary in Turkey - killed because of his faith.

Rumours of a terrible, triple murder were circulating around the world. Something horrific had happened but reports were sketchy at best, frequently embellished and exaggerated. As hearsay was replaced with hard evidence it was revealed that Susanne Geske had become a martyr's widow, a long way from home, in Malatya, eastern Turkey. With so many aggrandised stories being told as fact, this book seeks the truth from the one person who could provide it with complete authority - Susanne Geske - a truly remarkable woman. Married to a Martyr is a story of tragedy and hope.

Worthwhile

The majority of this work details the early life, education, and calling of Susanne, as well as her ministry along side her husband and 3 children to Turkey. It closes with the murder and funeral of her husband, Tilmann, and the Christian witness she sought to bring to bear in the midst of her intense grief.
