With God in Solitary Confinement

By Richard Wurmbrand

Book Overview

During his 14-year imprisonment in Communist Romania, Richard Wurmbrand spent three years completely alone, with no human contact except for the guards who interrogated and tortured him. Though he had no Bible, pen or paper, Richard composed and memorized hundreds of sermons in rhyme to pass the lonely hours of solitude, clinging to Christ through nightly meditation on God's Word. With God in Solitary Confinement features a collection of these contemplations that he committed to memory.

Through Richard's expanded sermons, you are invited to fellowship with your persecuted Christian brothers and sisters. You will discover, through his honest reflections, the depths of despair and heights of faith experienced by those who are imprisoned and tortured for the name of Christ.

A Profound Treasure

The writings of Richard Wurmbrand are among the most prized in my library. This book is no exception. It offers a rare and unvarnished look at the nature of authentic and triumphant faith. Wurbrand's potent intellect and mystical insights have been forged together in a crucible of suffering. The result is a shining faith and deep wisdom that reflects the true beauty of of the living Christ. It is a living beauty that goes beyond doctrines, controversies, and all the other aspects of religion that sometimes divide Christians. He shows what a human life can look like when only Christ is left.

Beautiful, inspiring and so moving!

Your life will be changed if you read this book from cover to cover. My husband and I read it and cried, laughed, and fell in love with Pastor Wurmbrand (now deceased). What a powerful ministry he and his wife, Sabina had on this earth! The Communists were powerful enemies but not as powerful as Christ's redeeming love! Wonderful little book, I have read it time and again and refer to it often for inspiration.

Amazing man, Amazing book...read this one!

This man is just amazing and the things he suffered at the hands of the Romanian Communists were alarming and yet he triumphed over them all. Fascinating, twisted and absolutely delightful this book is one you will never forget!

Soul wrenching truth that should be applied, not applauded.

Wurmbrand is a living epistle. Like Job he lost everything, cried out to God with brutal honesty and found nothing lacking even in the most dire circumstances imaginable. I could only read one "sermon" a day... you have to let them soak in and still there's more with each reading. Not a book that will hit the best seller list today, even Christian best seller lists, but it should.
