Harrowing yet dramatic story of faith in Christ!

I read this book and couldn't put it down, nor could I get the images out of my head. Some of the details are horrific and the atrocities that this man suffered for his faith in Christ are terrifying. What is more amazing is how he found the courage to endure when most mortals would have given up altogether. I have always been encouraged and inspired when reading books like this, a testimony to the power of God in a life given over in humble obedience to Him. A beautiful, triumphant little book!

If you need your faith renewed, this is the book to read

I read this book many years ago, and in the midst of moving I lost it and have been trying to find another copy for a long time. What I remember most is what Mr. Popoff went through in his daily life without a Bible, and what we take for granted everyday with Bibles in our homes and not being read. Only but through the Grace of God and Mr. Popoff's strong Faith could he have survived the torment he had to endure.I promise your life will be richly blessed after reading this book. . You will be counting your blessings everyday.

Extremely Positive Despite Horrifying Circumstances

This book exemplifies the requisition for Christians to submit completely and without reservation to Jesus Christ. Popov was blessed with physical manifestations of Jesus during his darkest hour. His experiences after 13 consecutive years of torture, fear and starvation enabled him to proclaim this period of his life as an experience he would not trade, and without hesitation, to declare it was all worth it. To walk out of the Bulgarian Communist prison system after 13 years, recounting the countless men who came to Christ and went on to be with the Lord, Popov has said it was indeed worth every moment of suffering he was priviledged to endure. This is truly a special man and a wonderful book to read again and again.

A convicting account of iron clad faith

Haralan Popov tells of his kidnapping (arrest)and the torture the Communists subjected him to. From being shut in a dark, damp underground cell to being forced to stand in front of a glaring white wall motionless for two weeks straight to forced labor his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ carried him through his sufferings. While he was in prison, Popov ministered to his fellow inmates and became their pastor. When he was finally released, Popov was a spiritual giant. I recommend this book as it clearly illustrates how persecution hones the faith of those who truly trust in the Lord.

Tortured for His Faith

This has to be the best book I have ever read. It is very moving. It is hard to imagine how many things the author lived through for Christ. I recommend this book.
